April 1

Now scorpions! Adding scorpions to the list! Ryan and Fuzz were in the garage and they moved a piece of wood and there was an evil little fucker there beside a dead gecko. Now we cannot falsely accuse the scorpion of killing the gecko, the investigation is ongoing, but I’m pretty confident the jury will come back with a guilty plea. And it is difficult to try a dead scorpion but there may be some closure for the geckos family. 🦎 🦂 (that is a court drawing of the suspect and the victim)

While the trial was occurring in the garage we enjoyed massages by the pool. My goal in life is to have so much money that getting a massage by the pool is not newsworthy but, alas, it remains newsworthy 🤷🏼‍♀️. Jen learned how to play backgammon and then promptly beat Brian and I - but I think there is an earthquake in the forecast so I’m not too worried about her chances in the next game.

We went out for supper to Kinuh (pronounced Canoe) and the boys were grumpy about going out for an “expensive” supper. We had a wonderful supper - Ryan ordered the Catch of the Day, which was a fish we had never heard of. We googled it and it was STILL a fish we had never heard of. Jen and I, thinking we are now native to Mexico added a little too much habanero to our suppers so we have that to look forward to later today...... Anyway our “expensive” supper that included 3 cosmos, a bottle of red, 2 mojitos and 6 grey goose and sodas as well as desserts came to $3000 Pesos. $214 Canadian. That’s it. I think if we went for a supper for 6 to Dairy Queen we would be looking at that much! To put it in perspective, we had supper at Prairie Creek in before we left (our pre-holiday party) and that bill was $11,800 pesos. 

I think we are maturing - our holiday is far more about the food than the drinks. We have organized a Mexican girl to cook for us on Wednesday night. She spoke no English and we speak limited Spanish so all I can confirm is that we are eating shrimp and ceviche. 

Anyway, we have rented jet skis for the day today - Kim is VERY stressed about it. I’ll keep you posted.
