Sep. 30, 2007 - People Watching on The Marginal Way

This scenic walk in Ogunquit Maine is a little over a mile long and meanders along the edge of the sea up along a cliff. Many benches dot the walk, making it inviting to sit and just watch the waves crash on the granite rocks below.

So, later, when we walked back to Perkins Cove I decided to say hello and smile at each person as we passed. I was surprised that about one third looked away & pretended not to have heard my greetings. Women were more likely than men to say hello. But I wonder if my husband hadn't been walking behind me (grumbling that I should stop-I sounded like a parrot!) would more men have said hello?

Jan. 31, 2006 - Relaxation on the Beach in Kona Village

I preferred a beach chair, but Lily was setting the tone for our 7 days of fun in the sun and the sand. They have done a great job with sunscreen too, because nobody got burned....except for some posteriors of the gals (Leah, Dawn and Judy) that went snorkeling and forgot their behinds!!!!

Jan. 30, 2006 - Whale Watching from Kona Village

The glass bottomed boat went out 4 times a day and was included in the amenties at Kona Village. We saw dozens of whales. While we could watch them breeching from shore everyday, it was fun to get up close. We missed the dolphins this year. Last year there wer hundreds of spinner dolphins, jumping and spinning in the air. One day we didn't go out in the boat, they showed up, but, alas, we were busy playing tennis and missed it.

Brother Andy played on my team and he and I beat Bub one day!

Jan. 30, 2006 - Kona Village Days
