23 May ’05, Monday. The Coastline and Boardwalk of Larne
Sunday, we decided that we have been sitting too much, so we took a long walk. Larne is a town that is situated along side the North Channel of the Irish Sea. It has a pretty busy maritime industry, especially the ferry system to Scotland and England. It also boasts a long boardwalk that runs for miles along the coast. So that is the long walk we took. We were out over 3 hours, and it was really a good and picturesque outing. We had been told about this very good restaurant across the street, so come dinner, we decided to splurge. Well, it was ok, but getting out was what we really needed.
Monday the rain decided to stay with us all day, so we watched a movie. We have found it interesting that the local papers (pretty much throughout Ireland, England, and Scotland) have a Video DVD or a Vocal CD included with their Sunday newspapers. This is an incentive to purchase their paper. It doesn’t cost anymore, and you find yourself looking at the DVD/CD to see if this is the one you want before picking up the paper. Well anyway, our choice of DVD was “Fried Green Tomatoes”, so with a rainy day and a new DVD, we decided to stay at home and veg with a movie. We had seen the movie many years ago, and had forgotten just how good it was…we really enjoyed it…another one for our DVD inventory. We have also picked up great Video CD’s as well. I also met with Robert, and we ordered the clutch assembly and Thursday is the day for “Bumble Bee” to get her new clutch. At least we are very hopeful…it seems that there are 2 possible assemblies, and we had to make a “gut” determination as to the right one. It was ordered from England and will be here Wednesday. Wish us good luck…
