Here we are in Paradise

It seems that when you are living aboard your vessel, no matter where you are or what you may be doing it is still paradise.  Most of us are living our dream.  Retired and lines casted off.  The weather doesn't even seem to really put much of a damper on things.  It is not always sunny in paradise.

This is what the sky looked like most of the day yesterday.  It did not stop us from doing the things that we enjoy on and off of Enigma.  The thing we like the most when off of the boat is eating.  Sometimes it's just burgers and fries or appitizers like nachos or crab legs.  Yesterday we went to a little place on Aviles Street.  This is an all old brick road with very narrow sidewalks.  I really am surprised that they let cars and the trolleys travel on it.  It is claimed to be the oldest road in the U.S.

I had been wanting to try Gaufre's and Goods for a long time.  It is a Greek and Polish Cafe.  I had Ola's Potato and Cheese Pierogies sauteed with onions.  There were six of just the right size to fill me up.  Bill had the Borsch, a red beet soup with mushroom dumplings.  It was good but not real filling.  So we walked to Chianti's.  The happy hour there is from 3 to 6.  You get two glasses of anything, from milk or soda to wine, beer or any crazy concoction. It comes with a nice slice of pizza.  I gave Bill mine since I was full and he just had the soup.

It kept raining so we just came back to the boat.  We had drinks.  Even our dog.  Now as most of you know Bill and I had rescued dogs, mostly English Mastiffs for over 20 years.  We currently have one dog.  We just call him Robo Dog.

My camera battery ran out right after Bill took this photo.  I will get more shots of him soon.  Meanwhile, we will still call him Robo Dog unless someone can come up with something better.  He has been Robo Dog for about 3 years now but I am sure he will answer to anything.  So what do you think?
