Gentle Exercise

This morning it was back to our usual wake up time, early breakfast once a week is enough! After breakfast I went and joined the Brit couple we had met earlier to learn the finer points of lawn bowling. Only problem was, there are no lawns around here smooth enough to play, however there is a large expanse of flat(ish) green carpet in the recreation room. Having played once before in Portugal it was interesting to try the game again. Two hours later I was still playing, so it wasn’t too strenuous for me!

After lunch we decided to explore the delights of historical Lake Wales. Unlike Brunswick, this was a much cleaner and inviting area, there were many interesting designs of buildings, and many had amazing murals painted on the sides.

After the Historical area we headed off to spook hill. This is one of those hills that go the wrong way, like magnetic hill. The illusion was pretty good, it looked as you were facing down hill, but in fact the truck rolled backwards.

We rounded off the afternoon with a(nother) trip to the fabric store, followed by a trip to Lowes for some tiles to put around the bathroom sink. On the way to Lowes we stopped off at the Lake of Lake Wales where there the usual beware of the ‘gators warning in the middle of the lawn.
