A quiet day at home, it is sunny and warm: 24*C! We went into town with Rick and Pat for a hot dog at El Cheque then picked up our bed cover at the dry-cleaner. For Happy Hour, we all walked over to TETAKAWI RV PARK next door to have a drink with friends we met earlier. It ended with over 20 people showing up...big crowd! The park is quite run down but still open. It is much cheaper than TOTONAKA but not as populated and the electrical wiring leaves a lot to be desired. It is owned by the BEST WESTERN HOTEL in front of it. They don’t seem to have any desire to compete with Joe next door. The eight of us including a new couple, Ron and Elen, decided to go to Charly’s Rock for fish and chips, a special on every Tuesday. We had our usual fire afterwards.
Hard to believe we have been here a month, I went to the office and paid for another month. Tai-Chi for Val this morning and I paid for another month. In the afternoon, we had Happy Hour then it was dinner time. At the fire in the evening, we had Wayne, Glenda, Trish and her friend join us at the fire. We also had a young English family from London join us. They have travelled all over South America working their way around. They have a young 12 yr old son.
Another sunny and warm day; 22*C! The gang decided to go to BARACUDA BOB by the Marina for lunch so off we went. After lunch, we stopped at TONY’s and SANTA ROSA to get some groceries. When we got home, Lynden and Leo came behind us with a truck load of wood. In case you are wondering what we use for wood, we usually find pieces of wood all over the desert and also at construction site where we will pick up old 2x4 full of nails or pallets on the mend. We get permission before picking anything off worksites.
We read for the rest of the afternoon then it was Happy Hour which only last one hour. For dinner, we had rice, BBQ shrimps and peppers on a skew.
We had decided to go for a hot dog cook out this evening; each of us had specific items to bring. Val and I went to EL CHEQUE for a hot dog and bought buns for tonight. We came home and Val made a bean salad then we loaded our chairs, table, beer & wine and the food of course. At 3 pm, the girls walked to the beach to Pillar then to our “Sunset Golf House”. The boys took the trucks and all the equipment and we drove up to the “chalet” (see pictures). We even brought fire wood and our makeshift fireplace. After installing ourselves comfortably on the “patio”, we put the food out, had a couple beers then cooked our hot dogs and had a delicious dinner. Unfortunately, the sky was overcast but it was comfortable enough to just put a light jacket on. We had a great time and took one more item off our “bucket list”. We got back home by 8:30 pm and fun was had by all, there were 10 of us. Another great day gone by!
The day began cloudy; we even had about 15 drops of rain fall on us, seriously!!! However, once the sun came out later in the morning, the heat hit us like a hammer. We went for ice cream in the afternoon and at Happy Hour, George and Paulette came over for a drink. For dinner, Val made burritos with the meat we had and left over salad from last night.
