More rigs came in last night and it is cloudy again this morning but warm! Val took a rest today and slept in. I indulged myself by watching football all day. I did take a break for lunch though J. The sky remained overcast all day but the temperature was warm. HH with the gang then I BBQ’ed steaks and shrimp for dinner; Val made a salad to complete the meal. In the evening, we watched AMAZING RACE and THE GOOD WIFE. It’s nice to be able to record one program while watching another especially when they are some of your favorites.
Back to sunshine again. We went to the bank but there was such a long line-up, we gave up and went and mailed our X-mas card to the kids then onward to do our laundry. We had brunch at a small restaurant recommended to us. Once laundry was done, we came back to town, tried the bank again and succeeded in getting money. There was still a line up but it was much smaller. We came home and paid for another 20 days of rent @ $250 Cdn which will take us to December 30. HH with our usual group and a young couple (in their early 40’s) joined us; they are also headed for South America. Pretty neat! Dinner consisted of chili. Tube in the evening then to bed to end another great day!
Back to the morning routine with Val and me. Afterwards, we went to town to pick up some grocery. We had lunch on the Malecon than came home in time to play one game of bocce balls. We have a few new rigs in the Park; as a matter of fact, it is almost full...People from the Bay area, Alaska, California and BC. HH then dinner consisting of BBQ chicken, corn on the cob and potatoes.
Cloudy this morning, the Bay has 8 fishing vessels anchored out in front of our beach, we think there is a storm coming!? The last 3 days have been the highest tide of the month and the water has come up to the cement wall separating us from the beach. Well, the temperature really changed in a hurry...one minute we were sitting there in t-shirt and shorts and within 10 minutes, we were forced to change to long pants and jacket. A cold spell with a strong cold wind came through lowering the temperature from 75 to 65*F. That really was amazing! Val went shopping with Elaine and I had a snooze while she was gone. New people came in as we started HH. They are friends of Rudiger and Charlotte and they soon joined us: Frank and Linda from Vancouver. They have a small Shiitsu named ROCKO! I cooked outside again tonight then we watched the tube.
