Day of Rest

Apparently the effects of a long drive, followed by a day at Costco, really kick in after a couple of days. So today was limited to finding out where the garbage goes and what the back court looks like (nice). The forecast thunderstorms never materialized.

 The courtyard is pleasantly landscaped with ponds, fountains and bridges.

 As I was saying ...

 This bridge leads to one of several fenced-in pools. More on that below.

Our condo is on the 3rd floor (there are elevators) behind the middle, distant tree.

To enter this recreation area we had to go first through the gate to our pool. I thought I needed a key to open it. As I was trying the lock, a voice from the pool said, "Pas besoin de débarrer la barrière, Monsieur." The few folks in the pool were Québecois. J'ai répondu, "Merci bien!"

 Near one bridge I was approached by a ... a ... creature.

What is it? Half duck half turkey?

Or just a strange duck. I know a few of those.
