Madeleine's Adventure: Art on the waterfront

I found my zen!
It made a lovely appearance on Friday, when I was walking on the waterfront.

I set out early on Friday, to go to the local immigration office. I wanted to try get my visa extended. Why?? My current visa said/ still says I can stay 66 days. Which means I’d leave the island and country on March 14. As planned. But Toby was considering a flight that would leave March 16. I wanted to stay with him until then. Also, what if I test positive for Covid19 and can’t leave? Or my flight is cancelled, like so many are these days?

Lucky for me, I was second in line at the office when it opened. It only took 45 minutes for my turn. And the nice desk lady, and an immigration consultant who was there with a client, spoke English. This conversation was definitely beyond my Spanish skills!

The answer was no, they could not extend my visa. If my departure is delayed, keep all proof of reason, keep your head down, hope for the best! Not ideal. But I might not be delayed. And if I was, I
would not be the only one these days. Try to not worry.

Since I was downtown early in the day, I stayed. The air was just that right amount of warm and cool. It was still quiet. I walked from downtown to the north end of town. To have breakfast, knit, and enjoy the waterfront. Lucky me!!

1) Huevos estrellados con salsa verde (Sunnyside eggs with green sauce). One of my favourites! With lemonade, knitting, and an ocean view. Wonderful! (I could do without the kinda loud dance music tho…)

2) I think there’s a little more art on the island than before. Can you see? Scavenged items hanging in the tree. And this sailboat that got grounded years ago is being used for murals. Interesting. It was much further from shore before. I’m assuming the part that’s in the water is rotting, so the whole thing is being pushed closer to shore by waves and wind?
