Next we went to Sao Francisco de Paula Church which was very theatrical on the inside - reminded me of an opera house more than a church with bulb lighting and private balconies overlooking the altar. I asked and it was built as a Catholic Church!
After visiting the church I walked with Callie ( friend of Scott's visiting for 6 weeks) to a public health clinic to see about getting her a yellow fever vaccination. It was pretty easy, no cost, we waited 10-15 minutes and all she had to show was her passport. Now she is all set for adventure into the Amazon! Good to know, and we got to see another part of the city along the way!
Somedays are just meant to be beach days, to chill with a friend! First, I did an uber run to nearby Costco in the town of Lihue, where I bought us Tommy Bahama backpack beach chairs! Then we were good to go. Kalapaki beach was just a quick 15 minute walk from the Ship. I realized I did the same thing with my Cousin Cathy , back in 2020, when I was here on my first cruise to Hawaii! Today, I spent the afternoon chilling with good buddy Sherrie Cornett.
