If you're fond of sand dunes and salty air GROOVE ARMADA
We awoke from our slumber – a well needed and deserved slumber – around 9AM, and walked to go to buy groceries from the local market. The owner of the market remembered me from 14 years ago. His store has double in size and now he make fresh bread – business must be good at the Market Retiro da Lagoa. Not much has changed in this part of town. The farms are still around witha few cows. The lands look to be cleared a little more, but all in all, pretty much the same road all the way into Praia Joaquina. Glad to see the lack of progress. Viena is so interested in all the things that Mylon did when he was here. The weather is nice and warm, but not hot like in the summertime. Dwana has had a headache all day, but we convinced her to go for an evening walk through the dunes. The sun was a couple hours from setting and that allowed a perfect time to walk through the trail at the back of the soccer field into the trails – the pokeys trails – of the dunes – where Mylon used to walk when he was Ezra and Viena’s age. “How many times did Mylon walk this with you and Mom?” -“153”. “How do you remember that?” – “I have a great memory.” “Why can’t you remember France when you fell asleep in the Lourve?” – “That was a long time ago.”
