Today is national water your street day, there will be a big parade with fireworks and they have declared it a holiday. Well, no not really, but it sure seems like it, everywhere we have driven today they are watering the road. Now in the dry season as we have sand/dirt roads they water the street in front of their houses so it keeps the dust down, but it just seems that today it’s different somehow. Maybe not, maybe both Ross and I have gone crazy! Whatever!
I had a doctor’s appointment at noon so I woke up at 10, had some coffee, tried to look at my e-mails, but couldn’t as we are having internet problems, so I had my shower and left the house at twenty to 12 to get to the other side of Centro Bucerias where the doctor’s office is. I introduced myself and told him my husband Ross and I are down here full time so we would be seeing him, he said hopefully not too often. He was really nice and spoke very good English after 5 minutes I paid him 200 pesos and got a prescription for some cream that cost me 30 pesos (approx. $20.00 total). After stopping off at the Pharmacia and Beto’s (for wine) I got home just in time to leave to go to Korsario’s for another meet and greet before the big election tomorrow morning. No one showed up, but Harold and Rita stopped by to keep us company and Ross got an order of fries (the restaurant might close at the end of the month, not enough patrons and too high of rent), Ross says they are the best in Bucerias!
At 3 we packed ourselves up to come home to get our swim suits on, Lisa and Wayne live on the north side of Bucerias and just got their pool finished and they had a pool party for our AA friends. It was too cold to get all the way in but Lisa and I put our feet in. We had great munchies of deviled eggs, that wonderful 7 layer dip with tortillas and cheesies……., we left at 5 to come home to get ready for the meeting and after we all went to Ernesto’s in Jarraderris (sp??) between PV and Nuevo for the best ever ribs. I feel so sorry for them, the restaurant is at their house and there must have been 25 of us? Maybe? All the food is made fresh, some people had tortilla soup, some had nachos with cheese on top and most of us had the ribs!
It’s now 10pm and we need to get up in the morning, early, for our breakfast meeting and the “Big election” I’ll let you know all about it tomorrow!
