Feb 11th to 13th - San Carlos

Feb 11th - Mon - San Carlos
Rick had to take his truck in for some maintenance this morning so Terry followed him to Guaymas and brought him back. We had discussed going to Alamos today but figured we could wait a bit for my ankle to heal more.
Rick & Pat and we went for a bike ride to set a date for our glass bottom boat ride. My ankle does fine on the bicycle. We stopped at a couple of places and then had good burgers for lunch at Jax Snax.
Read and did puzzles in the lovely sunshine before going to pick up Rick’s truck. We dropped Rick off and then Terry, Pat & I went to a casino in Guaymas that Rick had discovered. It was small and the slot machines were all the same - choose from multiple games, instructions in English and they took American money. We played for a couple of hours and we all lost. We were surprised that employees came around with free water & pop and little sandwiches - and waved off a tip for doing so.

Feb 12th - Tues - San Carlos
Terry & I visited at the lot this morning. They are going to look after Dolly when we go to the Copper Canyon so I want her to get used to the lot, the people and the dogs. I actually put a couple of pieces in the impossible jigsaw!
Rick & Terry played golf this afternoon while Pat & I went on a fund raiser home tour of 6 houses. Everyone met at the Country Club and we found a lady with room in her car for us so Pat did not have to drive their truck. We went in two groups to lessen the number of cars that had to park at each house. There were probably 15 cars in each group so we made quite a site in town going slowly enough to keep everyone together and get into the correct lane for turns. We saw some very interesting houses. Back at the Country Club, margaritas were provided and there was a raffle for many items - none of which were won by us or the “lot ladies”.
Rick & Terry had already finished golf by the time we got back to the club house so we came back to the park and then went out for pizza for dinner.

Feb 13th - Wed - San Carlos
Got up reasonably early to get a load of sheets & towels on the line so Pat could do laundry later. But we all went for a drive and a walk along a remote beach instead of Pat doing laundry. Then we stopped by the Soggy Peso Bar for lunch. It was a rare day when it was only slightly breezy there and nice enough for Rick to blind us by taking off his shirt to catch some rays after lunch. We made a couple of grocery stops on the way back and had just enough time to put away groceries and relax a bit before Terry took me to a hairdresser here in San Carlos for a cut. Pat had met the hairdresser on Monday at the chiropractor and we saw her on the home tour. She speaks English (raised in Albuquerque) and did a good haircut in about 10 minutes.
A drink and a visit with some neighbors before going our separate ways for dinner & TV watching.
