Parting

A cool and windy day. Claude and Suzanne worked like beavers breaking camp. They are ahead of schedule but are not leaving early-just taking advantage of crappy beach weather to get ready. Claude does not have to be back at work until February 2nd so they will have a leisurely trip home and a few days to get settled. I will surely miss them. Next season- "God willing."

I had a good gab with Lori this a.m. and it was about all I felt up to. I awoke tired and eventually cured that with a long nap. As a cold front is predicted and I haven't seen heater one in the bath-houses, I took advantage of the relative warmth for a long hot shower. It may have to last a few days. My own shower, like many of the showers in the camp's RV's has been given over to storage.

I took a trip to Mc Donald's to activate a new WiFi finding program I downloaded to my iPod touch. A gift from Jason and Lori, the new iPod has been gaining my gadget loving affection. It is essentially an Apple iPhone without the phone-but it has wifi connectivity. Video, music, maps, calendar, clocks, email, calculator, contacts, browswer in an instant and in your pocket. The new wifi app needed a "registered hot spot" to find my location. My homegrown hotspot doesn't count. It worked. Shopped at El Presidente. I think there is a bit of a "pushback" against the "English only" crowd. I was pretty sure the ladies at the deli counter were having a joke at my ignorant of Spanish expense the other day. Today when I asked for a pound of shrimp, I was informed I wanted "one livre." It was done with a smile but the message was clear- I was in "Spanish America." I have been processing this experience. I am half-amused and half ticked off.
