December 27, Saturday sábado
This morning we strung the cable from our place to Ed’s. Ed was not up as early as he normally is so we had to wait for him. When he finally got up we had to get a ladder from Tony, luckily he was back from the beach (he has a restaurant on the beach). Ed plugged in the cable; we have two or three feet more than we needed but that is a good thing as we will be able to attach it to the wall so it will be out of the way.
I am now able to use the internet here at the bungalow. One of the first things I did was sign up for Skype. For those that don’t know about Skype it’s a site that provides phone service. I can now call someone that also has Skype on their computer and the call is free. I can also call someone’s phone for a small fee.
I called my friend in Oregon, we talked for 18.05 minutes the charge was $0.44, a little over $0.02 a minute.
It was so nice to hear her voice, if she signs up for Skype we can also see each other if she has a web-cam.
We went to the plaza and sat with Norm and Jan. Betsy and Britney joined us.
A man set off some type of firecracker. It sat on the ground and twirled around for a few seconds with sparks flying, then it shot up in the air, came back down close to some other people. Then it went back up in the air and came our way but before it came back down it exploded in a flurry of sparks. Was neat to watch but could have hurt someone if one of the sparks landed on them.
I heard a band playing in the street by the church so went to see what was going on. It was a wedding. The band was escorting the car that had the bride in it.
She had a very nice dress; the train must have been 20 feet long.
We had been invited to this wedding but decided not to go as we really didn’t know the couple. I have seen them almost every day setting on Ed’s stoop.
We could hear music until the early hours of the next morning.
