January 26th

The wind came up last night causing the awning to flap enough that we felt it was a good idea to bring it in. The wind was calm this morning so it was safe to extend the awning once more.  With mostly sunny days and temperatures in the mid 80s an awning is essential, especially if its on the same side of the RV as the refrigerator.

Today was market day and we took our tape measure and camera so we could measure the dimensions of sinks for my sister. We also took pictures of several of them so she could let us know her choice if she decides she wants us to buy one for her.  Not much new in the market but we did buy another blanket with a Mayan design plus a couple of hats for myself.  We stopped at our favorite restaurant on the way home for lunch. As with every Thursday, the place was packed with all the gringos in town for the market.  During lunch we were entertained by a Street Band who were quite talented.

Also stopped at a local dentist to make an appointment to get my teeth cleaned. They're busy as well as the earliest appointment was Feb. 6th at 5:00pm.  This is the same dentist that Diane went to shortly after we arrived here in December.  The first impression you get when seeing the waiting room and reception area is professional, modern and clean.  More so than some of the dental offices we've seen north of the border. I'll report on how the dental work was following my appointment.
