It is warmer this morning. We were out of tea so I walked down to one of the many stores to get some. Was going to get some vegetables too but the store I went into no longer had any. The tea cost 11 pesos or $1.10 US.
Someone had put soap in the fountain, looked like it had snow on it. Two years ago someone had done the same thing. The fountain was not turned on last year.
We went to our favorite place for lunch. It’s been two weeks since we have been there. We both had Chili Relleno Con Queso. They were a little spicy but not bad. I really like the way he makes them there. Again our meal was 32 pesos each ($3.20 US) which includes the drink, today the drink was strawberry.
It seems that now that we have internet here we don’t go out as much during the day. We are going to have to do something about that.
I discovered sometime this morning that we had no hot water. I heard Tony get a new tank of gas so I thought it wouldn’t be too long before we had hot water again. I wanted to do dishes. I thought I would just heat some water on the stove. I did manage to get the sink full and half of the rinses sink full when the stove stopped working, not broken just not any gas. I was able to get the dishes done.
Couldn’t find Tony to let him know we were out of gas and hot water but did get the message to his wife that we had no hot water. I didn’t know how to say “no gas”.
Around 6:30 I went to the store to get some Pepsi and a light bulb (the one in the kitchen went out) and Tony was there. He told me we would now have hot water, the gas tank had been empty. I was able to shower before going to the plaza.
When I first got to the plaza not many people were there, but as the evening wore on more and more people started show up.
Some of the people were setting of firecrackers, bottle rockets, and small fireworks. This went on long after we had gone back to our bungalow. We were told that they would start dancing in the plaza around 1:00AM and stop around 7:00am. We didn’t stay to see if they did or not but there was a lot of noise and music long into the night.
