3/2/15

I had seen some women doing yoga the other day so I wanted to figure out when they started and did today on the 'net'. We rushed off the boat and I was able to join them at 830 for an hour which was great. It wasn't too hard and not too easy either. Then Paul went to drop off the canvas we have that needs a little repair and we met up after for coffee with the other cruiser at their 'club'. They have coffee every morning after the net I told you about before. They have a ton of books and dvds you can borrow or trade. We met up with a retired chiropractor who we thought had worked more down here but it was still nice for Paul to talk to him and network some. We also met a lady who said there is a massage therapist who works out of her apartment who would love to meet Paul so that is good. It is hard though because we want to leave but kind of stay, we don't know. We will at least leave for the island for a week or so pretty soon. 

After that we came back for lunch and a nap which was great, we kind of have a routine which bores me in a way but I know I have nothing to complain about. It rained while we slept so we had to close the boat up. Then while cleaning up our neighbor with a 55 ft catamaran came over to ask if we'd like to come over for tea (he is Australian) so we of course said yes and headed over. What a boat. It is bigger than our old apartment. It has 4 rooms and at least 2-3 bathrooms, a nice living area, table and chairs, full kitchen, washer/dryer. I was blown away. I had been in one before but only at a boat show and those are even more incredible because they are brand new and perfectly set. Anyways, we had a great time, he is so nice (his wife flew back to Australia for a bit). Once Oliver started being destructive we left but not after jumping on the nets in the front, I got a good picture of Oliver. It has been overcast today but it's a nice break honestly from the hot sun. Then we had a light supper and headed on land to run around before bed.

We saw a Sea Shepherd boat!! We tried to make a donation of a case of Pacifico but they couldn't have beer on the boat:( They are up here doing research on the worlds smallest dolphin which is going extinct.

I was sick the last two days and still am today but getting better. Nothing too terrible but either a runny nose or a lot of congestion and a sore throat. I didn't even leave the boat for almost 48 hours. Then after supper Paul tells me he feels like he is going throw up and he did on/off for a few hours before being able to fall asleep. Poor Oliver both parents sick. Luckily yesterday when Paul woke up he felt fine. Oliver has no signs of anything and I haven't thrown up so whatever Paul ate his body specifically rejected. 

We walked around town since Paul needed to get one of our radios fixed and we found a really pretty cathedral which was having a lot of work done.

We also found...drumroll please...a Dairy Queen. I was so happy, I love that place and am not in favor of a lot of sugar, especially if you are sick, but I couldn't resist. It was a great surprise and treat.

We are trying to figure out our game plan. I think we will for sure leave La Paz within the next 3 days. We are having our neighbor over tomorrow for supper and then as long as everyone is in good health we should be free to go. 

We are also emailing some marinas to try to see if we can leave our boat there for hurricane season and fly back to Minnesota to stay for those months (and work) and then do one more season so we can get down towards Costa Rica and what not. We will see, just trying to see what our options are. I would really like to be able to see family and friends, I miss everyone:)
