Something seems to be going on most weekends here. A couple of weeks ago there was an international fair on the promenade by the harbor. (If you’re Facebook friends with John, you will already have seen a picture from that.) The following weekend was a medieval street fair with food, crafts, and entertainment in the neighborhood just inside the wall from us.

And every weekend so far the yacht club next door has had races. It’s fun to watch the little ones entering and leaving the harbor.

Last week nephew Joel Stocks stopped by and spent a few days with us. It was great to have him visit even though we didn’t do much. We took him with us on our usual store runs and made sure that he got to see the main market here. Mostly we relaxed, and John and Joel stayed up very late most nights talking about food and cooking.

We have managed to see some of the historic sights although we haven’t visited any museums yet except the one next door. It’s easy to take a detour that leads past some ruin or other. They’re everywhere here, especially close to the harbor.
