Annapolis Royal Farmer's Market / Adventure Caravans Day 21

On our last day in Annapolis Royal we went to the farmer's market which was delightful. It is comparable to the ones in Ann Arbor Michigan and Aspen Colorado, both of which appeared in previous blogsThere was a nice mix of farm products, cut flowers, baked goods, clothing , craft items, and works of art. 

A handmade and hand-painted garden bench was for sale.

This fine bespeckled gentleman with pigtails sold me a tie-dyed shirt.

With a name like "Sissiboo" this coffee has to be good.

Debbie got this hand made scarf from this woman.

All of the contestants had a teddy bear.

And the winner is...

As usual, Rosie gets the love from the pretty girls while I just get to take the pictures.

Such a nice place for a view.

The area around the farmer's market was heavy with traffic.

Some of the residents of Annapolis Royal dress funny.

Colorado Mountain High, Redux

We have now been in Basalt Colorado for over a week and will be here another 4-5 days. I must say it has been splendid.

Our first Saturday here we went to the farmer's market in Aspen. It was about 6 or 7 city blocks long of produce, baked goods and crafts. Right next to it was an Art Fair but that is not held every Saturday.
On Sundays a similar but smaller farmer's market is held in Basalt.

Roy and Lee Goetring, photographers, were exhibiting at the Art Fair.
They were also our neighbors at the RV park.

Look at these colorful refinished bicycles

Priced from about $650 to $1995

On Sunday afternoon we took the gondola to the top of Ajax mountain for a horn concert. At that place I felt, for the first time,  that I was doing what I set out to do, that this was the enjoyment I had been seeking, that I was in love with Debbie and the world, that everything was good. I am so thankful for everything.

A family has its' picture snapped with the symbol of the Olympics which started that day.

There is a deep valley between the foreground and the mountain in the back

People gathered here to listen to the concert.

Debbie and I were so happy to be on this peak physically and  emotionally.

And here are some statistics up to now:

   Odometer:  91538 miles

   This trip: 3040 miles

   Fuel used:  232.6 gallons

   Average MPG:  13.1

I know I am falling behind on our travelogue. Where does the time go?

Love you all,

Frank
