FEB 24, Thursday, San Carlos
Another warm but windy day! We went to the “Lot” in the afternoon for a Cathy’s birthday party and a joined lunch. We arrived around 2 pm, sat outside behind a bamboo blind to protect everyone from the wind and proceeded to chat, eat and drink (not necessarily in that order). Linda got a birthday cake for Cathy and she had to blow a “big” candle then we shared the cake. We eventually had to depart and arrived home around 4:30 pm. The girls went to Sagittarius, where an art show was happening. Val’s Tai-Chi teacher had some of her art there so she wanted to show support by making an appearance.
FEB 25, Friday, Tucker’s haircut
A very hot day today...went up to 85*F (23*C). Val and Joyce went to the book exchange store and came back with a few books then we went to Evie to get more coffee grounds. At noon, we took Tucker for his haircut and I went for one at Maru so now we are all ready to return to the States side. In the afternoon, we read and Val made a salad for our get together later this afternoon with Garry and Virginia.
It is now 9:30 pm and we just got home from Virginia and Garry in the Ranchitos. We got there around 4:30, Louise & Dave, Joyce & Bill and us. We sat around for a while and had a few drinks and spiced shrimp made by Louise and smoked tuna on cracker and cream. Garry cooked the ribs and we had dinner around 6:30 which consisted of Spare Ribs cooked to perfection, Mexican beans which Garry had made from scratch, a broccoli salad from Val and corn bread made by Joyce. It was all delicious! Wine was served freely then after dinner it was desert consisting of ice cream, whipped cream and wafer cookies followed by a shot of Mexican brandy. We had many good laughs, reminisced over the first time we met and talked about the future. Then, too soon, it was time to call it quit and after saying our goodbyes, came home.
FEB 26, Saturday, SC
Today was final chore day; laundry, truck washed in & out, clean house. We leave for the U.S. in 3 days. I met Cathy at “the Edge” as I having a burger and cerveza while waiting for a space to get the truck in for a wash then as I was leaving, I met Linda, Steve and Craig at “El Cheque” so had to stop for the mandatory hot dog. The afternoon was spent relaxing and reading. For dinner, the six of us (D&L, us and Joyce and Bill) went to the Italian restaurant just outside of our gate and had a very good Italian dinner. Dave and I had the spaghetti and meat balls while the others tried different dish. We had a good time and sat out on the patio. The place filled quite quickly; it has become a popular place. We watched the fog rolled in (first time since we arrived) and decided to call it quit as it was quite cold when walking home.
