Tuesday Feb 4/2020

Yesterday we woke up to a lousy day, with lots of early morning rain and quite an angry sea.

We didn't do too much until the afternoon when, after the rain mostly stopped, we decided to walk to Soriano's. An hour, (and 5 kms) later we arrived just in time for the rain to start again. The first stop was a high end store across the street from Soriano's called La Marina (very much like a Liverpool store). In the small appliance section I found the following;

A Oster toaster for "ONLY" $157  !!!!!! Now I know it is a nice toaster but.......

After our purchases in Soriano's we stopped outside at the Oaxaca market which was completing its last full day in the parking lot before moving somewhere else. We picked up a few items and then proceeded across the main street to pick up the bus to get home.

The evening was spent playing rummy and watching an episode of Mind Hunters on Netflix.

Today we woke up to overcast skies but throughout the day it brightened up. Other than a lot of bugs outside it was a pleasant day.

Caro went down to the beach in the morning (as she usually does at some point in the day ) and noticed the damage done by the storm waves.

The restaurant people told her this is normal and the beach will restore itself over time.

I didn't do too much today but Caro walked about 15 minutes to her appointment at the hair salon.

Tonight Caro fried up some fish and along with rice and a salad we enjoyed another great meal.

We are finally getting low on cash. I will have to find a bank tomorrow and pick up a few hundred dollars before we head to Colima on Thursday.

We have reached the half way point in our time down here. We have found that with Face Time we can talk to the kids and grandkids as often as we (and they) want to chat, so we are not missing them as much as we would have even a few years ago when the technology wasn't as good.

Tonight a nice breeze has come up thus keeping the bugs away and allowing us to enjoy the veranda with the lights of the houses and buildings glistening across the bay. There is the occasional large container ship gliding by, either inboard or outbound which is always nice to see.
