Yesterday morning as Larry was going out for his morning bike ride he said Jean-Paul has already gone somewhere on his bike. Jean-Paul has been sleeping in until 8:30 – 9:00. Then Larry saw that the chain that locks the bike to the iron bars on the window had been cut.

We went to the plaza to check the Cocodrilo for the morning special but there was no sign out. We decided to get a steak at the mini super that’s on the plaza; they will cut it as thick as we want. Then Larry got another fish at the fish market. When he started to pay she wouldn’t take the money as she owed him change from the last time he bought fish from her.

We went to the plaza in the evening to have chiles rellenos. We sat at a table with two Mexican women, mother and daughter. They were from Mexico City, here for the holiday. They didn’t speak any English but we did manage to talk with them.

This morning Jean-Paul told us he was leaving, going south to find a new place to live. He felt the bike was stolen because it was his and someone wanted to get back at him for some reason. I think someone saw an easy target and took it. He was ready to leave today but calmed down some and decided not to leave until after the New Year.

We had to get some limes, a grapefruit, and tangerines as we were out, oh and Larry bought another fish. He had his fish and I had the rest of the steak for lunch.
