356
We were unable to see
any sign of the baby birds today. They were far from old enough to fledge when
we left – they did not even have any real feathers yet, and those beaks were
still larger than the rest of their heads! It would seem that they have all
fallen out of the nest. This must be a real blow to the parents. I saw one of
the parents sitting on the drying rack outside the window across the airshaft
just before dusk.
When we went to the
market today, we told two or three of our favorite vendors – those who are our
“friends” – that we will be leaving next week and shook hands. One vendor, the
fruit, nut and olive vendor, told us to come on Saturday and he would have a
gift for us. This is totally unexpected! All I really wanted to do is thank
them for their kindness and courtesy over these past 10 months.
