Well, no more bad mouthing Mexicans about using the word Manana because when the Machine shop said Manana he meant it. He called this morning and said to pick up the Tow Bar and so myself and Bob jumped in the car and picked it up. The cost was 50.00 Cdn. I would guess a minimum of 2 hours labour plus parts in Canada would have been a 400.00 bill.
Since today is Market Day in the nearby town of La Penita we ventured there to pick up some fruit and vegetable. As usually there are a throng of people, which included many of us Gringos looking for a bargain. Beside the fruits and veggies Carroll purchased an oversize table cloth for our daughter in law ( there table is 55 X 100 ) and I'm not sure it was a bargain.
After shopping in the hot sun for an hour and a half it was time to meet our friends at one of the local "Watering Hole" of which there are many. However the place was full and there was no room at our friends table due to the crowd so I found a table that only had a couple sitting at it so we invited ourselves to join them. They were a "younger" couple from Kakabeka Falls ON near Thunder Bay whom were in Guayabitos for 3 week as they still work to pay for our pensions. Actually it was nice to talk to other people and swap stories over a beer or in Carroll's case; over a Lemonade.
To close out the day we hosted a happy hour for our new friends from Brandon ( D and D ) and Dave and Joanne dropped by as they had a supper date after our happy hour. Cheers
