Just Hanging Out

Nothing too exciting going on with us, we are just hanging out with the beasties.  We walked along the beach yesterday morning and then walked down to the marina for breakfast.  We had a nice chat with the restaurant owner and then walked back to the house and pretty much did nothing for the rest of the day.
This morning we took the golf cart and went for a few groceries at a different store and also had breakfast out.
Chad, just being a cat.

In San Carlos

We are spending a few days in San Carlos at a friends home looking after their dog and cat.  They and their visitor from England have gone to visit Guadalajara.  They should have fun; especially since they will be there for Day of the Dead.
Distance wise San Carlos is only about 15 miles from where we live in Guaymas; but it is a world away in things other than mileage.  San Carlos has beautiful views that is for certain.













This morning we went out for breakfast, it wasn't great, the food and cleanliness of the restaurant has definitely gone downhill since the last time we were there.  We haven't been to San Carlos for probably 6 months or so and things have changed I guess.
  We then went to the grocery store.  Talk about sticker shock!!  The price for a can of coffee was double what we pay in Guaymas.  We picked up a couple of things and went to the check out.  When the clerk gave me my change I just looked at it and then back at her with raised eyebrows.  Oh no, she said, I told her in spanish that she still owed me 100 pesos, or around $10.00.  She agreed and then gave me all of my change and we left.  Not a good shopping trip.
Other than shopping we are having a good time here with the animals.
