A Walk Through The Neighborhood--Part Two
We had a nice evening last night with some new acquaintances, who have their boat on the "hard" (land) at the marina seca (dry marina) here in Guaymas. They came over and we visited for awhile before we headed out to dinner at La Barca. Strangely enough the biting bugs were bad at the restaurant (outdoor under a palapa roof), which was a first. For this reason we didn't linger too long over dinner as both she and I were getting eaten alive. The men were not being bothered at all by them. I can only assume that it is because of the recent rains that they were so bad. Anyway we returned to our apartment and visited some more.
Not too much exciting going on today, so thought that we would continue on our walk through our neighborhood. I could not get blogger to upload the photos so I am putting them in from webshots. Slightly more time consuming and I hope that you can still click on them to enlarge when I am finished. Our connection seems to be slow this morning so that could be the problem.
This is where we both get our haircuts, it is about 3 1/2 blocks from home.
This according to the sign is supposed to be a butcher shop; but the times when I have been in there it is more of a vegetable shop, so I think they have changed their speciality.
This is the laundromat where we do our laundry, it is about 5 blocks from us.
On the corner by the laundromat there used to be a second hand shop, I used to go and look around while I was waiting for the laundry to wash. One day it closed and shortly thereafter a paint shop opened up in the same space. There was already a paint shop right across the street from them.
This is the other paint shop right across the street from the newer one.
On the corner right beside the paint shop above is a pharmacy where they also have a medico that you can consult with for 25 pesos (about $2.50). Upstairs in the pharmacy building is another hairdresser where I have also gotten a haircut while waiting for the laundry to finish.
Many more places to see in our neighborhood, return tomorrow for the next installment.
