It was my day off yesterday. I went to town. First to get a latte and then to find a sketching place. It was about noon so I looked for shade! I was headed to Fisherman's Park when I saw a big tractor being parked and a lovely big oak tree to shade my car. I was intent on the back hoe/tractor and trailer and didn't put in the stop sign. That would have added color. The guys parked and walked toward downtown a couple of blocks away for lunch I guess. It was gone when I came back later.
For Scavenger Hunt 171 https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-171-sep-23-oct-05.8279/
From there I headed on down to the park and went under the pavilion. Not anyone around but the grackles and squirrels. Mess all over the tables and unpleasant so I didn't stay long. From there I sought a place where I could have a snack and sketch. The Guadalajara came to mind. They are always so nice there. Sort of like "everybody knows your name" as they greet you like they know you. You get multiple waiters and it reminds me of South America.
Number 7 - part of your breakfast, subbing my lunch snack of guacamole, salsa, chips and a margarita. In the same sketchbook, a full page.
It was interesting. There were two couples across the room and not anyone else in sight but other diners in booths and tables behind me. As the couples left, they stopped by to tell me that they saw me eating alone so bought my lunch. Guess they felt sorry for the "old" lady. Ha. Anyway, it was nice. I bought a flan to bring home to share with Gene and give a bit more tip to the staff.
So it was a good day out and Gene and his caretaker, Virginia, did well.
