As
my last day in Tampa draws to an end I feel that I must find the good
about Americans and their beloved country! I thus set out today on a
positive note! I went walking to find the good, to remain unbiased and
without drawing on the constant negative that seems to haunt my
footsteps whichever which way I turn!
Tampa is a nice place. It
is an orderly city of blocks and buildings, it has a lovely river walk
that meanders gently around the created islands ..........
Och, I can't do this! I can't tell porky-pies!
Certainly,
Tampa is a nice place but when I went walking, on a Sunday at 11am I
was astounded! The parks, the lovely river walk and the town were
devoid of the one required ingredient - I was the only person out and
about! The only areas that could boast activity was a smaller park
where the homeless obviously congregated to swap sob stories and the
Tampa General Hospital. I got lost and ended up wandering though the
middle of the hospital to find the place overcrowded with shuffling and
sniffing two-legged weirdos.
I
came across the above notice as scuttled away from the hospital. In
fact it was positioned directly outside a main entrance as if it was
trying to divert attention away from the self-created sniffling going
on inside - just before one enters the lions den. It seems that this
notice refers to a building project half a mile away but why was it
there - a joke perhaps?
Right! Enough said!
As I prepare to leave Tampa, hopefully to pastures new I leave some comments to those living here!
1. Don't east so much! The burger that I had today was dribbling potential fat over the edge of the dinner plate! 2.
Park the car and go for a little walk! Just try it - its actually quite
nice to do. But take it one step at a time as it may come as a shock to
the body! 3. Stop talking so much and listen! Not everybody is an expert about everything you know! 4.
Last but not least learn something! There is more to Scotland than the
"McNeil" clan, Scotland isn't a suburb of London and yes, people do
wear trousers in Edinburgh!
Tomorrow I go to Freeport - not the one in the Bahamas but that one in Texas!
