Monday 3/18/13
Today Sal and Barb took a group
of us (Dale, Judy, Jerry, Paula, Peter, Madeline and me) to Sahuayo de
Morelos, about a 45 minute drive to the East and a tad North. It is the largest city for shopping in this region actually located in the state of Michocan.
We went to shop at Bodega Aurrera (owned by Walmart). There’s also a Soriana and lots and
lots of smaller shops and businesses.
I bought a hand-held vacuum (Mexican brand: Koblenz) for the Dolphin (still need a name for her)
and some more plastic storage containers, bungie cords, non-alcoholic beer
(Sol) and a few supplies.
They had wanted to take us to a
very nice restaurant right off the central park but it was closed – because it's Monday and it's also a holiday [not sure what holiday]; so,
instead we stopped in a little very simple restaurant with a limited menu of
“tortas,” kind of a grilled sandwich reminiscent of a panini. I had bistec (carne de res), shredded
beef that was absolutely delicious with cheese, tomatoes, avocados and sliced
pickled carrots with jalapeño, served on a flat darkly browned roll and freshly
squeezed orange juice to drink. Yum.
I’m hopefully going to be able
to upload pix to my computer as soon as I find out why my iPhoto Library is
frozen – I need technical support but without wi-fi for the Mac I can’t Skype or
try to ‘chat’ with Applecare.
Frustrating, but I’m also very appreciative of the Dell computer Barb
loaned me; at least I can surf and do email and banking stuff.
I spent some time this evening
surfing C Class RV sales; the time I spend in mine the more I like it. Some of the improvements I’d like to
make:
* update the two large side
windows and kitchen window – rubber edging, screens, locking mechanisms, etc.
* buy all new window coverings /
shades – no more leveler blinds
* need to decide whether I want
to replace valances or go without
* need to decide what I want to
do with the drapes in the cab-over area on the small windows and also the
privacy drape for the whole cab-over area and driving area
* need better privacy screening for cab area: front windshield
area and also side windows
* need new screen door –
hopefully one with a more simple closing mechanism
* need new side door locks –
bolt and key locks
* need shade for door window for
privacy
* need cabinetry refinished
* need to check out
possibilities for installation of all tile flooring / all new carpeting / other
possibilities
* need more convenient plywood
storage cover (couch) – maybe one that has some mechanism for holding it open
when need be
* need new upholstery on couch –
and possibly banquette seats too
* need exterior awnings
* need to check on possibility
of storage rack on back of vehicle
* need to check on storage
possibilities for roof of vehicle
* need new storage container for
front driving area – one that doesn’t slip out of place and holds cans and
materials securely
* may try to personalize front
driving area for only one driver – maybe storage on front passenger floor area
* need to make windshield visors
stay in place when not in use
* need to address mobility needs
