Monedas Nuevas


Domingo, 15 Julio 2012. You probably know what happened first again this morn...more laundry. Then we made it to the nearest restaurant with internet, the Fogon & Paila, by 10:00am. Time to post the blog again and check emails, and this time took some pictures for you. Beautiful open area with such lush vegetation about.  Our afternoon was quiet with napping and reading. The velador stopped by to collect the weekly fee for watching our house. Dan paid him in all freshly minted coins (monedas). We had gotten them in change at the Banamex where we had paid for our IMSS premiums. They certainly look different. So shiny it is hard to see the writing on them. He thought it a good joke when he was told we made these coins here.

Walked to the central park about 4pm, where we enjoyed just being alive, and seeing all the other folks from town doing the same. There was a Telcel booth set up in the park, loud speaker and music blaring as they were hawking new smart phones. Dan walked up and cornered a salesman who finally gave us the needed info to allow us to access our voice messages. Black clouds were roaming the sky, so did not stay too long. Stopped at the grocery store, which is actually a block off our route home. Bought some items for when we arrive in September. Rested. Together we prepped our last fresh orange juice. Sooooooooo good. Enough time for a last laundry of today's clothes. We'll hang them inside and they'll be dry waiting for our return in September.
