I mentioned that Betsy has been under the weather in an earlier entry, so we weren't allowed to fire up the power washer to clean off various areas of the school because of the noise. So Jim and I left for the day and ran some errands and acted a little like tourists.

We visited one of Jim's favorite hardware stores, National Lumber. Not the nationally known National Lumber, but a more local version. Jim is searching for something to offset one of the toilets at the school. We were unsuccessful here as well as one other store.

After two stops at hardware stores, Jim and I went to the El Conquistador Resort. It's a really nice hotel complex with a golf course, restaurants, meeting rooms, a small casino, and the only Starbucks for miles!!!

This is the view from the pool area of the hotel. We are looking in an eastward direction at the Atlantic Ocean. The little marina below has a couple of ferries that take guests out to an island to swim as the hotel complex doesn't have any beachfront attached to the hotel. The island straight out has a condo complex on it.

We had mocha frappacinos and a pastry, and Jim bought two bags of coffee. The little casino was closed so I was able to abstain from dropping a twenty there.

After meandering around the hotel, we went over to a nearby marina and visited the business of one of the men who attend Jenny's church. He showed us around his marine business and a boat he refurbishing. For some reason I didn't take any photos at the marina.

On the way to the marina we passed Peggy and Jerry's, the little spot where we got pinchos last week. As you can see, there isn't much to the place. The area to the right of the front door is the kitchen and to the left are about six tables.

All in all it was a very nice day. We got back in time for me to get an hour nap before doing some laundry and catch up on my blogging. We had lasagna for dinner and are now watching the Giants/Phillies baseball game.
