Larry likes this brand of soap to shower with, but its laundry soap.
After lunch we went back to the pool. We had arranged for a taxi to come to pick us up at 3 as the TNS bus stops running at 1:30. At 3:15 we decided that he had forgotten about us. The very old city bus was headed south going to Santa Cruz. We told the driver we wanted to go to San Blas; he said he was going there after Santa Cruz. So Val and I got on. If we had only known it was going to take us 2 hours to get back to San Blas. After the bus went to Santa Cruz it went to Llano which is not far but when we got to La Palma the bus turned around at a factory to pick up the workers and take them back to Santa Cruz. We should have been back home by 3:30 but it was 5:30 when I walked in the house.
Thursday the 3rd was San Blas days. For the last 3 years they have taken the statue of St San Blas down the street by our place. This year they went a different way. We did make it to the plaza to watch them building the tower for the fireworks during the day and back for the fireworks that night.
Monday the 7th I rode my bike to the beach where I met Val and Ray for lunch. They had fried oysters, first time I have seen fried oysters down here. Larry will have to try them.
There has been another shooting in Tepic, 2 men were killed. They were from San Blas.
Today Val, Ray and I rode in the back of Tony’s pickup to his restaurant on the bay. The water there is very calm, no big waves. I did some beachcombing; I have found some nice shells there before. We were going to catch the bus at 1 back to San Blas but when we checked the time it was almost 3. Tony comes back at 4 every day to close up so we rode back with him.
I noticed a bus station just as we were entering town that hadn’t been there before. Most of the busses that are parked at the bus station down town by the plaza were parked at this new station.
They have torn up the street between the plaza and the church which is where the bus station is. It looks like they are going to pour a concrete street there too.
Tuesday February 8 2011
Last Wednesday, the 2 of February Val and I went to El Chocó’s to enjoy the swimming pool. Val went in but I thought the water was too cold. For lunch we walked down the road to a restaurant that is on the beach, they also have shacks on the beach that you can set in and they will bring your food out to you.
There was a man there with a bucket of oysters, he came to the table and shucked the oysters for Val to eat. She had 7, he wanted 100 pesos for them but she was able to talk him down to 70 pesos.
