Kirk and I walked about 6 miles and enjoyed the gorgeous weather. We walked to the embassy where Kirk had tennis lessons and I walked around the Ambassador's compound, enjoying the gardens and the view of the Mediterranean. There is a walking path around the perimeter and it is very hilly so it was a great workout. 3 laps = 1 mile so I did 9 laps while Kirk practiced his tennis. The wisteria is in full bloom and so are many of the other flowers in the landscape. It smelled fabulous and I just enjoyed the sun and fresh air.
We stopped at a new market on the way home, picked up some groceries and walked home. Once we were home, we donned our summer gear and went out to clean the patio furniture so we could soak up some sun! Here is the view from my lounge chair:
We got some much needed down time and some color to our winter white skin. Here are a couple more photos of our patio and pool area. The pool is much too cold to get in yet, but it will be nice when the temps climb towards 100!
There is a park in our backyard (hence the name Parkview for our building). Here are a couple of shots of the alley behind our house and the park from our patio.
The building below is on the other side of the park. Think we are being monitored? :)
