I see I mis-dated yesterday's post. Can I still blame it on jet lag?
Today was a fairly quiet day. Suzanne became ill and spent most of the day resting. John took her to the doctor this afternoon. It rained most of the day, so I spent most of my time reading. Late this afternoon when the rain had stopped I ventured out to take some photos.
This is a picture of the basement. This is were the magic happens. The book store is here as well as some other somewhat unknown but very important spots.
Like the speak easies! Each language group has their own little speak easy in the basement. This is the one for the English speakers.
This is the one for the French speakers. Notice that fire extinguisher. Apparently things get pretty hot in this little watering hole.
This is the magnolia. If you recall, a couple of days ago I put a photo of its bud in the blog. These flowers are incredibly beautiful!
This is the hall that my room is in. I'm staying in the "religous house" as the hotel folks call it. It's actually the Generalate guest rooms.
This is the front gate of the Generalate. Notice the two gate houses on either side.
The father and son grounds keepers live in the gate houses. The son has raised an entire family in this gate house. I'm pretty sure this house is smaller than my office.
Tonight's video will not be posted. In the middle of making it a large tree branch fell and almost hit me. In reviewing the video, it became apparent that I said a word that is not family friendly. So I've decided to not put the video here. However, if you want to see my brush with death and my response there will be a viewing at a later date.
Tomorrow will be a busy day. It's our last day before large groups of participants begin to arrive. The program doesn't officially start until Sunday, but a number of people come in the day before. That means tomorrow is our last day to do any prep work.
I do intend to get out tomorrow for a gelato. Seriously. I've only had one since I've been here!
Till Tomorrow...
