    COMPADRES

    Shadows above me,
    Shadows below;
    Some shadows swift and
    Some shadows slow;
    All of these shadows,
    It’s plain to see,
    Are my compadres—
    Sweet company!

  8. Ballast Point will probably never be on the international, or even the national tourist agenda, but it does look so interesting.

  9. These sturdy wall look like they could have come over from ancient England. They are awesome structures. Your city continues to amaze me with its beauty. Sad I am too old now to make the long trip to visit. I would have really loved that in my days of flying which are sadly now over. Too far for the old back. Genie
