0710, Fri, 053113.  La Paz.

 

We took off after breakfast and headed by bus out to the hospital to see if Sue's meds had arrived at their pharmacy.  Still no dice.  They have been out of this stuff for some time now.  The lady actually gave Sue a phone number to call so she didn't have to make the trip in.  Back on the bus we got off at the grocery store on the way back and picked up a little of what was needed and then headed back to the marina.  Of course we hit the little tienda at the marina for an ice cream bar then headed back to Neos.  The winds were pretty calm being about mid day so it made it much easier unloading all the groceries. 

The rest of the day was spent computing, the usual.  I don't think I mentioned my find of the other day that I found some relatives in New York.  My Dad's Uncle had mentioned in a letter that he visited some relatives in New York after the war.  He only gave first names so we never knew which side of the family they belonged to.  I found them.  That was pretty kewl. 

Sue looked into car insurance yesterday.  Apparently, when you have a gap in your auto insurance they nick you for a surcharge.  We didn't want that to happen and had heard that we could get non owner auto insurance through a program with the government for vets.  Usually anything neat like that doesn't apply to us who served our country in the National Guard, but this did.  For $11 US  per month, we are both covered.  How kewl is that.  Now when we go back to the States we can say we are continuing insurees instead of new.

Wow, the movie last night was really strange, Cloud Atlas.  I think it might be one of those movies you have to watch several times.  Lots of big names playing lots of different parts.  Tom Hanks, Halley Berry, Susan Sarandon, and lots you would recognize.  Hanks plays about five or six parts as well as Berry even playing a man in one part.  The movie jumps around from era to era making it hard to tell if it is in the future or past with parallel stories happening.  Really different…..more later..
