Thursday mornings the Ex-Pats get together for breakfast and share stories. There are perhaps a dozen people that are there on any given Thursday. They are all older people (even older than we are) who have decided to make their homes here. Most of them because it is a cheaper place to live. A little social security goes a much longer distance here.
Today we were invited to travel with Carl and his wife, Clare and friend Patsy to Chimal to shop at the Max Bodegona and a small mall. We did just a bit of shopping because we also had our laundry in Antigua. We all ate lunch together and Carl dropped us and our laundry at our door. We had a very good time and now also have our laundry done to boot! Tomorrow and Saturday we will pack our stuff up for the move to the Lake Atitlan area and beyond.
The meeting with John from Child Aid was canceled as we pulled up to our door. He is too far out to get back at this point but will drop by to pick up the computer Don worked on for him. The computer in John's home office will not be optimized this trip. Don prefers not to work on Saturday.
Sunday we will go to church then we will have lunch with the two priests which will probably be followed by another procession. This time we will not be available as a pick pocket victim. We shall go prepared and not carry anything we don't want to loose. Monday we will be on a pullman bus bright and early.
