Dear Friends and Family,
This will be a rather short report this morning. Yesterday, after having dealt with a very sore throat for about 5 days, I reported to the local hospital at 8 am to see a doctor. I was fortunate to see the doctor we have dealt with nearly every year we are here, Dr. Pedro Gonzalez. He is very good, as excellent English, and really listens to what you are telling him. He gave me a low-dose antibiotic and another remedy and sent me on my way. All in about 20 minutes. No appointment, no waiting and all for about $40. Many in our government tell us of the horrors of foreign medicine, but we have always had the best of treatments down here. When you stay for as long as we do, between the two of us, something is bound to crop up. And every year it has. This year we were just two weeks from a perfect record, but alas, no, Anyway, hopefully I am on the mend. We did, however, decide to take it pretty easy.
I did have to make a run to the supermercado for some essential supplies: tequila, chicken, etc. On my way back, I ran into a developing kiddie parade on the Malécon.
PV does get its money's worth out of the Malécon. There is almost always something going on. This Friday morning a batch of very tiny kids seemed to be a variety of animals, insects and even a few flowers, I believe.
Obviously, very cute.
We did make it down the hill for a margarita at noon, but that was it until about 3. While we had not initially planned to go up river to El Rio, Wednesday night at La Palapa, Bobby's son told us he was going to be up there Friday to play with his father. Sadly, after motoring up on a dreary and kind of threatening looking day, Jay Rahm, the son, did not show! We certainly still enjoyed the music, but eventually we got a bit of rain. Nothing really hard, but it did tend to take the shine off the afternoon. Also, the medicine had not seemed to kick in, so about 5:45 we caught the bus back into town. We had another margarita at La Fuente, largely for medicinal purposes, and then up the hill.
We had a bit of dinner, but by 8 I was done in. So, we read, but largely tried to heal so that we can make the most of the last 10 days. We shall see
