We bought some furniture for the guest room at Consign & Design, then went over to Renee's. Tanya was glad to see us, and it turns out we were the first customers they'd had in six days. We like to go there because there's a balcony you can watch the ocean from, the staff's friendly, the margaritas are 2 for $5, and you get either really good chips and salsa or else tasty spicy peanuts for free.
If you click on this old photograph of the Malecon, on the left where it says Beto's Place, that's Renee's now. At least as best as I can tell- it's across from the Pointe restaurant. So whoever comes down, be forewarned, you'll probably get taken to Renee's!
There are strawberry stands out now, and the strawberries look really good, but we haven't purchased any yet- we'll do that today. I think we're in the height of local produce now, we're getting some great cucumbers, asparagus, honeydew melons, cantaloupes.
Not much to report, we paid our yearly property taxes today, that was only 400 pesos. The ladder we bought yesterday was 1600 pesos. The heat is out again, but as long as we bundle up a little we're ok. I think the unit just needs to be reset, we don't know how to do that however. We'll have to wait for Oswaldo's guy.
Today's 'clean up the guest room' day, in preparation for the next visitors, Dan & Cheryl. Can't wait. We're heading up to Tucson next week for a couple of days. There's a big book sale.
The newspaper's going well, we're getting lots of attention. It seems a lot of people were looking for an English language newspaper down here. We even have people from Germany, India, and Croatia looking at it and staying there for 6 or 7 minutes.
That's all the news that's fit to print, the town is all ours, no tourists hardly at all. So come on down if you can!
