Martes, 10 Julio 2012. It
rained all morning, with it only about 71ºF in the house. About
midday the Fester folks brought by a five gallon pail of the wood
treatment, while Dan was working on sketching bathroom elevations.
Then the birds began to sing, indicating that the rain was over. The
hot sun rapidly dried all the puddles. So we took the opportunity
for a turn thru town, stopping first at another locksmith's where we
dropped off the second bedroom door lock cylinder to have it's keys
made. Then to the hardware store for a paint roller & tray, a
telescoping handle for the roller, that will reach those 10'
cathedral ceilings and a 4” brush—this should have us all
prepared for our helper coming in on Thursday. On the way back we
tapped the atm at the Banamex to replenish the pesos, and got our
keys.
Carmen cooked another
delicious meal: breaded fish with migas, fresh broccoli and
sauteed potatoes with onions. We both need to rest up, as we are
feeling pooped from being on the go constantly coupled with the
mental toll of doing it all in a foreign language. Yesterday we saw
what appeared to be some eagles (aguilas) soaring high
above--not so very different from the skies over Anacortes, it seems.
