Bits and pieces

Thursday January 10, 2013

We’ve been here almost three weeks now and are starting to settle into some sort of a routine. 

The first week or so was stressful with my health issues but now….all is well and I feel good.  However, now Eric has had some sort of bug for the last few days a bit of La tourista and just not feeling well.  Along with that he has developed a sun sensitivity due to the St. John’s Wort that he usually takes.  Horrible prickling, itching and pain on his feet and legs if he goes in the sun and it’s much worse at night.  He stopped the St. John’s Wort a few days ago so hopefully that clears up.  Who wants to be in Mexico and stay out of the sun?

Not much else big happening but we are just so happy to be here that it is all good!

The weather was very warm when we got here and the water was warm too.  Eric managed a few swims before he got sick but now the weather has cooled down and so has the water.  It is a bit warmer today but we did have to run the electric heater last night as it was 10C in the rig yesterday morning.  Brrrr!  

I have been walking every morning on the road and every afternoon on the beach so I’m getting lot’s of exercise.  I do really enjoy the afternoon walk on the beach….good for the soul! 

The ladies here play cards once a week, bingo once a week and every afternoon there is happy hour at the Palapa at four so that’s enough organized activity for me.  There is always something to do!  Cooking, shopping, laundry, cleaning etc. still have to be done too so the days always seem pretty full.  Over the next week or so we will try to get out on the bike a bit and have a look around. 

The park has had lots of people coming and going as they stop in for a week or two or three and then head south to other parts of Mexico.  We then usually see them later in the winter when they head back this way.  We know lots of them now so it’s nice to reconnect with old friends.  Quite the thing this RVing community. 

Tomorrow we will gather at John and Jeri’s for their wonderful fish fry.  Dorado, French fries by Manny and lots of other tasty treats brought by the rest of us.  It’s always fun.
