Walking toward the old city, “This part of the city was once occupied by the Romans. There are remnants of the old fort they built and remnants of a religious building that was dedicated to the Emperor Augustus. There is a museum and part of a road which is now underground.” “Are we going to that church?” “What do you think? That girl was about your age. Let me think about it.” The boys quickly identified the columns in my mural at the club. “Dad, is this where you got the idea of

Grandpa needs a kick in the pants. His perceived pride stands in the way. He has taken the guys out fishing, it was successful, he made money, what will it take for him to realize there was a business opportunity.
-
Yep. The question will be the size of the boat
-
Grandfather could except not many people will want to buy a whole tuna. if he cuts it up, he will have a lot of unsold pieces, It wasn't until Armand introduced the tuna to the hotel chef that a possible customer was created. Delivery would be a problem. The guys brought Marko in to buy the lobster and some shrimp. I'm sure you know people that would rather cut off their nose than to admit they were wrong.

There are times when my computer thinks it knows more than me. This one pf those times, Alexander was the computer insisting I was spelling Alesander wrong. I thought I corrected them all, obvious I overlooked one.
-
Yes, I think you are right. The question is size of the boat. I don't think Grandfather will change. When he has money for fuel he will go out. He won't get a lot of money from large tuna, but he will make money selling lobster and shrimp. That will be done by Alesander
-
One thing I have learned, it is very difficult for an old man to change his ways. Grandfather lives on his boat, he catches crab for bait but also for food. He has a reputation and for him it is something to be proud of. How many men die of starvation rather than to say they are wrong.The hotel will buy the large tuna, but it needs to be delivered.
-
Alexander is Alesander. I thought I caught all of those errors but I evidently missed one. Sometimes my computer tries to help. It knows my spelling isn't the best. Colin will get a boat and don't be surprised if he spends the summer on it.

I never knew that chef's did that. I have seen people do that in restaurants. I think as a patron of a restaurant that type of guests are disrespectful to the chef. To think they would be served something that needed to be analyzed before tasting and enjoying. I trust the chef and the food served or I wouldn't eat there again.

Morning came and so did the boys. You would have thought this was the first time they had gone fishing. I wonder how they acted when Colin took the boys and those from the orphanage fishing. “Did the boys act this excited when you took them fishing at home?” “No, but I think they are excited here because of the captain and they have the opportunity of catching some big fish. I didn’t use the traps that Grandfather is using. We weren’t after shrimp or lobster. The next time I take the boys o

I share his love for paella and it is a simple rice dish, 😀
-
Yep, you have remember correctly only Armand doesn't know. I told him to read my stories but he insisted he'll wait until I have finished.
-
Considering the emotional background of these young men, the sensitivity of Colin and Armand, the boys will become leaders with a caring heart.
-
You are right and they have a short time to respond
-
I can understand the school board position when faced with the boys and girls from the orphanage. For a small country school that could be frightening. The school board has the responsibility to provide for those children, they are going to need help.
-
I'm not sure about the boys wanting their own rooms. I think someone was thinking when the boys were approaching an age when they wanted to be more independent
-
Thanks to all of my readers. I'll accept that as an early Christmas gift.
-
I can hire you for an interpreter of my incomplete developed stories. the kind of guy who reads between the lines. I'm kidding of course. Frankly, I'm proud of my readers, they add to my stories. "GG, look after them but don't scare the hell out of them when you contact them.

The question - will they walk the same path
-
The morning came with a bed full of sleeping boys. Colin was awake, “Why did we book a room for these boys?” “I think they enjoy this as much as we do. Soon they will be to old for this.” “They are too old now. The youngest is 12 and before going home he’ll be 13. Ronny will be 14 as soon as we get home and the other two are 13.” “This will end when we get to Italy.” I wasn’t sure I wanted it to end but I also realized the boys are getting older and soon they will be asking f

You are right, can he persuade his grandfather to change his view on fishing? If not, and he can get the other fishermen to cooperate, he still can make a successful business
-
Family is important to Armand. Being an only child, he enjoys the boys. I wonder if he wishes he had a brother or sister.
-
He does have that trait. But notice Alesander must also want to be helped. There are people who are willing to help someone as long as that person is willing to pitch in. A hint, Alesander will find he will get all the help he needs if he is willing to work.

Grandfather could make money by giving the people what they want. Other fishermen make money by selling shrimp, lobster and small fish. Grandfathers ego prevents him from making a living
-
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoy my stories. There are a few more chapters to go. We must see how the new orphanage turns out.
