Today I had a free shower at the clinic. Actually, I had my teeth cleaned, but there was so much water spraying everywhere, it was like I had a shower! Yup, for those of you who hate paying for dental work, it was $25 to have my teeth cleaned. I found out later that since it was my first cleaning, Castillo's clinic doesn't charge you anything! Ha! I like that deal!
I boogied back to the hotel & made my way straight to the Post Office. Of course, today was April 15th, when all the Americans have to have their papers ($$) to the IRS (I think). So, 1.5 hrs later I had my boxes shipped! The queue was about 30 people deep & after I was served, it was a little longer! The Customs forms want a very detailed account of what is in the boxes. Each form only has 4 lines. I had 25 different items. Yeah. I took a little while!
After the post office ordeal, it was down town to return a few things & hopefully find a weigh scale that worked! I stopped in at City Dog & took back the astro turf that never did seduce Valentina into using it. I then headed to Abercrombie & Fitch & found Jaco a sweet deal on a shirt & hoodie. ($12 for the shirt & $20 for the hoodie) I then found a weigh scale with a 1 yr warranty! Yay!
My day was slightly dimmed when a creepy dude named Willie tried to pick me up at the trolley stop - gold teeth, dreadlocks, red shirt & red shorts - tempting, but NO!!!! Oh where for art thou Jaco?!? Then his buddy proceeded to 'slyly' take photos of my backside on his cell phone. Lord help me get home safely! I have never been so happy to see that Blue Line Trolley come rolling along!
I was up until 0245 packing. Yup. Another 2 boxes to ship tomorrow. My luggage weighed 35 lbs each. Surely to goodness that would keep me underweight for the flight tomorrow? SURELY.
Dulce Suenos,
