It is a dark, cold and dreary day
here so far in Mazatlan .
In fact it is 8:00 and we still have the little heater on to keep the chill
off. And according to the weather forecast it will be ugly and only in the low
70s most of the week. No parasailing.
I bought some more Häagen-Dazs ice
cream the other day at Soriana. The flavor
is Baileys. Supposed to taste like Baileys Irish Cream. And IT DOES. OMG
it is delicious. I got to wondering what it would taste like to put a scoop of
it in a glass of Chocolate Wine and top with whipped cream. Haven’t tried it
yet but sure sounds good.
Had to make another run to TelCel
yesterday as the Banda Ancha suddenly told us – no more GBs – you have to
recharge it. What? We paid for 3GBs just last week. I checked my usage and had
only used a little over 400 mega bites. What the? Well we got another lesson in
Banda Ancha service. We found out that when we bought the GBs last week the
customer service guy did not activate it and when it is not activated it costs
1 peso per bite used. So the 400 pesos we paid were used up already. We were
told we should have used our TelCel phone to call 50/50 to activate time for
the Banda Ancha????? We’ve never had to do that before. And besides we don’t
have a TelCel phone. Bill was a little – whole lot – pissed off especially when
they said we should have used our phone. What phone? Just a little
misunderstanding of their system on our part and a lack of communication on
their part. So another 400 pesos for another 3GBs of ACTIVATED Internet time –
should last us until we are out of Mexico . And then we’ll just have to
deal with getting our Verizon MiFi service back up and running. Things were so
much simpler before all this new fangled technology – do I sound like an old
fart?
From there we went to Soriana to
get a take out pizza – theirs are pretty good. Ordered pepperoni and pineapple
but they didn’t have any pineapple. Hum? A grocery store? But guess they can’t
just get it from the produce or canned sections. Brought it home and shared it
with George who was kind of like a hermit yesterday – staying inside with the
door closed all day.
I watched the lap by lap
information on the Nationwide race – my driver blew his engine 20 laps from the
end – which might have been lucky for him as he was right up near the front all
day and would probably been caught up in that horrible wreck in the last lap.
What a mess. I think if I’d been Kyle Larsen's mother I’d have thrown up when I
saw his car even though he was okay. And today for the big race it might rain.
Wonder if they will let Montoya out on the track if they have to have the track
dryers out there? (last year he hit one and set it and the track on fire - long long delay to the race.)
We’re supposed to go out to dinner
tonight with a couple of friends – out to the Plazuela Machado. I hope it’s not
windy as the restaurant is outside seating.
Been reading a whole series of
Danielle Steele books lately. I used to read her a lot then stopped. I find I
can skip whole pages without missing any of the story. Think I’ll go back to mysteries
and who done its.
I’m also diligently working on my
necklace – I now have 7 of the 30 sections done.
