San Carlos at Last


We had a fairly easy trip from Tucson to San Carlos on Sunday.  The customs declaration was easy as the officials were polite and courteous.  We had to pay a duty of 1057 pesos on the furniture we had in the truck, but we expected that.  We received a green light and did not have to unload the Dodge, and for that we were extremely grateful.

We arrived at 2:15 after a 7 hour drive to a clean house.  We had let Chuyita [our housekeeper] know when we were arriving so she prepared the best she could. 

We spent the first afternoon unloading a few necessary items and getting groceries from the Santa Rosa.  We walked across to the Fiesta real for an excellent meal ranging from a Waldorf salad to chicken and fish.  

Eleanor was exhausted and ready for bed at 7:30 and I wasn't too far behind.  We justified the early bedtime with the time change.

Glad to hear you arrived safely. It's starting to warm up a bit here but you're lucky to be in sunny San Carlos rather that in arctic Eatonia!!
Hope Fred made it thru the snow storm in Las Vegas without too many problems.
