School's out

Today was my last day at school.  We have been attempting some more conversation these past two days and so my brain is really fried now.  The underlying message is ‘keep it simple’ and not to get too hung up on trying to get what you say 100% correct – the general meaning will likely get through (Vanesa: I am bringing the text book back; we have lots of work ahead of us!!) On our way back home we called in to what I can only describe as a “roadside café” for lunch.  A place literally on the side of the highway from Playa to PA with plastic tables and chairs and a makeshift kitchen and roof although I understand it has been there for a couple of years.  We had two tacos and two burritos plus a pop each all for ~$6 and it was excellent.  Unfortunately I did not have the camera with me but the food was so nice that we will probably be back and I will try to remember to take photos next time.
We had workmen at the condo from 11am through to around 4pm; we had insect screens fitted on our living room patio doors and on the front bedroom window (the original ones did not fit properly), a new lock on the door to our roof installed and our water heater fitted with a new stand.  Pretty much everything that we wanted to do maintenance-wise has now been completed, which has pleased Malcolm (it stops me nagging about it…).  Maybe it’s time to relax?  The owners of the apartment next door are in PA for a couple of days and we got to meet them for the first time this evening;  two business guys from the US who were more than happy to participate in the customary cervezas on the balcony.
Disfrute el fin de semana
