MAR. 11, Wednesday, San Carlos
I made a few phone calls including one to BD Diesel in BC and got some numbers for Arizona. I called one in Phoenix and they wanted $120. US per hour so I called Tucson and they said $70 so guess which one I am going with. They want me to call back about a week before I come up.
We went for a bike ride into town and cycled around. We found Wayne and Glenda’s place but they weren’t home.
Later in the afternoon we went to the lot for happy hour. Joyce and Bill, Al and Brenda also came. We had a good time of course and came home around 6:30 p.m.
MAR. 12, Thursday, Kayak day??
The four of us loaded up to go kayaking and drove to Esmeralda Beach but the wind was blowing like crazy so we drove to SHANGRI-LA and found the same there so we decided to come home then went for a hot dog at EL CHEQUE to feed our disappointment!
The rest of the day was spent reading and visiting
MAR 13, Friday, Routine, routine!
Val went for TAI-CHI lesson and I attended another RV Seminar at the Palapa. Afterwards, we went to the lot for a few minutes then went to POPEYE for a hamburger. We had heard it was the best place for that. Although they were good and cheap, I had tasted better but we would go back as the price is right.
Joe and Luis, a Mexican welder who did work on Lynden boat rack, showed up and I got him to take measurement to make a suspended shelve in the basement. He took all the measurement and said he would be back MAYANA. I also asked him about making a drawer for my batteries but due to the tightness in the compartment, he doesn’t think it’s possible.
We had happy hour at Al & Brenda then went for dinner. In the evening we had a fire and Brenda served everyone a raspberry cheese cake. DELICOUS!
MAR. 14, Saturday, San Carlos
Sunny but very cool today! Had to wear a jacket this morning. Luis showed up and quoted me $55 US to build a suspended rack for the basement so I gave him the go ahead.
We went down the road where a guy from Chihuahua was setting up his wares in an empty parking lot. He had all kinds of things such as pots, mirrors, baskets and trinkets. He sold a lot while we were there and Val bought a dish, of course. He’s going to be around for the next two days.
At noon, Joyce, Bill and we went to the Ranchitos School for Carne Asada lunch and Mexican dancing provided by local kids and teenagers. I took lots of pictures of course as some were so darned cute with their outfit on. They represented different dances from different States. It was a success and lots of people attended. This is a fund raising event for the local school as they don’t get much money from the government.
Cathy and Craig came over for a visit in the afternoon. A lot of people are packing to leave tomorrow. The place is getting emptier and emptier. Now we get mainly people coming from the south, staying one or two night then heading north.
MAR. 15, Sunday, beach day
We went to the beach with Brenda and Al and spent a couple hours there. We then had a two hours Happy Hour as they are leaving tomorrow. Val cooked chili for dinner then we had Al and Brenda over for ice cream and strawberries that we bought this afternoon.
Later, we made phone calls to Audrey and Marcel and finally got hold of them. We had a nice chat.
MAR. 16, Monday, New rack installed in basement
Al and Brenda left around 9 a.m. Luis, the welder, came over to install the suspended rack in the basement. He did a very good job for $55. US. Later in the morning, I went to pick up my bike but it was closed so we stopped at JACK SNAX for a hamburger
Dennis came over for a visit in the afternoon then we all went over to his place for Happy Hour as Linda, Marilyn’s friend, is leaving tomorrow.
MAR. 17, Tuesday, Happy St-Patrick’s Day
We went to the Lot for a visit but they were having their annual meeting so we didn’t stay and came home. Tried to pick up mybike throughout the day with NO success.
I got propane for the rig and our small tank filled too, all for 168 pesos (approx 14$cdn)
At 4;15 we went to CLUB PORTIVO for the annual St-Patrick’s dinner. The gang from the lot were already there and so was Wayne and Glenda. We had a marvelous dinner consisting of cooked cabbage, corned beef, carrots, boiled potato and a salad and dessert. Beer and wine was only 15 pesos so cheap.
We came home with full stomach and visited with Joyce and Bill for a while.
