We have been gone almost two
months. It is hard to believe as the time is flying by so quickly. The weather here changes quickly. On Monday it was a dreary rainy day and we spent the day in our little suite reading and watching TV. In the night a big wind came and Tuesday was a sunny day. We decided to go to
Devonport, a coastal town. This community is quite large compared to
Deloraine and is about 50 km away. There is a beautiful park that follows the coast. We parked and it became obvious that the it was perfect surfing weather. Cars drove quickly into the parking lot and the driver would leap out,
gra
b
their surf board and head into the water.
There were huge waves and the surfers were having a good time. We watched for a while and then walked along the parkway. It was fascinating to watch the ocean crash against the shore. Everything died down by early afternoon and we went to Port
Sorell so Bruce could fish off the jetty. I told Bruce he was to catch and release so I am not sure if he did catch a fish as he came up to car with no fish!! Today started overcast but by noon the sun was shining. I went shopping in
Launceston with our host Margaret as she bought
some last minute items for their three month, volunteer trip to Tonga. We had a fun time chatting and shopping. The day finished with a beautiful rainbow in front of the house. Our plans are to go to Hobart for the week-end. We will take a couple of days travelling along the east coast to get there. Thanks for the comments folks are writing. It is great to hear from you-- oh Happy Birthday Canada.
