Nothing like waking up in the morning and finding two computers and my Sony reader stolen! We are lucky that was all that had been taken; my iphone was sitting on the table just asking to be picked up.

We phoned Mary Carmen to ask if she could phone the police (she is a very good Spanish friend who helps us out when we need her) to let them know we were robbed. They came over shortly after we called then not long after the police came, 2 cars and 4 guys with guns! They asked questions, wrote things down, took pictures now we have to go to the Ministero Publico tomorrow to do it all again. Ross went to the Campo at the mouth of the river to see if he can purchase them back but there were just some guys’ playing cards. We won’t likely see our stuff again. Lesson learned, we are now sleeping with our bedroom door open and all our doors and windows are to be locked!!!

AS much as we really didn’t want to go to Mandy’s house for our weekly BBQ, we are now glad that we did. It took our minds off the morning, but we were kinda scared also that someone could be coming back, but you can’t let these thoughts stop you from living! We had a great time; we had fish tacos for dinner along with 2 types of beans and 2 salads and of course pickled onions (Peggy made way too many). We had a grand time visiting and playing volleyball, it is a lot more fun in a pool!

Ross Kim and Critters in paradise!
