A sunny but very cool day; the temperature barely got to 20*C and the wind was cold. We went to Rosa Cantina for tortilla soup then came home and read inside “Bear”. At 3 pm, Joseph, the owner of Totonaka, put on a “Customer Appreciation Day”. Everyone brought a small dish and he provided the wine, beer and tequila and music for everyone. It was unfortunate that the wind was so cold and strong; a few glasses and plates of food went flying. At 5 pm, the gang attempted to have Happy Hour but after 15 minutes, we both went inside, temperature was down to 65*C
Finally, a warmer day, 21*C @ 10 am; the wind has abated making it much nicer out. Tucker has a bad ear infection so we took him to the Vet who cleaned it up, gave him some ointment and a needle for the infection which he made us known he didn’t like. After all that we went to TONY for some veggies then to El CHEQUE for a hot dog then home. Val went for a walk with the girls and I had a snooze. Happy Hour at 4:30, dinner then we watched the tube.
A sunny, cool, windy day; the wind is coming up every early afternoon and dies down after the sun is set. It is getting tiring as it keeps things just a bit too cool but I imagine we will be complaining when it dies down completely and the heat comes back!? Val and I went to Soggy Pesos and walked the Algodones (meaning cotton) beach with Tucker who thought this was great. It is a fantastic sandy beach with sand dunes at one end (see pictures in folder #83 in Picasa link). Afterwards, we stopped for a beer and watched the kids playing in the sand and on the beach. We came home and had dinner then watched the tube.
At Happy Hour, Pat and Rick came home from a golf game with our friend Craig and we learned that Craig’s truck was stolen from the parking lot. The horrible thing is that his passport, tourist card and wallet were in the truck; how awful!!! The police were called and now his nightmare starts, he will have to go to Hermosillo to the consulate to get a new Passport and tourist card (a nightmare in bureaucracy here in Mexico) then deal with the insurance, cancel all his credit cards and find a new truck IF they don’t find his in time. This is the third vehicle to be stolen in San Carlos in the last month...makes you wonder!!!
Our day was quiet; we went shopping in Guaymas and then came home to “not so Happy Hour”. After dinner, we had a fire and Mike and Marlene from California joined us.
Practically all the ladies and men in the park went to the yearly San Carlos “house tour”. It is a big charity event where about 6 to 8 fancy houses in San Carlos are put on display to the public. All the money collected goes to the poor children of San Carlos and Guaymas. It lasted about 3 hours then everyone met at the golf course for prizes, free margarita and speeches. We, the guys, went golfing, nine holes. I didn’t do too bad considering! When everyone was home, the Kirkby’s, the Tate’s and we went for a hamburger at “THE EDGE”. It was very busy there; I think everyone else thought the same. We dropped off some pictures that I had printed to Craig and Cathy. A good day overall.
