Nice report sandman. I have reggae playing in the background and I read your wonderful narratives. You and Mrs. Sandman look so happy and content. Portland will do that to you. Glad to hear you two are enjoying yourselves and, obviously, each other. I like how you are keeping busy regardless of the weather. The rain may slow things a little, but won’t ever pin me down. I would like to see pictures of the roof top at Tim Bamboo. It was under construction last time I was there.

I go to that market for my vegetable & fruit supply, then wander inside to mainly browse. Amazing all that is sold in there. Said I will splurge on a couple pair of shoes next time I’m in PA. Nice variety of sandals and heels.

Sounds like ALL the beaches are treating you and the Mrs. very well. Hope you make it to Long Bay beach and check out the bar down there. Forgot to mention the cook shop “on” Boston Beach has good food and ice cold red stripes. Very reasonable and the folks who run it are truly kind.

The local bar you found sounds cozy…just what you were looking for? Nothing like a place you can walk into, order and drink and feel at home. Tell me where this place is please. When leaving Tim Bamboo, do you head to the main road or the opposite direction, around the bend?
