May 22nd: Another Rest Day
Day 221
Our calorie party continues with pancakes for breakfast. Unfortunately Cher, intoxicated by the bounty, began giddily flipping pancakes only to let her hand slide down handle onto the super-heated metal. She got a nasty burn. We cooled, cleaned and covered it as soon as possible and already she has a big fat blister.
We stuffed ourselves with burritos for lunch and dinner and Marco cooked us an after-dinner dinner, and bought two bottles of red wine to see us off.
We checked out his tent and we have to say that it was quite luxurious. He has a fan, a computer, and a large covered sitting area. I caught a large beetle, one of the many large creepy crawlies that we can’t identify. Having finished two bottles of wine I had to make a run to the bathroom and was fortunate to have the wherewithal to check my shoe where I found another large creepy crawly inside my shoe.
Despite the creepy crawlies this was a wonderful place to live. Perfectly clear views of the stars at night, including the milky way, gorgeous sunsets and spectacular sunrises. Living here would definitely add several years to your life, if you don’t have any insect phobias.
