New Camera

Saturday 9/30/06
I've been wanting to get a small camera that I can carry around with me to have when a photo op presents itself. So today we went back to the camera store where I got the camera for John last April (that's an entire other story if you haven't already heard it). I got advise on a camera from our photo expert, Sue & got the one she suggested. It cost about the same as she said her's did from a photo store in NYC. So no bargains, but I'd rather have a place I can go back to if I have problems. It isn't too far from our house & when I reminded him about having purchased a camera before from him, he did knock something off the price. John got a few things as well, so everyone was happy.
My point in all of this is that I'm hoping to now be able to post photos to the blog. I think John's camera created photo files that were too large for the blog to handle. So I think it worked. This is a photo looking down out of the bedroom window. That's a church, I'm not sure what denomination, but I'll find out. The b-ball court is the girl's school next door & then the playground (our busstop home is at the playground). The other morning I had the windows open & could hear the choir & organ from the church. It was really nice. Weather is still pretty hot, but a few nice days with lower humidity.
This should be a good weekend as tomorrow is a holiday - Oct. 1 is National Day (it's like our 4th of July). There are flag raising ceremonies & fireworks over the harbor. Monday everything is closed & John gave us all the day off. We are hoping for good weather so we can finally go hiking.
Last night we went out for pizza & beer. It's my 2nd try of pizza here & I'm not too impressed. It isn't like Fuel Pizza in Davidson. The crust is kind of flaky & not that nice thin chewy crust I like. Guess I"ll have to start making my own. John is off getting a massage. He is testing out a local place. It's only about $30 for an hours, so if it's good, well you know where we'll be spending some time!! They are big on reflexology (foot massage & healing). There are places on your feet that connect up to parts of your body - like the top of the big toe is for your brain (something like that). So they are supposed to be able to help fix parts of your body by massaging certain places on your feet. Whatever - it's a foot massage so it's all good!!
