JAN 10, Monday, Sunny & warm
I took our laundry to a local Laundromat and had the Mexican do it for us (it’s cheaper this way); picked it up at four, all folded and pressed. Everyone did their own thing today; we went to find the location of a vet for Tucker’s haircut, a recommendation we got from someone in our park. We did find it and made an appointment for tomorrow morning. On the way back we stopped along the malecon for a bite to eat and a cerveza then came home. Happy hour at 4:30, dinner then we sat outside with Brenda & Al by the fire for a couple of hours. Erick came by and fixed my outside light. He also advised me that it would be best if I bought a converter then claimed the cost later as it would take too long for the way he was thing. So...back to the internet and I found an Intelli-Power 9260 C with a built in wizard and ordered it from the States.
Happy hour at Al & Brenda until it got too cold to stay out. It’s amazing how cold it gets in the early evening, especially since we are in the sub-tropics. It got down to 45*F (8*C) overnight!
JAN 11, Tuesday, Mazatlan
Sunny and warm, I took Tucker to the Vet so that he could get his haircut. I picked him up at 1 pm then the six of us took the bus to the Golden Zone and walked the streets and shopped and looked around. I don’t know what is going on with me but once again, I left my sweater on the bus and didn’t realize it until about 20 minutes later!???? Am I getting Alzheimer? Anyway, I ended up buying another light jacket and a pair of shorts.
We stopped at “Bing”, a little ice cream and burger place and had a bit to eat there. We walked more afterwards then, as it was getting dark, we hopped on the bus and returned home. A good day overall!
JAN 12, Wednesday, Veterinarian
I bought a new converter from E-Bay and had it shipped to a friend of Manny in Oregon. He is leaving in two weeks and coming down here so he will leave it in Totonaka RV Park in San Carlos where I will have it installed. I also called the vet about Tucker as he seems to be getting worse. We took him there and the Vet said there wasn’t anything wrong that he could see but he sure yelps when we touched the pad on his paw. Anyway, we brought him back home, put some medicated ointment on it and wrapped it up. He just won’t walk on it!??
The gang had gone to the beach while we were gone but came back early as it was too windy. We had an early Happy Hour and came in early.
JAN 13, Thursday, home
This was a very quiet day! Everyone stayed home and did their own thing. I read a lot, answered a few e-mails and Val decided that we should have Lasagne tonight with the gang.
We set up in front of Al & Brenda’s place, lit both fire buddies and had a good dinner with desert made by Brenda. Afterwards, we had a wood fire behind our places and called it quit around 10 pm
JAN 14, Friday, shopping
After a lazy morning, D& L and we went into town for shopping at LEY’s, WALMART, and MEGA. Got a bunch of groceries and stopped for lunch along the Melacon. We came home in time for Happy Hour with Al & Brenda. We had a surprise visit today! John, our single, stranded, neighbour in San Carlos showed up late in the morning. He still has not had his van fixed; as a matter of fact, he gave it away after selling the tires.
JAN 15, Saturday, Foggy and cooler
We got up this morning to fix as thick as soup. The sun did come out but until later in the afternoon. Everyone stayed in their casa and did their own thing. Finally around 2 pm, it was cleared up enough that we all got on a bus and went into the Gold Zone to do more walking, shopping and sightseeing. I ended up buying 2 t-shirts and a very nice shirt, all for $20.
We had dinner at a very nice restaurant by the beach and watched the sunset. The restaurant gave us each a shot of tequila that we had to down then the girls wanted more so we accommodated. There was a bachelorette party also going on and as you know Val, she went over and found out who the bride to be was and her name, then both her and Louise went and had a fun dance with them. We walked back and stopped at “Tres Amigos” where we had another drink and tequila for the girls. Brenda and Louise were not feeling any pain.
We took a “pulmonia”(small open taxi) back to our sight and listen to the girls hoot and howler all the way back. Fun was had by all!
By the way, all is well with Tucker...he is now walking on his 4 legs with no limping! Posted more pictures in folder #70
