FEB. 23, Monday, routine in San Carlos
We had a lazy morning. I got drinking water for 24 pesos for two 5 gallon jugs, Val did some laundry then we went to town to buy some potatoes and vegetables and milk. We met Lynden at FROGGY’s for a beer while he was having lunch; Charlie is still not feeling good and is sleeping. We came home and Val made scallop potatoes for tonight. I had a little snooze then we went to “the LOT” for dinner and celebrated Cathy’s birthday. Lynden was there but Charlie stayed home as she still having the flue, poor girl! The lot looks really good now. There are a lot of flowers, new little trees and they’ve built canopies over their rigs and made stone walkway. I will have to take some pictures.
We came home around 9 p.m. and went to bed almost right away.
FEB. 24, Tuesday, San Carlos
We got up late this morning, another lazy day! We took a drive into town and stopped at JJ for a couple tacos and beer.
In the afternoon, Lynden, Craig, Larry and I went golfing. The cost has gone up. $29 US so won’t be doing this often. The guys did 18 holes but I only did 9 as my knee was acting up.
I was sitting under the shade at our rig when this lady walked up and asked me if I was Claude from CLAUVAL. I said yes and she said that she had seen our BLOG and wanted to ask some questions about our trip south so we had a nice chat about it all. What a pleasant surprise it was! It’s so neat when total strangers come up and say they’ve read our BLOG; makes me feel good and makes it worthwhile to know it’s being useful to some.
It was hot today and into the evening too.
FEB. 25, Wednesday, San Carlos
Val did more laundry then we went to the LOT to pick up our dishes we had left there the other night but first, we stopped at RICO for a hot dog. He is finally open after being close for a week…he was on holidays
I picked up beer and milk, the essential of life then we had happy hour with Joyce and Bill and the Kirkby’s.
It was another hot day; nearly 30*C (90*F) and the evening was very pleasant so we sat out until late
FEB 26, Thursday,
Another quiet day in San Carlos! It wasn’t as hot as yesterday as we had a bit of a breeze today. I tried the internet and it is working very sporadically so I gave up. Even at the office, it wouldn’t work properly. Val decided to do a major clean up so I took the fan screen covers off and washed those and the fan blades. They were filthy from the dust and fine sand.
In the afternoon, we all went to meet the “LOT” gang at Miramar and watched the sunset while having Happy Hour. Came home, had dinner, tried to make some phone calls but the internet wouldn’t work so we gave up and went to bed after watching Survivor.
FEB 27, Friday library day
We went to the library at 9 a.m. and I picked up a couple books and Val 3 more. We came home and were going to leave when Dennis walked by and told me about this RV seminar happening at the Palapa so I went over to listen. The guy was really good; his name was Garry from the “Whisperer RV”, a company from Oregon. Anyway, I did learn a few new things which are always good then it was lunch time so we went to RICO for a hot dog. Craig was supposed to meet us there at 12:30 but he never showed up…probably forgot!? From here we went to Guaymas to shop for groceries at SORIANA and the LEY, came home and put everything away. Dennis, Joyce and Bill came over for Happy Hour and the Kirkby’s joined us later.
We had dinner and since the internet was working, we called the kids but being Friday evening, everyone was away except Joanne whom we spoke to for a while but then got cut off. We tried a couple time to no avail so gave up. MEXICO!! We watched a bit of TV then it was bedtime
FEB. 28, Saturday, San Carlos
Last day of the month and it is cloudy this morning but will clear up later. We paid for a month’s rent (33 days) which takes us to April 2 @ 6500 pesos. Pretty expensive especially since it’s calculated on the US dollar! Anyway, we went into town to get some beer and money then drove to the local community clubhouse to check out on TAI-CHI for Val. They have classes twice a week. When we left, we noticed that people we met a few years back were home which we could see from the club so we went over to say hello. We had a short visit as they had just arrived and were in the process of unpacking. We drove up the road and met another couple whom we knew and they invited us over their house for a beer. Theirs was small but open and very nicely decorated. She had made bread that morning so insisted on making us a sandwich which was delicious.
We came home and read for a while then drove to the LOT to have happy hour with the gang. Came home around 7 p.m. and had dinner. Another good day in Paradise!
