There have been a number of things occupying our minds and our time. I can&#8217;t believe that I have gone 16 days without posting. However I am still sick. Fortunately the sore throat is gone. I went to a doctor here on the Isla a week ago and have been on two different types of medications. The meds were to help suppress my constant, painful and irritating coughing. \u00a0My cough is still there although less frequent. I suspect that I have some sort of virus that just won&#8217;t go away. For some reason I have little vitality and need to sit more and even nap a few hours per day which is not usual for me. I wake up tired. It is not Covid as I have done numerous home tests over the past 25 days and am negative.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1891\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1891\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1891\" src=\"https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_4804.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_4804.jpg 640w, https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_4804-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_4804-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_4804-285x215.jpg 285w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1891\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">So many sunsets.

In the middle of this under the weather time something happened to us which has created a huge amount of turmoil and resulting stress for us. It has taken us over 14 days of tension and anxiety to deal with the situation. Suffice to say that there will some changes for us here on the Isla next November, things that we have had to put into motion this past week.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1901\" src=\"https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_4967.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_4967.jpg 640w, https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_4967-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_4967-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1893\" src=\"https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Screen-Shot-2023-02-16-at-2.36.09-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"613\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Screen-Shot-2023-02-16-at-2.36.09-PM.png 613w, https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Screen-Shot-2023-02-16-at-2.36.09-PM-263x300.png 263w, https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Screen-Shot-2023-02-16-at-2.36.09-PM-131x150.png 131w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 613px) 100vw, 613px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1894\" src=\"https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_4975.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"404\" srcset=\"https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_4975.jpg 640w, https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_4975-300x189.jpg 300w, https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_4975-150x95.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1895\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1895\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1895\" src=\"https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_5469.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_5469.jpg 640w, https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_5469-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_5469-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_5469-285x215.jpg 285w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1895\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The fish market just across the main Embarcadero.<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_1897\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1897\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1897\" src=\"https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_5478.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"626\" srcset=\"https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_5478.jpg 640w, https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_5478-300x293.jpg 300w, https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_5478-150x147.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1897\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fresh fish right off the boat.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Our departure day is in two sleeps, meaning we will begin our trek north this Wednesday.

It has been exceptionally dusty ( perhaps my cough is related to this dust ) here this winter with constant fine dust flying because of ATV&#8217;s, horses, tractors and vehicles. We finally did get warmer weather. It actually reached over 84F inside the RV a few times last week.<\/p>\n<p>I have shared a few miscellaneous photos taken this winter.
