I went to a little Mexican restaurant in Vallarta for lunch with the girls. 3 of us had the special which was macaroni soup (very good), refried beans, and chicken in a red sauce with rice. Including the drink it was 34 pesos (about 3.40). Sue drove us and I met another Sue and a Mary Lou, all from the states and once we got to the theatre we met about 5 or 6 more girls, I can’t remember all their names but we had a great time. We went to a show called “The Hangover” and it was great. The theatre is just the same as the theaters at home (South Common or West Ed) except the film had Spanish subtitles. There was quite a bit of swearing (it was a bachelor party in Vegas where they got wasted) and some ladies (not in our group) were offended and some left and some just could not believe how some people would find this humor funny. We figured they should have left too. It cost 38 pesos (approx 3.80) for the show so for 7.20 I had lunch and a show, get that in Edmonton!

While I was gallivanting around Vallarta Ross tried out his new scooter. He said he didn’t think it had so much oomph and he ended up with his front tire in the field across the street. Once he got used to it he thinks it drives great. I asked him what his scooters name is and he figures it should be a Bob. He also put up our mailbox and ended up stepping in a hole and he twisted his knee, ankle, toe and back a little bit. He is stiff today but everything is good!

Handyman showed up with his buddy to fix the big hole under our house and we left him to it and went to Rivera restaurant where Jenn works and did our interneting. Ross had the burger and I had a salad with Mahi-Mahi, I really didn’t like the fish but the salad was great. We got home and we now have a drain that will work! Yowza it doesn’t take much to amuse us these days! We went up the ladder and sat on our roof and listened to the crickets, frogs, bugs and dogs and enjoyed the country quiet. We can hardly wait until our steps are up so we don’t have to climb the ladder to get to the roof.

Well, I think that’s all for today, oh a good friend of ours from Vancouver is coming to visit us next month sometime. Lynn will be our very first quest, so I guess we better get the guest bedroom ready for her! Right now it has a lot of Ross’s band stuff in it. Hope everyone has a good day!
