Shopping Day followed by pool time

Man ; is it every quiet and lazy around this place. This Condo complex houses 12 Condos per building and there are 16 buildings which surrounds a beautiful pool area complete with a Bar , if there was anyone to serve. The grounds are a lush green with more staff then occupants. So far we have met/seen 3 single seniors all male which includes our Condo owner and the owner of the Bar plus another man from Montreal.
Last evening  at the pool checking our email we seen another couple so we said Hello and that was the end of the conversation. He talked on his cell phone for over an hour and she was doing exercises. There was another couple in the pool 2 nights ago  but they did not speak either of our official languages.

Earlier in the day we seen Mario , our condo owner and advised him the  Condo lack a few necessities like a decent frying pan so he said the next time you go shopping buy what you need and give me the bill. We then ask him to call us a cab for a one PM pickup and to advise the Taxi that we wanted to go to the Market and then to the grocery store and that he had to stay with us.


When we got to our parking area for the pickup I notice a black Van not the white one I expected. Then the security guard came running with his cell phone , handing it to me so I knew that something went off the rails. The original taxi could make it so he sent a friend , which was OK except he did not speak any English. We agree on a price before I would get in the Taxi and I'm sure he wanted more than my offer.

First we went tot the Market to buy fruit and Veggie as they are much cheaper then the Store. However, the market "ambiances" is at  least two levels below Mexico. We did purchase all the Veggies and fruit that we needed. Then went tot the grocery store and spend another 3000 P ( 90.00 Cdn ). The taxi driver had a discount card so use it again and saved another 10%.

In the afternoon we spend 2 hours at the pool ( by our self) as expected. The pool is not heated but it doesn't need to be as the sun keeps it at a nice temp.  Cheers
