Glasses
Since we arrived Judy has been in a slump, not feeling well. She was kinda okay the first day, but spent that night, the second day and last night in bed with a headache and dizy. Lulu told her that she was down for three days after their passage. Maybe she will be back to herself in a couple of days. I sure hope so. Today she decided to go with me to town. We walked in about three miles and she had to rest often. I could tell she wasn't steady on her feet when we left, but she insisted on going. On our passage she laid her new glasses on the salon table when she went to sleep. Of course they were not there when she woke up, as the rollers were tossing the boat around alot. I found them under the bunk with one of the arms broken off. It was soldered on, in China of course, and very poorly done. It broke off by simply falling about two feet to the floor. We found a frame store and asked if they could resolder them. They said they could not be repaired due to the way they were constructed. A long story short. Judy got new frames for her glasses (much nicer looking) for 500 Pesos. That converts to $41.86 American folks. That included the price of the frames, removing the old lenses, and fitting them to the new frames.
