Our car dilemma might just be clearing up. We don’t have a car since we drove. We agreed that we’d learn to navigate public transportation but that might have just been us talking smack. They say the bus from Celestun to Merida takes two hours but we hear it is really more like three. Aaargh! Since we will be here such a short time this winter we really don’t want to spend the money to buy a car just now. I don’t want the drama of the paperwork involved. Aaargh again.
We used the heck out of our rental car. On the first trip, the car was filled to capacity with our luggage, dog food, cleaning supplies and non perishable items. The second trip, the car was filled with foods that require refrigeration, plants and three new pumps. When we got back to Celestun we found we had no water and this time it wasn’t because the municipal water supply was lacking. The third trip was for a new tv since our old one seems to have bitten the dust. Didn’t plan on that expense. Netflix will air two NFL football games on Christmas Day and we want to be able to plant in front of the tube.
And, speaking of football, the Packers ran over the Saints on Monday. The crew was at Bostons to share in the revelry. That locks in the playoffs for the Packers. Vikings next week. We found a new hotel on the Paseo de Montejo, City Express. Close to Boston's, Home Depot and Sam’s. We stumbled across a great little Italian restaurant we will want to be sure to go back to La Trattoria.
Justin has noted that before we had a car and no garage and now we have a garage and no car. We may have found a short term solution. Yesterday we got an Uber to bring us back to Celestun. As I was getting in the car, the driver asked me if I’d be paying with the app or with cash. When Justin got in the car I told him what the driver was offering. We took him up on his offer of a price cut and then asked him if he’d be available for other “as needed” transportation. Our wish list skyrocketed. We asked Antonio to pick us up here in Celestun next Sunday to take us to town then pick us up on Monday for a few errands and a return trip. Please, oh please. I hope this works.
