8/24 Saturday
We
need another day at the beach, pretty much a repeat of the others, yet every
time, the sea is new. Today we have soft, rolling crests with very little surf.
Not so dramatic, but highly enjoyable. I can see schools of small fish all
round us in the water. We wonder why we don’t see anyone seriously fishing,
just a few tourists on the jetties throwing a line into the sea. There are
hundreds of small fishing boats that go out, so maybe none of the local people
care to fish for fun. It’s also odd that there are just a handful of leisure
boats or sailboats in the harbor, and none out on the water on a gorgeous
weekend afternoon.
We
stop on the way home to buy a watermelon from the old man on our street. On
every journey from Croatia to Bulgaria, we’ve been passing fruit stands full of
watermelon. In some towns we’d see a wagon full of melons at every block. And
yet we have had none! This must end; we are having some melon before we leave
this land!
We
go once more to our local restaurant for grilled fish for dinner. Tonight, the
local kids are having a feud, one has done something Very Wrong, and another
boy is furious. He grabs the kid and gives him four or five good smacks in the
head. Problem solved, they all continue their street games.
In
the town, the music festival is still on. We stop to enjoy the blind young lady
again, and several others, mostly young people, all talented. The stage has an
incredible sound system, and all the music comes across beautifully. The
evening is pleasantly cool, with the waning moon coming up over the sea.
