Tonight Michael has meetings until quite late - so I went out by myself. Sunset was to be at 6:52 so I headed out at 6:15PM. It was a beautiful night, a light wind, not too many clouds, temperatures perfect for shorts and a t-shirt.
Since I walk very slow, I decided to go to the furthest, highest outlook point first and then make my way back downhill. It was very crowded with people - lots of restaurants are open along the streets I walk up.
I passed one of the look out points on the beach. This one has steps to the beach. People were camped out watching the sunset.
A view towards town. Notice there is a gap between the last couple of buildings. This is the entry way to walk onto the little peninsula. There is a restaurant with outside seating in the middle. I will be walking to a further lookout to start with.
I love these clouds!
If you take this street up - you get to the newer part of town and you are going away from the water.
There are several of these tourist maps around the city - of course with advertisements for local amenities.
I got to the outlook behind the church just in time.
A view back to the lighthouse.
There is a walkway down to the rocks on the left side of the photo.
Shops are open for business. I see tourists wearing clothing that is on offer here and other shops. It is all very colorful and vibrant clothing.
Now I am back near the peninsula and below are chairs and umbrellas for one of the hotels nearby.
Restaurants on the left and right above.
I have not walked down this section as it is a little steep and is gated shut for the night and early morning.
Back to the beach and heading back to my street. The moon is a sliver in the sky.
This hotel is on the corner of my street.
Back in my apartment building I wanted to document the infamous step. The doorway and step look really innocuous - don't they?
It is only about 4" high. But it was dark here the night I fell.
The moon and view from our balcony.
I have heard that steps of nonstandard size are the most dangerous and your experience certainly shows this.
ReplyDeleteDoes the sun set and it get dark there by 7:30?
