I learned something new today, it is not warm outside unless you can wear flip flops outside and not be cold!
Up early today, but had a really good meeting with a solar panel company at La Fronda with John and Christie and the gang. They have 2 products that they talked about today, a film that goes over the inside of your windows to minimize the heat that comes into your house (we might buy that) and of course solar panels to minimize your power consumption. I didn’t get much sleep last night and was feeling really fuzzy this morning but wow I was impressed with this company.
We left at 11:15 to get back to the office, we let Mackenzie go home, Ross stayed at the office and I went for a quick nail fill, Mackenzie said the walking traffic was great while she was at the office, it sure died down, and we got one lead.
After being home for a bit we drove to the airport to pick up Bruce, his wife Bernice and Bruce’s sister Jo. We don’t have enough room for 3 people and their luggage in our Sunfire so we asked Sue and Harold to help us. They donate their time and gas to drive people from the airport to their hotels, a donation goes to charity for payment. Since they are our friends we drove to Guayabitos with Harold and Sue, Bruce and Bernice drove with Ross and Jo, Harold, Sue and I went in Sue and Harold’s SUV. We beat Ross by at least 5 minutes, we are not quite sure how, they were ahead of us and we stopped at Oxxo for pop before leaving Bucerias.
If you drove past this hotel you wouldn’t know it was there, it’s so cool, you drive in to a very skinny driveway and there is a hotel in the back. It looks quite cute, Bruce’s sister Jo stays there every year (for the past 9 years) and knew everyone by the pool. We went for dinner with Bruce and Bernice in the restaurant that is connected to their hotel, great food!
We drove home to watch a bit of American Idol, and we are now watching Discovery Channel, which, I believe, is an hour long program, on Nabors drilling rig 99 in BC! I don’t recognize any of the employees yet, I’m hoping to recognize at least one name! Its 9:29 pm here (10:29 Edmonton time) and it is kinda cool to see my old employer on Discovery Channel!
We have lots of going on tomorrow and Thursday (I can’t tell you know, then you wouldn’t read my next two blogs, so stay toned and we’ll talk to you soon.
Adios Ross, Kim, Bruce, Bernice, Jo and Critters in Paradise
