Wonderful evening with wonderful friends

Read about the hurricane barrier in New Bedford and the walk along the water so…

Said to be the largest hurricane barrier on the east coast. We had no awareness of it. It ends at a US government barrier looking like a swinging version of the Thames barrier

And then we run into something that at first glance looks like a propane factory, but clearly is not

Had to ask the locals about this

Apparently, the parts are floated here by barge and then will be assembled into windmills perhaps in the bay. There is a potential large wind farm that is controversial in Rhode Island due to the power all going to Massachusetts, but the cables would run through Seekonset Bay in Rhode Island. We saw several demonstrations at Island Park a few years back.

A local told us about Fairhaven’s “cute” downtown. We did find a lovely find downtown as one of the locals told us about but some interesting architecture, but there seems to be no shops, services or people.

Did not find much else in Fair-haven, however , locals to this area may disagree.

Legion of honor exhibit. A lot of fun and interesting intersection of art and art history.

Test

Lovely, paella, dinner, champagne, Albarino, wine, Rioja wine, Simon and Narit and a fine orange cake

Day starts with brunch with Kathy and Rick

They brought some starters

Special Stradivarius violin and guitar exhibit at the MIM. Many explanatory videos which included musicians playing some of the extraordinary instruments.



Formal afternoon tea

Short walk with wildlife

Some lights

Another lovely dinner and lovely evening. All the dishes were perfectly prepared; variety: kimchee pork ribs, salmon, turkey, perfect veggies. A cheerful meal with friends. Does not get much better.

Mary cassatt exhibit. Not to my liking. Excellent art, of course, but too much mother and child, repetitive. Outstanding drypoint explained onthe was board

Above were some non- mother and children.

Art in the theater exhibition. Excellent. Books and drawings for fans.

Stir fry of carcass. Cabbage soup in background made from second carcass
