Countdown to going home......

I don't like to think that I will be leaving here as the time has just flown by! Seems that only yesterday we arrived and now it is almost time to go home. Well, as they say, "All good things must come to an end". I don't like it but I know that, God willing, we will be back next winter.

This week was kind of a busy one for me as I went into La Paz on Wednesday to interpret for a couple here in the park. They were applying for a discount card for seniors and had to go to what is the Mexican equivalent of Social Services. It was an interesting experience. They had word processors instead of manual typewritters!

Thursday I went to Cabo San Lucas with a neighbor here in the park. We wanted to go down to the flea market and see what kind of treasures we could find. By flea market, I mean the kind where the vendors sell their wares--trinkets, pottery, jewelry, t-shirts etc. I love to barter with them but the vendors were not very "hungry" to sell. I did manage to get a ceramic wall hanging at a good price. We also visited Costco and then went to the Latitude 22 Road House for lunch. Great burgers and the ambiance is good. One of those places where people post their business cards and license plates from all over! It is located in a kind of romote area of CSL and not on the beach. It is known for its "No bad days" logo, I guess. So, of course, I got a new t-shirt for Mike and me!

Later we went to pick up my neighbor's company at the airport. Arrival was on time and we were back to the park around 5 pm.

One thing that I said I would NOT buy was an ATV but now we are proud owners of a Honda 250xs 3 wheeler! We got a good deal on it and it will help me in hauling the kayak down to the beach. My arms are killing me from doing it! But it has been rather windy so kayaking has been at a minimum. Mike is fearful that we will end up with all the "junk" we said we would not get! So I have been learning how to maneuver the ATV and drive it safely. A 4 wheeler is a bit more stable, but I am not going to be "hot rodding" either.

So, that is the latest from your Baja Connection. We love to hear from you.
