Here is a picture of the policia cars we had parked outside our house on Sunday

Monday August 16th to Thursday August 19th, 2010

I haven’t been up to writing my blog for the past couple of days as I am still so angry about someone coming into our house and taking something that is not theirs and didn’t work for! Sleep is sketchy at best even though we got our backdoor working (it locks now). I am looking forward to the new security system we are putting in, as soon as it gets here. One of our good friends, Gene, has called and suggested we get an alarm system like he has, it alarms winds and doors with a high pitched scream. He sent over the info and he will order it for us and has someone bringing it down for us, I think on the 23rd. It is going to cost a bit extra for the fast shipping but we feel it is definitely worth the extra money.

Monday was a really down day, I guess we were shell shocked, we had had a break in, in Edmonton years ago, but you never get used to it. I got my scooter fixed, and we treated ourselves to dinner at Karen’s, Ross had the Mahi Mahi and I had the pasta,(and ate the leftovers the next day!).

Tuesday Dick and Mary Carmen came over at 11 and we went to the Ministerial Publico to file the complaint of the break in, if you don’t do that the burglary won’t be registered. It normally takes a long time for the procedure so we decided that we would go to Torito’s for 2 for 1 ribs, but it hardly took any time at all so we just went back home.

Wednesday went to The Galleria Mall to see a show yesterday. We saw the sorcerer's apprentice; it was ok, not great though. We don’t normally go to movies like that but the other one we wanted to see had already started, I can’t remember the name of it, it was the one with Sylvester Stallone and gang! We were debating whether or not to park underground (pay) or park at Walmart (and not pay) since we were having problems with the scooters starting, I didn’t want to have to fix anything in the pouring rain so we decided to park underground. We were turned away at the main entrance and told to go to the other side of the parkade??????, we got there and guess what, we could get in for free, nice to know! I realized that they got my iPod touch too, along with a speaker for it, that got me upset all over again, I typed a short letter in Spanish and took it around to my neighbors to warn them and to let them know if they find out about anything for sale that was in the letter to call the police because it is stolen!!!

We drove the scooters to Torito’s today to meet up with Sue and Harold as they took someone to the airport and decided to go for lunch there. We ended up driving through Nuevo Vallarta as the 2 lane highway goes down to one lane where they are building the overpass and it is taking up to close to 2 hours to drive to Vallarta via the highway! It sure is a prettier drive than the highway, lots of palm trees and of course the golf club. It started to rain after lunch so I put my new poncho on and off we drove in the rain! My poncho kept me nice and dry (it is red like my scooter) but I put the hood under my helmet so the rain wouldn’t go down my neck and it started working its way down my forehead over my eyes so at a red light I took off my helmet (lost my headband) and took the hood off, it was ok until we drove cause the wind caught it and it felt like I was choking, I had Ross tuck it in at another red light!

That’s it for now, I have to put some software into my pink computer (it was in the HP) to make more address cards for us.
