Excitement in the house!!

I woke up in the predawn darkness and groped for my phone to check the time. Couldn't find it in the dark, so I put on my flashlight. Still couldn't find it. Looked outside on the table. slowly, it dawned on me that my Hammock was gone.
Somewhere around this time I noticed Andrew trying to talk to me (I have started sleeping with earplugs the last few nights to screen out the morning roosters and late conversations next door) I removed the earplugs and it turns out we were robbed at around 3 or 4 AM. He saved my hammock. it was lying on the floor.

He lost his surfboard. AND they stole his plastic flipflops. Sheesh!! I must have left my phone on the table outside (bad me!!) the people downstairs lost some swim fins and floats. He was awakened by his dog barking (she never barks) and investigated. The robber(s) fled. They had put a ladder up against the balcony. Maybe to avoid the dog (??? 10 pound wet)

The phone won't work in Mexico because the grid here doesn't support CDMA . I brought another smaller phone for a carry around camera, It has the translator software loaded, but I can't figure out how to set the time off line. I guess I have to buy a watch. And work around coordination when I return home.  I can't activate the other phone until back in the USA.

Life goes on. I ran this morning and now need to do Yoga. Mas tarde.

I contacted Virgin Mobile had had my phone taken out of service. And I changed my Google password. That should take care of security. Any money stuff took place through Gmail and was password protected again at the url involved . Just before I return I'll activate my backup phone and then make the final call from the destination airport when I have coverage. And the phone time reset itself via wifi. go figure!!

The Mercado was not closed for a holiday, but to be fumigated. They do this twice a year, I am told, as a preventative measure. Tomorrow I can shop again.

I ran again this afternoon. belly gotta go. Can't see anything yet  but I sure huff and puff.
