Wandering the Town - 5/28

Port Washington Beach

In the first few days we've wandered the town. Terry puts time in working and joined a gym which, of course, I didn't so I have more time available to wander. The beach looked as I remembered, but the red signs advising you to stay out of the disease-ridden water were gone. The new sign simply implied going in the water could infect you with various illnesses, but it's your call. I suspect the new signs are more about the water being cold than any water quality improvement and the red signs will likely return with the heat. The beach was deserted except for two girls starting their summer tan. They were the whitest girls I've ever seen. If they happened to glance my way, I'm sure they made the same observation about me. 

Port Washington Baseball

All the area small towns field their own baseball team, so we watched the Port Washington Lakers take on the West Bend Benders Wednesday night. My son's teams in junior high drew more fans. We enjoyed the game but left midway through the fifth inning since the temperature was cooling rapidly and we also didn't want to walk home in complete darkness.

Tello's

In starting my research on the best happy hours, lunch specials, etc. I found Tello's, the Mexican/Greek restaurant and bar diagonally across the street from our apartment, has $3 martinis for ladies on Thursday nights so we went for drinks and dinner. This will be the "go to" place to get Terry liquored up cheap on Thursday nights. Judging by the crowd many people had the same idea.

Charter Fishing Boats

Beyond that we walked to the usual suspects of the marina, the lighthouse, the end of the breakwater, the old Catholic church, and all through town. With Memorial Day weekend the community events in the area start in earnest. I don't know if I can handle the excitement.
