At least twice a week (weather and health permitting), I liked to take a walk about a mile long to the Computer Center in the town library next to the Community Center. Even though the Computer Center opened at 10am, I liked to leave around 9am so I would have time to stop a few times to rest and to chat with my neighbors.
One place in particular I loved to stop was to chat with Rubber.

Rubber is an old and dear friend whom I have known for nearly 25 years. He grows coffee and cocoa and I can always count on a freshly brewed cup of coffee or a hot cup of real cocoa.

Across the street is another favorite store for incidentals that you might need but not want to go all the way into Santa Cruz to purchase.

Down near Cudjoe’s Monument, I arrive at the Community Center with the Library and Computer Center next door. I am usually a likkle early so I stop at the Community Center to chat with whoever is on duty. Here is a picture of the mural on the wall.
