I understand recovery day now. It is the day after carnival, most everything is shut down. Carnival lasted 4 days, every night! And still we continue to party! Cruisers are like family, we meet, talk,laugh, sometimes complain, cry, etc. Last night we had a cruisers rendezvous, with lot of new boats. Some we had not met. It was a wine, cheese and pate sampler. Since our guest left us, the word has gotten around to other guests, that they are like another cruiser, so they also need to bring something. We had over 50 cruisers there, and 2 guests. Not a bad showing! All American flags except 1 Canadian.
We mosey back around 8 pm. We stay out later and eat more on the run when we are touring. Don't need to come back to boat stressed out what we are going to cook, or lunch on. No more we have to be back on boat at noon. We now have rules for guests. Stay is no more than 2 weeks. We are back to renting cars with other cruisers, works on our pocket book. We have more people coming down. Looking forward to it.
The Gare Routierre in St. Anne caught fire last night around 3 am. We saw the roof gone today. There is no power anywhere and no fresh bread. All restaurants are closed. They are throwing out all the meats and fridge stuff. Huit was open with a generator, around 5 kw, not enough to run the freezers and refrigerators.
Yesterday morning when we went into town to find a car totally smashed up by thugs. We cannot even get to the internet, cause it has been down for days. So Mike and Paula no pictures.
Tonight we are having lasagna on Sol y Mar. Of course we bring our own drinks, and dishes. Share in the meal with whatever, Maribel made a rum cake.
