Probably correct, but be patient. You’ll undoubtedly see more. They’re the smallest crows over there, with a light grey patch on their nape.

That’s a neat find. I love shrikes (aka butcher birds because of the way they impale their prey), but haven’t seen this one.

You might take credit for a new species here: the Spanish sparrow, the close cousin of both the house sparrow and Italian sparrow. Pretty much indistinguishable except by location.

At least they know how to park!

Guess the street light is on to make sure you “see” it..

Hey! Climb to the top and slide on down! ( building on top upper left of this photo)

Not that we noticed, but many of the residents looked like they could have been from that era.

Dodie says - take the left turn at the gas station and go down, down, down, to the sea and the good bike path. Our track does finally show this after 2 false starts.

Phew! We’re booked at the Casual Pop Art, which sounds interesting enough. Doesn’t sound like a retirement home full of grumpy old men. At least.

Marconi... Did they have an old, really old radio?

If you zoom in with the RWGPS map, you can easily see our various miscues. Yesterday they were pretty major. There is some debate here about what the map shows, but I (Steve) think we were never getting out unless we backtracked as we did. Dodie thinks she sees some dotted lines and little roads that (by midnight!) could have been our hikeabike exit.

The Marconi

Great breakfast story! What’s the name of this place? I want to check and make sure we’re not booked there too.

Thanks again! We’ll avoid this one too.

Thank goodness for friendly bikers, eh? What a day for you both!
