Another cloudy morning, so it’s not a beach day. Larry took the laundry to get done early this morning. He started to take the garbage to the garbage tree but noticed the garbage truck had already picked it up so the garbage was put in the garbage box at the store.
He took off on a bike ride but was right back with Ron, who took us to a doctor’s office to find out where we needed to go for the blood work we need done and for the echo gram Larry needs to have done. Tomorrow we will have the blood work done by his office and will have the results by the afternoon. Larry will have to go to Tepic for his other test.
On our way back to our little bungalow we stopped at the pork place and had tortas, for 30 pesos.
We had to go to the bank to get smaller bills. When you get money from the ATM you get a lot of big bills that the vendors don’t have change for when you buy something so you exchange the big ones for smaller. The vendors don’t like to get 200 or 100 peso bills, there is no way they can break a 500. Some of the stores can deal with the 200 or 100.
I must have walked down to get the laundry at least 3 times, the 10 year old girl kept telling me one more hour. Larry and I went on a tequila run and to get the laundry. This time a man was there and tried to tell us why our laundry was not there. They ran out of water is what I got out of what he said. He then said wait one moment, got in his car and drove off. In about ten to fifteen minutes he was back with four or five bags of cleaned laundry and ours was there. The laundry cost us 50 pesos this time.
