It is truly amazing how little time ...

You have when you are "retired"!  Took off in our "new" car for Grecia this morning around 11:30, to obtain insurance on said vehicle and run a couple of errands.  Got home after 5 and we didn't goof around at all.

Into town, withdraw $$ w/our US ATM card (to plump up our Banco National $$ account in preparation for the eventual arrival of our container.  Swung up to INS (the government insurance agency) to obtain, at the very least, mandatory liability insurance for the car.  Lady at the door tells us to come back @ 1 ... no reason, sign says 8-5, but come back @ 1.  OK.  Went to BNCR and deposited the previously withdrawn $$, then went across the street to Municipalidad de Grecia ("The City") to make sure they had my email to send me a property tax bill, as Don Alexis said he had paid 3 months worth.  Lady at information says "your taxes are paid for a whole year" ... who am I to question!  OK!  Gave her my email for future billings and was out the door in 10 minutes ... a new record!

Brief interlude for STOUS!  Had to get my politics fix ... such a junkie!  Oh, too much!  OD!

  1. Never a dull moment. And being retired does not mean that you don't have tons to do. Any word on when the container will arrive? Enjoy the weather.....we had one great day yesterday! Golfed with Marie, Sue, Merilyn, and Curtis. Beautiful day (60 degrees, horrible golf!
