We left our hotel shortly before
noon and made our way to the very old and very lovely Public City Garden. We wandered around just enjoying the lovely
day and being out in such a beautiful setting. It is a great place for a picnic or simply
just to take a walk. There is a gazebo
in the centre with lots of seating and during the summer, afternoon concerts
are held every Sunday. 
We moved the car up to
Springarden Road to have stroll amongst the shops there. Although we didn’t have lunch here, had to
take a picture to show you. A little
further on we had a light lunch and then we were on our way to the cemetery where
the greatest number of Titanic passengers are buried.
Shannon and Tom walked among the grave
markers and noticed that although lots of them had names on them, several of
them just had a number. Even though the
passenger list would tell the name of each individual that was lost, I guess
each individual body that was recovered wasn’t absolutely identified. There are 121 markers in the Titanic Grave
Site.
Then the rain started and wow did
it come down in a hurry. Decided to
forego any further exploring and just get to the hotel near the airport. We might even rent a movie this evening. It is nasty outside. We have had so much good luck with the
weather that we won’t complain of some time being inside.
Tomorrow our flight is at 11:00 –
we won’t even have to be up at the crack of dawn for this one!

Eileen's Jazzercise partner Marlene here. I am loving your adventures - especially the cornflakes one!!!
Miss dancing with you, continue having a wonderful time. I really want to visit this area now.
Wow! Walking past a McLobster chance! You truly missed a maritime treat. I have read that it is only eclipsed by McTripe in Britain.
Ronald McD will be disappointed as will Brian D. I really wanted and waited for your opinion!
Rain as you leave is always a good sign that you have seen the best!
