Monday was a slow day for both of us due to our suffering somewhat from colds. So not much to report apart from a little bit of shopping, reading and checking emails etc.
On Tuesday the weather changed and became a little cooler and much better for us as we could turn off the air conditioning completely. It’s dropped from around 90 degrees F to about 70 degrees F so we decided to go for a walk through The Meadows to get a better idea of our surroundings. It was a very nice walk indeed of about three hours duration along to the Country Club and back via the shopping village. We stopped and watched some of the golfers and realised that this is not a sport if you want some exercise. It’s about 20/30 paces from the Car Park to where you pick up your electric caddy car and then you are off. At each hole you get out of you little car and walk two paces to hit the ball and another two paces back, times 18 holes that is around 36 paces, and then you drive to where the ball landed and here you may have to walk more and this depends how good a golfer you are. So this could be anywhere between 4 and 10 paces and so after all the 18 holes you may, if you are lucky, only walked about a couple of hundred yards. Then it’s back to the golf club and racing the other carts back so that you can get a place near the bar where you won’t have to walk too far either. Am I being unfair to golfers??? I don’t know but looking at most of the overweight golfers that we saw I think this is a fair and accurate impression.
Anyway the walk through The Meadows was very nice indeed and in fact the place should be called The Lakes. We walked quite a few miles and saw some very attractive views and also many birds and flowers. This estate has been laid out extremely well and every house has a lake view.
So now it’s off to the shops to sit outside the KIVA JUICE BAR, as they are the guys with free wireless internet connections near to us, so that we can send and check our emails and update this blog.
See you all tomorrow.
