February 27 & 28, 2011; last days in San Carlos

FEB 27, Sunday, SC
We got up to clouds and a light wind this morning. We figure it’s the edge of the storm going through Tucson, north of here. We went to visit friends, Glenda and Wayne, who are renting a house here in San Carlos. Val got a bunch of sea shells from them. We were there for over an hour visiting then we went for breakfast at “Evies”. After a good breakfast, we went to find some other friends from Alberta, Marg and Peter but couldn’t find them so came home. It is very windy right now but still warm when the sun shines through the clouds.
Around 3 pm, we went to the Lot to say our goodbyes to Steve and Linda. Cathy and Linda had left for the beach so after a short visit with Steve who was still in packing mode, we said goodbye and came back to our place. Cathy and Linda stopped by after their walk and visited with all of us for a while then it was time to say goodbye. Hugs and kisses were exchange and too soon, they were gone.
We had happy hour at D&L then dinner which consisted of BBQ steak, shrimp, Greek salad and buns. Couldn’t ask for better! We watched the Oscars after dinner.


FEB 28, Monday, San Carlos
We got up at 5:30 am and walked to the main road for 6:50 to say our “Canadian Goodbyes” to Steve and Linda but unfortunately, after waiting until 7:15, we admitted that they had already gone by so came back to a warm house. At least we got to see the sun rise, that’s something!
Another month gone by, WOW! Time sure flies when you are having fun. I got more time on my phone to ensure we get the call from our dentist for Val.
Later in the morning, the four of us went to JJ’s, a local eatery and had tacos and other dish, then it was off to Soggy Pesos where I went to find my last cache here in San Carlos. It was situated on an Island which we could access at low tide. The wind was quite strong and cool. We got back to our sites and started packing and getting ready to have our rigs wash tomorrow.
At Happy Hour, Joyce and Bill and Randy and Shirley came over to join us and we had one of our last Happy Hour. The funny thing is that it was really cold (from what we are used to) and were sitting out there with blankets and jackets and having fun. Finally it was time to come in and have dinner.
