How to fill time in retirement

My book list is up to 195 books and I have now completed 25 from the list. I thought I would read more during this pandemic, but I am finding that I am reading about the same.

Others I went through again but  more quickly than I had the first time. In reality, to see everything, two or three days might be needed. I think they have multi-day passes...(a multi-pass from Fifth Element) Stopping for Lunch Since I was getting hungry with all this walking I decided to stop at the Cafe for some lunch and a drink. I passed the Prentis house which I did not visit. The Weathervane Cafe was in my sights and there was no one there. This place has a large variety of food and drink with many tables inside. I did not make use of the "lactation station" (its on the map) but I did visit the men's room which was very
