Went to Merida for one night and ended up staying for two. We tried a new hotel -- Hotel Casa Yucatan. We won't need to go back there. The location was great and they were pet friendly, but I think it has been a while since the staff has met a dustmop or a scrub brush. Our room was right on the street and it was very noisy -- all night long. The second night we went back to Casa Carmita. Unfortunately, there was no one there to meet us. We rang the bell and pounded on the door. Another guest let us into the grounds and they probably weren't very happy about that. I know that they leave the keys in the doors so I started looking for an unoccupied room. Found one that was a single -- that's not a big enough bed for the three of us so I kept looking. Just like Goldilocks. Found a room that was more to our needs so I started moving us in when Justin went to park the car. We were just about all settled in when Miguel showed us apologetically. It was only a minor inconvenience. Our biggest goal for this trip was to make sure we came home with a stove top. Thankfully we also found a guy to cover our cushions for our couch and he will also make two love seats for us. He will come out to our house in early January to measure not only the cushions, but also the closets AND the kitchen. We were very impressed with this guy and his team.
Went to visit Alonso and Antonio. Paid part of our bill with Alanso and got the car paperwork and my passport back from them too. What a cluster! Bijon is turning out to be quite the piece of work. He has refused to pay his part of the closing costs with Alonso - about $1,880. Most of this bill is for services that bring the corporation records up to being current. This should have been done during the last twelve years. Alonso has suggested that we with hold that amount from Peter's commission. Alonso must be paid 100% before he will file the papers. Peter is stuck in the middle and there is no way he should be penalized. Of course we need to stay in the good graces of our lawyer and of course we will take care of Peter. Yes, we did get a great deal on this place and no, we didn't pay hardly any rent when we stayed here all last winter. It is the principle of the matter. And now we see yet again why lawyers get such a bad name.
Another northern came in and hit Celestun. Great waves; Erich would like it but there has been incredible damage to the beach. Meanwhile, I have the croop. I've been coughing and sputtering for days while alternating chills and fever. Will Justin get it too?
