Sam and Rita pack up to leave.

Monday/Tuesday March 22/23rd 2011

Well the weather is really warming up and everyone is leaving.  Boohoo! 

It’s Monday and Sam and Rita are packing up the rig and will load the bike later in the day.  They didn’t need any help with anything so Eric decided to wash Blue and I went off with Manny/Connie and Betty to Sam’s Club.  I don’t have a card so Manny took us and used his card.  Sam’s Club is a Wal-Mart /Costco and has mostly large quantities of food.  I was looking for a big jar of peanut butter and a few other things that I can’t get in other stores so I bought the most.  In the end it turned out to be a bad day to go because the Mexicans were really stocking up.  This is a holiday Monday for them and they are taking an opportunity to shop.   I think they must have come in from other small towns because it looked like their carts were full of goods to be sold in small stores.  Lets just say it took awhile to get through the check out.  We stopped at Henderson’s for meat on the way home but…..they decided to close at 1:30.   Ah Mexico. 

When I got home the crowd on the other side of the park were dashing off to the other end of town for a fish dinner.  They left at 3pm!  I guess this place is hard to get into and you have to be there early.  Shades of retirement in Yuma!!!!   Lots of people are eating out every night trying to cram every restaurant they haven’t eaten in into the last few days.  No thanks! 

Late in the day Eric helped Sam with the loading of his Harley.  An interesting lift on the back of the motor home.
