Slept in (I got up @ 7; Jenny @ 8:30), although not really since we didn't get to bed until about 2 a.m! A rooster kept me awake for alittle while; Jenny didn't hear it at first so I woke her up to hear him! LOL!
Mike had a fruit basket for us, from a friend of his; Patrick brought us some fresh bread - yummy, especially with Mora jam! We relaxed around the room and property until about noon, then went into Cumbaya to get a few food items for breakfast and snacks. We met Patrick and another expat couple (Kevin & Gail) from! Canada who are having a home built here at one of the local malls; we ate at a cuban restaurant, then got some ice cream and experienced our first "gringo" pricing. There was a sign that said 2 scoops for the price of one (Mike translated it), so we thought we'd take advantage of the deal. However, since none of us spoke fluent Spanish, the girl charged us full price, even after Mike tried to speak to her (his Spanish was good enough!), she just pretended to 'not understand'. Oh well, as Gail said, and often says, just take a deep breath and move on.
On the way back we went to Kevin & Gail's property; it has a gorgeous, unobstructed view of the mountains!
We are in for the evening; will relax in the jacuzzi in awhile. Patrick didn't do a full adjustment but helped Jenny's back some and told her the jacuzzi would help this evening; she'll go to his office tomorrow.
BTW, when we got up this morning, it was about 50 degrees but it warmed up nicely, the sun was shining, and the surrounding mountains were clear and beautiful!

> Cindy. Yes, went today; it was a different type of workout. I had a coach for the entire circuit. On the recovery stations, he had me do stretches that were different than what we do. We have pics of the facility, owner, and a couple of the employees, but don't know how to post them here.
ReplyDeleteLarry can take credit for the typing but a friend of ours from church did the design!
