Getting things in order…

..poco a poco, little by little.  Another long day but things are coming together, enough that our yard is organized and we can just now deal with one project at a time as we feel like doing something.  We have a place for all the little piles of to dos and other areas to sit and relax and enjoy the view.

Colin and Ismael (the park handy man ) went out in the Jeep and hired two drivers and two trucks to get all of our things from the bodega ( our storage area ).  Colin commented on how we had much less this year.  It is because we gave away many things after the girls passed last March.  No need for fencing or dog beds or ramps, etc.

The next thing was for Ismael and Colin to put up our dust screen. This helps keep the dust from the road on the other side of the fence from coming into our site.  Most of the dust is kicked up from horses going past or ATV’s.

Meanwhile my job was to power wash most everything that came out of storage.

After a good six hours we decided to call it a day and walked up the beach for an early dinner. The meal was good but the margarita not so much. This was our second walk of the day, we had walked down the beach about 7AM just before the high tide came in.  I walked close to 13,000 steps today.  Quite the step up from sitting around all day traveling in the RV.

A colorful sunset as we walked back to the motorhome.

      Yes you are right David, I am much more relaxed. I hope that you do get out on at least one or two more adventures if not more with Lucy.

    It will be mandatory to find somewhere with a good margarita (or to train a bartender to make one)! Nice to see you getting settled in!

      The problem is that there is so much staff turnover that nothing is consistent. But I will give your idea a shot. Turns out that we are going back there for dinner tomorrow with friends who are leaving Tuesday. Heading further south for this winter but they are 4th in line for a front row site here next winter.

    Contessa you need to try a mango margarita at Carmelitas. Delicious! Tell Ruben “hi” from the princess and the ATM.
    Have a great time.

    • contessa says:

      I have had Ruben’s regular magaritas which are very good but never a mango one. I will be sure to say hola form you next time I see him. Hmmm the princess and the ATM, this one you will have to explain to me.
