Day -1 Part 2- The BBQ

The scenic route to the next event, a BBQ at Dave and Sue’s in Whitford took us out to the beaches on the east coast.

    Because we had not followed the directions correctly, we were about the last to arrive at a most wonderful house.

Were we ever surprised when Evan showed up at the party. We new Evan from the Morgan Club in Northern CA, and Evan had married a Kiwi in 1999 and moved to New Zealand. It was wonderful to see him, but we were sad that his wife, Trish, wasn’t with him.

There were a lot of Morgan Club of New Zealand members also at this party.  Sue and Dave had put together a wonderful  BBQ of lamb, salads and other delights.  We really appreciated their hospitality.

 Having missed driving to Mission Bay on the previous day, Philip and I drove back to our hotel up the coast, seeing what others had seen the previous day.

The day was overcast, with a few sprinkles to start out, but the temperature was comfortable without a sweater.

Patsy had a rough day, not feeling too well, and trying to do too much. My right hip hurts when I walk, which is most upsetting to me, but I am coping.  My back surgery got rid of left sciatica, and I had NO right sciatica at all. Now I developed the right sciatica from walking, which is the exercise I was instructed to do. I hope it gets better soon.
