Windsday
One blustery, northern day we got to see a really neat old lighthouse. It was, of course, right by the water. It was too cold and windy to go walk on the beach, so we just enjoyed the view of the water from the lighthouse.
Being the history buff that I am, Mr. Penguin had to read the signs so he could learn about the lighthouse.
Near the lighthouse was a log cabin and more signs for me to read.
We decided to walk over the the log cabin to get a better look at it. I have never seen a log cabin before, so I peeked in the window to peep things out.
All of a sudden I heard happy shrieks behind me. There were some children around smiling and shouting, “El penguino!” Now I don’t know much about other languages but I assume they were talking about me; Mr. Penguin makes fans wherever he goes.
We walked back toward to lighthouse to pose for some pictures.
The wind was so strong and my lady friend was beginning to regret her choice of clothing that day.
Let me demonstrate for you just how gusty the wind was. Notice the arbor in the picture below.
Well, I went over to pose on it...
...before I knew what was happening a blast of wind came up and the next thing I know is that I'm hanging onto the lattice for dear life:
I decided right then and there that it was time for me to get out of there. I hurried back to the safety of the car. Mr. Penguin is too priceless to risk being blown away.
