Sometimes it's nice to have a leisurely morning.  That's what we did. It was a cloudy rainy morning and we knew weren't going to see much of the eclipse, so we didn't hurry. We met Michelle and Shari at Keshi at 10:00. This is a little fetish shop that Michelle loves.  Kay wanted to find out what her spirit animal is and Michelle thought that the Keshi ladies could help with that.  Kay walked around the shop looking at different animals and waiting for one to "call" to her.  Finally Mary, the clerk, had her do the card game. Kay drew a snake and Mary said it was a strong spirit.  It represented renewal, shedding the old and moving towards the new. That was really spooky because Kay just retired and is moving forward into a new phase of her life!  Goosebumps! Then Kay found a really unique snake fetish that called to her.  She also bought an Effie necklace and ring, which have the serpent design. Just for a little extra luck she bought a small pocket snake.  Pops found a stone bear carving that he liked and the artist, Salvador Romero, happened to come in while we there.  We got to meet him and have our picture taken with him.

 Shari found a stunning Bear fetish with an owl on it.  Wow, strong spirits singing! I wonder if it had anything to do with the eclipse.
After Keshi, we went to the famous Cafe Pasquale for lunch.  Everyone had great choices and we watched the day darken somewhat as the eclipse happened.  It was disappointing because you could hardly tell any difference. Too cloudy.

Later, we walked around the Plaza for awhile and then left for Michelle's house.  We were having a dinner party that evening and we had to get things going for that. We had a delicious dinner of fajitas and wine.  Shari had made a strawberry cake and we ate it with ice cream!  Ahhhh, the good life!
