Another Happy Hour!!!

Well Jerry and I still are enjoying the cruisers rally and all the Happy Hours!!!  On Tuesday the 15th we had happy hour and appetizers at restaurant Acajulta.  Earlier that day we pulled our dinghy out onto the dock to do some patch repairs and clean all the sand out from the last couple of dinghy landings in Chiapas.  So we were excited to take our dinghy up the estuary to the restaurant Acajulta, Clause and Lou from SV Whiteshell went with us.  So around 4 we all piled into our red dinghy and started heading up to the restaurant.  No one was quite sure how far up it was, so there were 3 dinghy's just cruising along keeping an eye out for the place.  Once we saw 5 other dinghy's all rafted up, we knew we were there.

How you enjoying El Salvador?

Yummy dinner Jerry!!

Lobster...yeah mine looks better!!

On Wednesday Jerry and I attempted again to go to San Salvador to get Jerry's back molar pulled.  This time we had Jean on Mita Kuuluu arrange Jose, the taxi driver, to pick us up and take us to the appointment.  For $80 us dollars Jose took us all over, first the dentist. The first dentist did not extract teeth, but for only $25 he did a consult and 2 x-rays.  The dentist himself took Jerry to the other oral surgeon, where Jerry got local anaesthetics, the tooth pulled and stitches all for only $65.  I am now thinking of getting my teeth cleaned while we are here.  After the dentist Jose took us to the mall, a couple of marine stores, ACE hardware, grocery shopping, a solar store (unfortunately they did not have the panel that we are looking for), and even gave us a tour of the historical part of San Salvador.  We got back to the marina around 4pm, just in time for chicken BBQ at Jan's.  Jan came here 7 years ago on her boat, wanted to stay 5 days, and now she lives on the island across the estuary and teaches english in the local school for an hour everyday.

dinner line

Are you hungry?

Ben from SV Lisa Kay played for us after dinner

Jerry and I started to take spanish lessons through Claudia, one of the hotel managers.  After the first time Jerry decided he was going to pass on the lessons, but I am still trying.  So in a couple of weeks hopefully I will be able to communicate better.
