Saturday, time to paint, paint, paint!
Today I am home and I am going to paint. We have the Veendam and the Ocean Village ships coming to El Guamache tomorrow.
Yesterday was a slow day at the port. Lots of people looked but most didn't buy. It was nice to visit with some of the folks.
Sometimes when I tell the people, good morning, or you are welcome to step around her so you can see them necklaces better, they just walk off without saying a word and act like I didn't exist. Doesn't that seem a bit rude?
I detest sales people who are pushy or follow you around but I don't do that and I was only trying to be friendly. The world is full of all kinds of people.
Lots of people went to the beach at the port. It is only about ankle deep close to the shore. If you go out far enough, the water gets deep enough to swim in. I have seen quite a few people lay on their backs in the water near the shore. Cool!
There are water craft and paddle boats for rent at the beach. They also rent beach chairs and there is a gazebo where you can get a nice relaxing massage.
Just before you reach the beach, there is a small restaurant and open air bar. They have a live band and dancers. There are restrooms there also.
The better maintained restrooms are up close to the dock where the ship is. That means you will find toilet paper, soap and water in those restrooms.
Pearls are cheap here and you can find a vast array of pearl necklaces. You can buy sarongs, island dresses (which are very comfortable), beach towels (the ship provides towels to use at the beach), hats, spoons, thimbles, bags, purses, coin purses, magnets, picture frames, paintings, tropical design shirts in gorgeous colors, Venezuelan coffee and chocolate, woven palm frond hats with the swinging leaf to keep the flies off and a huge grasshopper on top, four stringed wooden instruments and maracas, cds of the local artists, mens shorts, an a vast array of other items.
I make checkers and tic tac toe sets using local stones from the beach for my game pieces. People love them.
I need to get busy painting today.
Have a great day!
