Needless to say, I had to do alot more sitting around than I had intended to. I drank a ton of water, some coffee and finally ate a half a sleeve of soda crackers and finally started feeling ok.
I did some work inside, dusting and putting things away for our move tomorrow. I strapped down my sewing cabinet and the table and chairs.
Bella and I went and picked up the laundry at about noon. When we got back it was too hot inside the rig to do much of anything, including putting the laundry away. so, I just put the bags on the bed.
Tim and Sue said they had gone to Santiago to get money. Our ATM card wont work at the machine at the Bank in Los Barriles and the machine inside the hotel lobby has been out of money since the first weekend with all the kite surfers.
So, I drove to Santiago. Bella didn't wat to go. I found the bank right off the bat and my card worked. Yippee.
O drive back and put stiff away outside. I put the fire pit away, the bar-b-q; the lights, the rugs and some of the fencing.
It was still really hot inside. I drove the quad back and turned it back in. We haggled a little bit about my refund. He had told us it was $400. A week, so $1600 for the month. That is what he charged us, but then he wrote that our return was Feb 15th. It should have been the 18th. So, rather than getting a full $400 back for the last week he said we rented it for 25 days and only gave me $256. Then, I haven't seen the new $100.00 bills, or even the $50. So they didn't look right to me. In the end,I took the $256. Actually, only 255 because he didn't have a US dollar. I should have made him give me the 20 pesos.
Then, I had to walk back. I went past our place and into a shop that I had been in a few days earlier. They had a table cloth and a summer dress that I wanted, so I got it and went on back home.
I finished packing up stuff outside and sat down with a cold beer. Very refreshing.
At 6 pm Bella and I left to go pick Rob up in san jose del cabo. the moon was coming up as we were leaving. It was a beautiful reddish orange and it was casting an orange streak on the water as it was rising. I pulled over twice to take picutres. Unfortunately the pictures do not do it justice.
You c!an see the orange on the water, but the moon looks white
We arrived at the airport at 7:30. Rob's flight was due in at 7:45 so I parked and waited. I started getting a bit concerned when at 8:05 I still hadn't heard from him. He finally called and a few minutes later we were re united. Ahhhhhh.
I drove us home and he told me all about his horrendous flight up to Seattle and having to extend his legal duty day time and flight time. about how it was snowy with little visibility and the ILS was out and landing on a slippery, slushy runway and then having to wait out on the taxi way for an hour and a half because there were no empty gates due to all the cancelled flights. Phew!
Then the next day it was still snowy and icy and it took them 8 hours to get from Seattle to Hawaii, battling head winds the whole way. I must sat, he definately earned his last couple years pay over the past couple days.
He was still pretty wound up when we got home at 9:30 ish. I sat and had a beer with him until I was too tired and cold to stay up any longer. I seem to be an 8:30 bedtime gal now since we've been down here. There just doesn't seem to be anything left to do once the sun goes down
