I got a call from Christie last night letting us know that we don’t have to work in the office for the next couple of weeks because we are going to spruce it up. So instead of getting up to get to the office by 9, we got up at nine and got to the office at 11. We boxed things up moved the furniture to the centre and Paul started to pull nails and then we did a shit load of patching. Now this office is on the beach road (no, the beach is behind us) and is about 150 sq ft in total, so it’s a really small place and with 6 of us in there vacuuming with a shop vac, using a broom and washing the walls, it was fun.
Once we got all the patching done we went to the new Wal-Mart that just opened up today on the other side of Mexcales, it wasn’t as busy as we thought but the parking lot is so small! Cars were parked willy nilly all over the place. It is of course tinier than ours back in Edmonton, but they have a lot of brands brought in for us gringos, I even found kitchen bouquet (for making nummy gravy)! I found 4 very red seat cushions for my kitchen chairs (that’s all they had), but I will need to buy two more as I have 6 chairs.
total.
It was cloudy when we got up this morning but it is really hot out and the sun is just beating down, it will be nice to get rid of all this humidity, they say another 2 weeks!
Our pool is about ½ way filled now so it won’t be until tomorrow until we can go in it again.
I’m going to post our blog now as I don’t think I will have time tonight. We are meeting Christie, John, Cheryl and Paul at the Sirloin Stockade for an impromptu meeting, then there is a fund raiser at the Twisted Rose here in Bucerias for every drink sold they will donate a certain amount of money to several charities we have here, and John and Christie are going to match them pesos for pesos, wow! So that is at 8pm, then Ross wants to be at Britannia (a bar in La Cruz to play for awhile) so we are kinda busy tonight! I will fill you in on the night tomorrow.
Bye for now from Bucerias
Ross and Kim (it’s tired out!)
