Journal Entry – Friday November 12, 2004 – TGIF

Author: Pam

TGIF is a concept that no longer has any real meaning to us, we barely mange to keep up with the date and day of the week. Today we did have one errand to accomplish because it is Friday and the rest of the world keeps to that workweek schedule. Since we intend to move on towards La Paz this weekend we needed to checkout with Immigration and the Port Capitain. We also needed to fuel up and take on water. We decided to divide and conquer, so Pam and Amy charmed their way through the bureaucracy while Scott and Abe fueled up Tournesol. Since we had the chance to get water, and the boat was bone dry, Pam had us fill the water tanks, jerry cans, sun shower, and bug shower (equaling 138 gallons of fresh water.

The boat was well fed with fuel and water, and Pam and Amy got checked out in record time, including Pam forging Scott’s signature five times in front of the Immigration officer (a smile goes a long way in Mexico).

Lunch was a real treat. Abe and Amy took us to a little Taqueria that looked like a family added on to their house and run the business in the front yard. Tacos are about one US dollar or 100 pesos. These tacos rank among the best that Scott has ever had in Mexico.
