Thursday February 17 2011
We woke up this morning to fog and we thought we felt a drop of rain on our way to the market.

Last week when we went to the market Larry picked up the wrong sack of veggies. He gave me the sack to hold while he bought his fish. A little girl ran up to me and started saying something. I had noticed her when we were getting the veggies. Her mother caught up with us and pointed at the sack. As soon as I looked in I knew it wasn’t ours. We went back to the store and exchanged the sacks. I almost picked another woman’s sack and everyone had a big laugh. Now when we buy veggies we make sure we have the right sack before we leave.

Saturday on the way to the Saturday market I noticed a new Taco café. It is a seafood taco café. I told Larry about it as he didn’t see it. We went back to it so he could eat one to see if they were any good. He had two, they were 10 pesos each.



Larry and I went to Tony’s restaurant on the bay on Monday. We knew something was wrong when he didn’t pick up the cook. I went beachcombing as soon as we got there. Larry thinks I walked over a mile down the beach. When I got back Larry told me that the cook had hurt herself, when she was using an ice pick on a block of ice. She stabbed herself in the leg, hit a large vein. So we had no one there to cook our lunch but Tony and his wife were coming around 1 and they would fix us something. Only that never happened. Tony showed up at 4, his normal time and took us home.
One day last week we went to Fredrick and Lucinda’s palapa on the beach so Larry could try the fried oysters. I had a coconut for my drink and ate fries and onion rings. Lunch was 145 pesos. Larry said the oysters were good and we would eat there again.
Then we went yesterday, Lucinda didn’t cook and the oysters were not as good. We will just have to make sure she is cooking.

The trees on our street got a good trimming.
