July 13:

Our focus is starting to turn to England and cruising on the Trent and Mersey Canals for a week. We have watched the training video on-line and I spoke to someone at the marina to verify our arrival time and find out things like where to buy groceries - the little, but important things.

Even though it was another cloudy, threatening weather day, Linda went walking with Hans and Jose. I stayed behind. Yes, they got rained on, but stood under a tree to wait it out.

Our only picture for this day is Hans' garden with all of his personally-selected rocks.

What a beautiful place to hangout. We have spotted Hans admiring his work.

The rest of the day was spent inside painting, reading, and watching Netflix shows. A very relaxing day.
