Thursday, July 4

Today we did very little! We woke up late and went down to the café to eat. Well, first we took advantage of the shower for about an hour. It seems to take about three showers to get two weeks of kayaking gunge off my body. A little food and coffee, then we went to find the bus station to buy Mike a ticket for Loreto tomorrow. The bus station was about two kilometers away – a nice walk. We bought Mike a ticket for 10:30am tomorrow, then walked back to the hotel. We stopped at the laundry to clean our clothes and to check our email. What a great idea to combine laundry with email service! The lady there was very helpful with both. I called Heidi a couple times but she wasn’t there. I did get to talk to Mom and Gail. Then we returned to the hotel to have a couple beers in the pool. Later we went to the Chinese place across the street. This was the first non-Mexican food I have had in three months and it tasted great! There was a problem with flies and the girl walked circles around the table waving a menu at the flies. We went out to Cabo Wabo to listen to a little music. We are about out of money so we didn’t spend too much on beer. I want Mike to have a good supply of cash when he goes to Loreto. There is not too much happening for Independence Day, but it made me feel good to be here for the Fourth of July.
