Glasses

As we are moving next season, we had to get up the courage to tell Raquel. She took it fine and understood that it is very wet out here. We talked to Blanca who will be our landlady next year and got everything sorted out for storing our stuff. If the people in there now move out before we leave we can move our stuff right in. If not, we leave it with Blanca and move it when we get back next season. I’ve been doing a mental inventory, boy, we have accumulated a lot of stuff over the last few years.

My glasses have a coating on them which is very scratched and I was having trouble seeing out of them. There is an optician near Papa Gallo’s (convenient) so I popped in for advice. He said I need new glasses so I ordered some. I had my prescription so that made it easy. I went to reach for my glasses as we left and he said, “No! I keep these for now.” My new ones will be ready on the 28th so I can amuse Rosalie by bumping into things in the meantime. Fortunately, I don’t need them for driving. The total cost will be $2,500 pesos or about $152 CND. Not bad!

I thought for a while that I would never come back here as I couldn’t find my tetra packs of wine anywhere. We found a few but we usually buy a case of twelve to last us a few days. We eventually found a location with the help of a long-time resident and friend of ours. Phew, just in time, Rosalie was starting to have hallucinations, she thought I was a scorpion and kept trying to hit me with her shoe.

Talking of my lovely wife. She booked our return flights home today. The flight leaves from PV so we’ll spend the night there and perhaps revisit the Malecón. Our flight arrives in Vancouver on 13th April but we’ll have to stay in a hotel overnight and then fly Harbour Air on the 14th. That’s a lot off our minds. The whole process of booking stressed Rosalie out a bit though.

It’s amazing how you can create something from nothing. We usually watch Netflix, but this evening for some reason Rosalie wanted music. With Amazon music turned on, a fabulous evening followed listening to old rock music. We usually listen for an hour and then watch a movie. Today though it was such a great time we played music right through until bedtime. A few glasses of wine were involved for a truly magical evening. Something from nothing, I love it. With the volume up it even managed to drive out all the Mexican music playing around and about.
