Mel.
Now on to Rhonda.
Tire stores - they are everywhere... the roads are bumpy but come on... one every 2 blocks and no one seems to be buying.
Mel had never been for a pedicure and walking on the beach can be hard on the feet so I walked past this place - it's only a block away and they do pedicures. So I went to Mel and asked her if she had 40 minutes. She did but I don't think she realized (and either did I) that they would spend almost 2 hours on her feet. She likes it - hey Mikey....
The music in the streets is always playing. Each corner you turn you hear a different song. Shadow and I were walking yesterday and we came upon a young fellow BBQ'ing. I asked him if I could have some of what he was cooking and he said yes and pointed to a chair. I waited 1/2 hour and finally realized he didn't understand English and what I was supposed to do is to go into the shop behind him and buy the meat for him to cook. An hour later we had a feast and it was delicious.
Mel and Car l bought a fan for my room - it's a turbo charger and what a difference a fan makes!!! I am very happy about it.
We spent a good part of the day waiting for their handyman Oswaldo (the one they bought the house from ). He was supposed to be here Tuesday at noon to help them change a faucet and called at 2:30 to say he would be late. He came over at 4:00 and had to postpone his appointment until Thursday. He was to be here in the morning and arrived at 3:30 that afternoon. He finally finished he job yesterday. A very hardworking man who is overbooked and living on Mexican time.
Today Mel and I went for a super $4 breakfast and then to the the beach. It is the "day of the dead" here so it wasn't very busy. After we went shopping and I am going to make a seafood broth dish with fish, prawns and clams. Yum!
Tomorrow is my travel day home. I will miss it here and miss Mel, Carl and Shadow too of course. What a great holiday it has been!

In Mexico we found that Mañana means some time later could be tomorrow or weeks from tomorrow. Mañana a Mañana means later on today and Uno Memmento or possibly cuatro hora means also later on today. A couple of Mexican Missionaries taught us this and it proves to be right 99% of the time. Have a great sunny, hot beach swimming day.
Melody, I think I'll give the Camel Toe Cantina a miss. Thanks anyway.
A pedicure? What next?
Rhonda, I laughed over you waiting for the young guy to share his BBQ - that's hilarious! I can just imagine you sitting in a chair, smiling and nodding and waiting...
Us introverted types are jealous as hell of your ability to put yourself out there and make friends with strangers. Good on you!
Sounds like you had a great holiday - and I don't think Puerto Peñasco will ever be the same.
