Friday Apr 20/12 update
We had arranged to have a technician come out today because
our download speed had dropped off significantly in the last week again and we
had all kinds of disruptions yesterday but everything was operating good this
morning so I cancelled it. Big
Mistake. The signal has been dropping
off and on all day.
Bella went with Bettye to the Vega pottery shop on Avenida
De Las Americas while I lazed around home. Friday is a discount day where you can purchase delicately flawed pottery for a fraction of the going price. Bella got more cat dishes, a milk jug, and a large bowl, while Bettye came home with many colourful dishes and a teapot.
I met them and Chris at the Palermo at 5pm. Our #50 bus goes right from our door to theirs after a detour around the construction on the Avenida De Las Americas, and it bypasses a sculpture in the middle of a traffic circle called "The Totems".
Joining us also were the next-door neighbor, Jim, from the Chicago area (who we had met before at Joe’s Secret
Garden
Chris spotted this
interesting cloud on the horizon and we had fun speculating on what it looked
like. I thought it was a reclined baby,
or maybe it is an old man? What do you
think?
We enjoyed some great cheeses and crackers before heading
off to a hidden restaurant across the street where we were the only
patrons. They don’t have any great
signage or visible advertising, so we don’t know how they make any money, and
yet the food is terrific. Chris had
recommended the sea bass dish, which everyone had, except Bella, and it was
truly excellent for $6.50. Everyone had
many interesting and humorous stories about wild adventures so it was a great evening.
Enjoy the pics.
That was today’s excitement. Hugs
to all.
