It is all over for the Astros. They gave it their all, but no cigar.
On the phone with HSBC — my, oh, my.
Pilates had started and Justin was already gone to the beach with the dogs before my phone call concluded. Nothing was resolved, but we’d been on the phone for well over an hour. Later, as I was walking
the last Pilates participant to the gate, Antonio arrived. He was here to look at our kitchen and give us an estimate on cabinets. I talked with him for about 15 minutes before Aholi arrived. Justin and I did a handoff so I could jump in the shower and have
a massage. An hour and a half later, another hand off — Justin drove Aholi home while I finished with Antonio.
It was now 1pm. Justin had promised to drive Tom and Meche to the bus station. They have sold their house and this was the last time leaving Celestun. Sure, they will come back to visit, but for now,
we needed to send them on their way. Instead of taking them to the station, we drove them to Merida since we needed to go pay for the solar water heaters. We’ve learned that one can’t pay for anything over then phone with credit card in Mexico. Instead,
you need to transfer money from your bank to theirs. Since I’m still hitting the wall with HSBC, we can’t move the money and we have to go to the store. The sale is significant and the price goes back up tomorrow ... hence the trip to Merida. We got back
into Celestun about 6:30. It was after dark and thankfully our trip was uneventful.
Of particular note is that Tom and Meche's house is also called Casa Colibri. You can see the tile motif in the background... that is the Mayan glyph for colibri. Meche gave me the template she used. I can see this in fabric... pillows for the beds in each of the rooms... wall hanging...
