Finally, a nice relaxing Saturday...

Well, relaxing in the fact that we didn't have any plans, or anything pressing that needed to be completed. Annoying and not relaxing in the fact that the construction outside of our place continues daily from 06:30 until shortly after 22:00, the noise from the site is quite annoying and makes it impossible to enjoy sleeping in...

Construction - Week 5

This is a quick photo of week 5, and other then having a few holes it does not appear that any great progress has been made. We can only hope that this stage is nearing completion and that soon the work that they are doing will be somewhat quieter...

So, awoken early on a Saturday we do what we always enjoy doing - walk through the markets. Actually we had to head over to the local police station so that Tina can get some new passport photos, they are the only place that will meet Canada's strict passport photo requirements, but the market was between our place and the station so we took advantage of it...

Crowds at the market

Of course we forgot that it is a holiday weekend, so the station was closed and we will have to try again next weekend. The markets were full and Tina had to push her way in to one of her favorite stalls so that she could buy some oranges.

The rest of the afternoon was relaxing, just wandering the streets, the alleys, the park, and around the lake. It is so nice that the weather has finally broken and has started to warm up.

Street cleaning.
