January 15 to 19, 2012; San Carlos

JAN  15, Sunday, SC
Rick came over this morning and asked if we wanted to go for breakfast.  We said yes of course and the four of us went to SANTA ROSA, a local restaurant known for good breakfast.  Afterwards, we came home and I read for a while then had a snooze for most of the afternoon, I wasn’t feeling that well and nothing to do with the breakfast!  Being Sunday, football was in so I watched that after I woke up.  Val went for Happy Hour but I stayed in to watch football.  Spaghetti for dinner then a movie and early bed.
This was a cloudy day but still warm.


JAN  16, Monday,
Tai-Chi for Val and one of our neighbours left for the States this morning which opens up our row a bit.  The gang went to the “golf course” in the desert to improve some of the holes and ended up building 4 more making it a nine holes course!  Val and I went for a walk in the beach with Tucker.  He enjoys running without a leash and stopped whenever I whistled which was great.  For dinner, we all went to JAX-KNAX for pizza.  It turned out to be quite good.  We all came home and had a fire.  Another good day gone by and it is still warm out there at 9 pm.


JAN  17, Tuesday, SC
Internet was down again this morning but re-instated later.  This is a daily problem which we have to put up with...life is hell!!! J  IT is going to be another hot one...23*C at 10 am!
The excitement today was going to the golf course to shoot some balls on the range.  Val and I went to a local restaurant and tried out a “Red Bell with carne, rice and fired beans”.  I won’t go back for it but it wasn’t too bad.  Rick and Pat moved on our row, across from us.  I brought his 5th-wheel over as he had his hitch out of his truck.  Happy hour, dinner then a short visit to the fire, I hit the bed by 9 pm


JAN  18, Wednesday, golfing
The power went out this morning around 8 am and didn’t come back on until late in the afternoon.  There is a short in the system and they have everything exposed right now. Val went to Tai-Chi both in the morning and again in the afternoon, there was a special class she wanted to attend.  Afterwards, her and Pat were supposed to meet the girls form the LOT and go to Esmeralda beach and kayak around the point and down to the Greek Restaurant’s beach however she didn’t go because she felt the wind was too strong and I think she was tired too.  I went golfing with Leo, Lynden and Pat (before the kayak trip).  I had a fair game considering it’s been a year since I last played.  Lynden made a hole in one and a birdie on a par 5.  Pretty good!  Happy hour was short, dinner then a fire which only lasted an hour before everyone went in.
Got more propane this morning!  Seems to burn faster!???


JAN  19, Thursday, grocery shopping
We went groceries shopping today.  First we stopped at TONY for vegetables, chilli renello, and some meats then on to Santa Rosa for more stuff.  After that, we drove to Guaymas to Walmart for whatever was left to pick up.  At home, I made cerviche scallops which consist of raw scallops cut thinly, red onions, hot sauce, soya sauce, hot sauce, pepper, covered with squeezed juice from lime and lemon, mix the whole thing then let the whole thing sit for about 10-15 minutes and serve.  It has to be eaten with a half hour or the scallop overcook and become hard.  It is quite delicious if you like cerviche (mixture lime and lemon).  I served it for Happy hour and got mix reviews.  Some liked it some not.  I took some to Paulette and George who introduce me to it and said that they liked mine.  (Being nice???? :-) )  Anyway, we finished it all.  Billy and Tammy from the LOT showed up and joined us for Happy Hour; they are invited to Pat and Rick for dinner.
