Thursday evening we meant some friends that live here year round at Walla Walla’s for dinner. We had the chilis again. Ours were good but Roxanne said hers was tough.
Friday the man we call British John showed up to ask us and Ed over to his place on Saturday for breakfast.
Saturday we arrived at Johns just before 10. Ed had gone to the Saturday Market and was an hour late but it really didn’t matter. The owner of John’s house showed up with a new back door to replace the old one.
Larry helped them carry the door in; it was a metal door with windows. They brought in welding equipment as it had to be welded to the frame. He also had to cut the old door off the frame. So we had some unexpected entertainment while waiting for breakfast.
Ed told us he thought he was coming down with strep throat.
Our breakfast lasted a good 3 hours. It was scrambled eggs with tomatoes, onions and a mild chili, served with beans and bacon.
We didn’t make it to the Saturday Market.
Sunday we went to the plaza during the day to see if the Cocodrilo had a special for lunch. Some kids were putting on Christmas skits, we watched for a while. There was also a clown that was making balloon hearts and flowers. The kids were really having a great time.
Two doors down from the Cocodrilo is a small place where they make tortas, tacos and sometimes, this year they have chili rellenos. We were in luck the sign for the chilies was up we ate there.
Monday we took the speakers to a repair shop to see if he could put on the right plugs. I paid him 100 pesos for his work, I thought he did a great job, but they still didn’t work.
Today we went to Santa Cruz to find the computer tec. This time we had the right town found his house but he wasn’t home.
Larry was hungry so we walked around town to find a place where we could eat. We found an internet café that said they did repairs. But he wanted me to leave my laptop with him. I said no, we will find the tec.
It was about this time I started to feel like I was coming down with a cold.
When I stepped out of the café I noticed a man walking by, I thought this might be the person we were looking for. We started back for the Tec’s house, I was right it had been him and he was home.
The speakers might have been able to be fixed but he said it would cost more to have him fix them than it would to buy a new pair of speakers and the new ones would be better. So the next time we are in Tepic we will get new speakers.
On the bus ride back to San Blas we got to see where the bridge had been washed away this summer. We also saw busses going from San Blas to PV.
It was good to get back to our home as I am getting a cold.
