February 10 to 13, 2011; San Carlos

FEB 10, Thursday, San Carlos
Our first day back in San Carlos and busy, busy, busy! Our friends, Joyce and Bill, are here so we had a nice visit with them last evening. Val and Louise went for Tai-Chi this morning then it was laundry day, set up the satellite, put up a few ornaments and just organized the site. Of course, Tucker had to go smell his old spots and see if everything was as it was. There are a lot more people here now, almost full! We have a date for a haircut later in the afternoon and happy hour at the lot. I also uploaded my pictures which were overdue because of our lack of connection in Alamos. It is sunny and very warm.
For lunch we went to EL Cheque of course and the famous and mandatory hot dogs and cerveza. We stopped at Tony’s afterwards to get fresh vegetables and chilli rellenos (chilli pepper with cheese in the middle, YUM, YUM!), then it was a quick stop at Santa Rosa for milk and a couple of other items then came home. Steve came over to say hi and invite us for Valentine. He will make the reservations. So another day planned for! A small truck came in with a home-built house on the back of the truck (see pictures). There are 4 people living in there, they are from the Skatgit Valley, Washington State. Val had a haircut and so did I. A lady friend we know cuts hair so she did both of us. We had happy hour and met a few of the neighbours...pretty friendly row this one! Louise and Dave are in the same spot Al & Brenda were back in December and we are two up from them.
For dinner, it was chicken, corn on the cob (Mexican and it was OK), buns, tomatoes and cucumber. To top it all, still got a sore throat and runny nose; second time this trip!


FEB 11, Friday, San Carlos
A sunny and warm day again! We got water and propane this morning then the four of us went to Guaymas to shop at the Ley’s and Walmart then it was time for a cerveza and snack which consisted of tortilla soup (delicious). Back home, we invited Joyce and Bill over for happy hour then I went to find a bike seat; should be here sometime next Wednesday. More people have come in today, some heading north and others south. It was a warm evening so sat outside for a while


FEB 12, Saturday, SC
This morning, we went to a local bazaar near here. Lots of people around and lots of crafts, clothes and paintings. Val managed to find a shirt to buy. We ran into Wayne and Glenda from BC and Peter and Marg from Alta. Found out where they live so will have to go visit them soon. We had hot dogs and hamburger and a beer with Peter. Louise wanted to stop for a beer so we headed to Froggy’s and had a couple then came home. We got ready and headed to the Lot for Happy Hour. It was fun and neighbours of theirs joined us too. Came home around 7 pm and had dinner then Val and I sat outside for a while. Made plans with Craig to golfing Tuesday at 2 pm.


FEB 13, Sunday; SC
A quiet day at home. Val did some laundry, Virginia and Garry came out for a visit and we sat with them and Bill and Joyce. Val and Louise sat by the pool for a while and I had a snooze. Happy Hour then home for dinner and a quiet TV evening.
