Yum.

Thanks to Rhonda for taking over the blog last week! She got some great shots and unique perspectives on the town.

The new thing with us is the sunset dog swim. (He swims, we don't.) We head down to the beach about 5 PM, wade about knee deep and throw his football for half an hour or so as the sun sets. Tonight we came home and cleaned up and went out to Aqui es Con Flavio, the restaurant that Rhonda and I went to the other night. I had a hankering for the Mexican platter and an aversion to cooking.

Interesting day today- the electricity kept browning out and then surging! My electronics!! I was in a panic- we might buy a couple of power conditioners to protect the computers, routers, TV and othe expensive electronics.

I was just talking on the phone to Oswaldo, asking him if he knew where we could buy such a thing, and the phone made a crackling sound and went dead! We could smell a burning smell, and several components were dead. Both phones were gone. It was not a good moment.

After some investigation, we found out one of our surge protectors was producing the smell. We replaced it (they're really inexpensive here), and all the components are ok!! Phew.

Carl is thrilled because when we went to the beer store tonight, he got a card. If you buy 6 12 packs of Tecate, you get a six-pack free. They stamp the card like they do for ...I don't know, donuts, I guess. We'll be buying the Tecate, I'm guessing. :)

Oh! I completely forgot to say what I'm doing next week! Another Uncommen Women event, I quote:
We can't wait to have you as our guests at Consign & Design this month Nov. 11th, 5ish. You can expect a fun evening including a fashion show featuring many items from the Consignment Collection, make up and hair styles by the talented artist Dalia, " Nail Artist Extrordinaire"! We will also have yummie appetizers, sangrias, and rum punch prepared and served by Beverlys' Catering service! You can be sure to expect a great "girls night out" at Consign & Design! (in the old Costa Brava Bldg, Old Port)

Now I don't know where the old Costa Brava bldg is, but you can be sure I can find out. Melody at a fashion show! First a pedicure, now a fashion show-wonders never cease!
