Market Day

Thursday is Market Day in La Penita, the neighboring town. We did not make it there yesterday but did the week before with Patti and Sam. I always love to look, but not buying anything yet. Still a lot of our trip to do, and many of theses items we will see at their source. Since we are carrying our backpacks this trip (no rolling wheels for me) I am being very careful about adding extra stuff early in the trip.
Tuesday morning our hotel posted a sign warning about a town wide outbreak of stomach flu and unfortunately we both have gotten it. We are slowing down even more (is that even possible?? ... this is already life in the slow lane) and taking it easy and eating lots of fresh fruits and liquids while we recover. Lots of reading and sleeping in the sun and shade. Nice to know that it is a real virus and we aren't just wimps that couldn't handle our hot sauce or Margaritas.
We have decided to stay here on the beach in the warmth with easy access to lots of markets and services until we are completely recovered. Traveling by bus in Mexico is strenuous and stressful and our next stop will be into the cool of winter in the mountains and we need to be healthy before we move on.
Sam and Patti left on Monday and are back in the Northwest. We miss them but are glad they had a good time and were able to get toasty and relaxed while they were here. We are still unable to fully comprehend that we are not on a tight schedule and can take our time. I guess it takes a while to really "get" that.  Hope all is well with everyone.
