It isn't always cloudy in the mornings, and yesterday was one of those perfectly blue, sparkling days with Costa Ricans (Ticos, as they are called here) grouped in large family bunches along the beach, grandmas on chairs under umbrellas, babies splashing chubby legs in the water, boys surfing and boogie boarding, and clusters of women, poking through the shells, strolling, always chattering and all enjoying this week of complete shut-down for a soul like me who needs a lawyer to issue me some legitimate documentation before ICE, the electric company, will put on my electricity. Don't MESS with the institutions like ICE! If you have a $4.00 invoice, PAY UP.
Batteries on my flashlight are running low, and I bought some more yesterday, thinking they looked big and fat enough, but alas, they are Cs, and I need Ds. There's the project for today. Life is rough down here...
Filled up the hummingbird feeder, but they seem to be onto me; nary a one has set its little beak into one of those fake red flowers! I wait and I watch.
