Friday night, I went with Julieta and Eli to another social event, the opening of Ultrafemme (a kind of Sephora), we got our usual, at this point, pictures from various local papers…it’s very funny and we finished the night at Carlos and Charlies a restaurant/dancing/pub/whatever/ favorite hangout.
I will mention our trip to Soliman Bay famous for a great restaurant on the beach (Oscar y Lalo) and for the lagoon where you can kayak. Well, the water was calm as a lake until we did not decide to start rowing to the next creek and there menacing waves out of nowhere started coming, it did not take long for us to flip over. The kids had life vests but they were a little confused about what was going on. Matthias was not happy and he did not want to row row anymore. Well we were able to get back in, by that time we were at the shore of the lagoon in between rocks and various vegetation. We manage to row a little further from the shore until we were back in the water. Well this time we put only the kids back in the kayak and we just swam. At that point, the rescue team arrives via land and via sea and we were saved!!! We compensate the kids for their courage with a brown ice-cream.
Should I mention our flat tire in the middle of the Carretera (Mexican highway ) fortunately not too far from home, the best part is that the spare tire was flat too…Julieta came to the rescue and after a pilgrimage from tire store # 1, to garage place, to store #2 back to the garage place where of course we were still missing a valve. We were able to solve that last problem with the guy at the garage that sent his helper to buy a valve down the block. After all that we were back with a new tire. At this point we decide to go to Mamita’s to eat at the beach and enjoy a calm afternoon under the sun after so much commotion.
Be aware of the word “Ahorita”, means in a little bit but my radar are always in action when I hear ahorita, it is a indefinable time between 10 second and 1 hour.
