March 1 to 5, 2009, San Carlos

MAR. 1, Sunday, a chili cook-out

The Kirkby’s moved out this morning to Pillar beach. They will be boon-docking for a few days before heading north to Arizona.
We went to a chili cook-out at Los Jitos hotel in the afternoon. We met Joyce and Bill there and had a marvelous time. There were about 12 booths with different chili; some were good and some not so much but I tasted them all. Once this was done, we had to vote as to which one was our favorite and also the best decorated booth. We were there until about 2:30 p.m.
We came home, sat around, snoozed a bit then it was happy hour. A tough life indeed.


MAR. 2, Monday, Cycling

We went cycling to Pillar beach and visited with the Kirkby’s. They are in a neat little spot with 4 other rigs nearby. I am quite surprise at the amount of people out there actually. We then cycled to EL CHEQUE and had a hot dog and bought a beer to wash them down. From here, we cycled to the Best western hotel and checked out their campsites. It is a bit run down but cheaper than TOTONAKA, for sure. We spoke to a couple people there and they had no problems while there and actually had good power and water. Came home in time for a siesta then happy hour with Joyce and Bill, Dan and Jacqueline, another neighbor.


MAR. 3, Tuesday, Pre-Birthdays dinner


Steve dropped by to tell us about tickets being sold for St-Patrick dinner so when he left, I took the propane tank to Lynden while Val went for her TAI-CHI class at CLUB PORTIVO. I also went to the bank and bought tickets for the MARIHACHI BAND and local KID DANCES and also tickets for St-Patrick dinner at CLUB PORTIVO.
In the afternoon, we snoozed and read some more then got ready for our outing to Pillar restaurant at the hotel. They were having a special of two dinner with the second one at half price so everyone decided to take us there. There were about 16 people present. We sat outside on the restaurant patio after a very good dinner consisting of a rack of rib and Shrimps cooked in coconut juice…delicious!
We drove the Kirkby’s out to their site and had a nightcap while there.


MAR. 4, Wednesday, VAL’s BIRTHDAY

A lazy morning then we met Lynden and Charlie at the restaurant at the marina where they bought us lunch. Afterwards, we walked around then came home while L&C went to the LOT to say their goodbyes.
Val and Joyce went for a walk on the beach while I did some paperwork and adjusted the brakes on “Q” Some were really out of adjustment.
At 5 p.m., L&C came over for happy hour and a shower and Joyce and Bill joined us (for happy hour that is). My laptop froze in the evening so I shut it down and will deal with mayana.


MAR. 5, Thursday, MY BIRTHDAY

First thing I did was a diskcheck on the laptop and it froze again so I took it to a local computer shop to have it checked. He couldn’t find anything but did do a couple of little adjustment. I left my other harddrive there as he said he could probably recover my pictures and documents…sure hope so!
We went for a drive to a local fishing village and stopped at SOGGY PESOS for a beer on the way back. This bar is quite neat. It is situated on a beautiful beach on the west side of San Carlos where Club Med also has a resort. It was very windy while we were there yet when we arrived home it was hot and muggy and hardly any wind. Amazing what a couple mountains will do to block mother nature!
We had a drink with Joyce and Bill the after cleaning, we went out for dinner at LOS ARBITOS, a restaurant just outside our gate. We had a very good dinner consisting of MAHI-MAHI fish. We then came home, had a nightcap and went to bed.
