Burgers

Yesterday we went to town to try and find a bulb for a bow light that burned out on our trip down. One was located at the fourth and last marine supply in La Paz. It is a bit difficult getting parts here at times. While out we ate a burger at a local eatery, where the hamburger meat actually tasted like real ground beef. Don't get me wrong, the food here is great, but sometimes you start jonesing for an American burger and fries. The burger and fries with a margarita and a non-alcholic beer ran a little over $23.00. That's about the same as we paid for an equivelent burger in Eugene OR. We tried a less expensive place that had good burgers with all the trimings, but the meat didn't taste quite like real hamburger meat. Their fries were excellent though. Okay enough about food, that's Steves department  and I will infringe no more. He is much better at it anyway. In case you wish to read his and Lulu's blog, here is the link.  http://yodersafloat.blogspot.com/

Judy and I also went to the local Mercado downtown. It actually has butcher shops where they cut your meat the way you want it. Just like the, now non-existant, independent butcher shops used to do in America. But then that was back when Americans could get real service at the local shops. Now that the big corporations have taken over, it seems that the American business's have a "take it or leave it" attitude.

We also got rid of an extra sail that was a bit short and just taking up valuable space in the boat. When we returned to the boat after walking around in the heat all morning, it was siesta time. I think I can get used to this lifestyle. After the siesta, it was back to reading our books, without the fishing this time. Today I have to get serious about getting the boat ready for our island hop to our next port. I am still having problems getting the VHS to transmit on high, so will address that issue today. I know the problem is 12 volt power related. I will also install the newly aquired bulb for the bow light. After that? Why, siesta time of course! Maybe even a little fishing! Damn, this is such a hard life down here.
