The 20th, a very long day!
From hair cuts to a solar eclipse with a party in between! It almost took all day today to recover and write about Monday. Not quite true because today was another day of adventure but more about that another day! Si? Si!
Colin & l dropped the laundry off and headed off to the embarcadero. Somehow we always miss the boat, but another is never far behind. Despite leaving almost 25 minutes late we arrived just on time for our 11AM appt. I think the use of water taxis & pulmonias beats four lane traffic hands down! We are learning that somehow, no matter the time, we always get there right when we are suppose to.
In fact Antonio arrived 5 minutes late, giving us a few moments to stop and enjoy our surroundings. The salon is in the green building. As I'm still new at this blog stuff I forgot to take photos..perhaps just as well.
While I had my hair colored & cut Colin scurried about to 4 different stores looking for specifics for our latest RV problem ( again, another story on another post). Then he had his hair cut. Color 250 pesos, each cut 100 pesos, so for less the 45.00 CAD we were spruced up for Christmas. Great looks for a great price. While rushing back to the panga ferry we noticed the crowds out doing their Christmas shopping.
A fellow was selling a variety of shrimp sizes right on the street corner!
Lots of on the street sales
Then back to the RV for a quick snack and some RV maintenance. Suddenly it’s time to head over for a raffle party. The second RV park here at Tres Amigos had organized a raffle to raise even more money for the Christmas hampers here on the Isla. Between the two raffles and private donations we have raised 13,000 pesos. That is close to 1300.00 USD, which will fill a great deal of food hampers. Well done everyone! However not only did RV2 organize the raffle they put on a great party to celebrate the winners. A wonderful way to start off our Christmas celebrations. Mucho gracias!
Hey thats me in the white, on the right, great hair cut!
The draw...lots of rules, only 2 prizes per family, no pets...whew...but very fair
Drew choses an original painting by Marilyn!!
Just a small section of the feast...fresh sushi...does it get any better?
Even Mother Nature participated with another outstanding show!
This post is getting rather long so I shall put the solar eclipse on the next post…..see you there!
