I tried some special effects on this photo of Bucerias Beach.


Martes, Febrero Veinti tres, Dos Mil Diez
7:50am I arrived at Panino’s. After completing my homework last night, I knew I was going to be trading this morning. Met Carlos from Mexico City, who speaks very good English compared to my poor excuse for Espanol. Lol I was the first one there, probably because they weren’t open yet. I like their café and Carlos kept the bottomless cup filled.(22p) After responding to the usual emails, I posted several new blog entries. There was a good connection. I decided on the bacon, egg, and cheese filled bagel. It was huge! Came with a small portion of fruit and some spicy sauce. 39 pesos, but it will be two meals. Highly recommended.
The only complaint I have with Panini’s is that they don’t have an AC connection. This became crucial at 8:40am about 10 minutes after the stock market opened. I got to my account, verified my homework, and placed the GTC option trade. ENTER. The trade was partially filled in the first 2 seconds, but it took another minute for the remainder to be filled. As soon as it was…..BAM…blank screen. My battery was gone.. Great news! A successful trade.
Una mas café con leche, por favor. Y la cuenta, por favor? Y desayuno para llevar, por favor? (one more coffee with milk, the check please, and the remainder of my breakfast to go, please) Feeling pretty good, I took a few beach photos, and hiked home.
Time to work on my self-imposed writing assignment. Then Siesta!
2:30pm and want to get to the office before the market closes. A potential trade on the horizon. Here is where it would benefit my trading if I had ensuite internet. Top of the list, next year.
4:30pm, homework done and saved. (so I thought) Time for a cerveza and a walk. Hit the street vendor for a movie, and was pleased to see that his collection had Sherlock Holmes.(25p) Found a corner tienda, Abarrotes America with Mary working. 10p for a Corona. (4p deposit, if you took the bottle) Enjoyed it on the stairs and then headed to the Shamrock.
Natalie and Gil were working, appears to have been a very busy lunch/afternoon crowd. 22 days till St. Patty’s Day. Had a few and headed home, stopping once again at the sweet shop. Not sure what I bought or how to spell it, but for 30p, I had to try it. It was also a huge portion, perhaps enough for 3 or 4.
Sherlock Holmes, with Robert Downey Jr.…fantastic! The dessert turned out to be a raisin bread pudding. How appropriate. Incredible and coupled with the movie….I loved it! Finished my 2nd fiction book, The Alibi Man. Not bad!
Buenos Noches!
