Saturday, October 1<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2009, when we were in Dominica, our smoke stack fell over<\/a>. The stack had bent a little bit at an outdoor connection of the smoke stack causing a small exhaust leak. Unfortunately, none of the repairs that Eric has made have held long-term; all of them have failed sooner or later. The trouble is the sealant eventually goes bad. We forgot to mention this, but a few days ago, when we were in Don Juan, he\u2019d noticed that the leak was back. He was frustrated; he\u2019d been sure that the last repair he\u2019d done would last longer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This morning, Eric repaired exhaust leak first thing. He tried a new sealant, and hopefully this fix will last a good amount of time. After that, he got everything out that he\u2019d need to do an engine oil change so that he could do the change first thing tomorrow the morning, before it got hot. It actually takes longer to get everything out and ready than it does to actually change the oil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the afternoon, we decided to get lunch at Los Compadres<\/a>. From the roundabout, we took the other road inland, passing many more piles of mud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Los Compadres was closed. Instead, we went to a restaurant called El Muelle, which is a block or two west. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The restaurant was reminiscent of a TGI Friday’s, with chachkis everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All our meals came with a pinto bean soup that was phenomenal. Christi’s meal was served with steamed mixed vegetables, including chayote (Aka christophene<\/a>). We’ve had some amazing chayote dishes in the Caribbean<\/a>, but steamed chayote<\/a> is bland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While it was still quite hot out, the heat wasn’t unbearable, so we walked around downtown a little further than we have before. It is such a cute town, and the people are nice. Here are a couple of photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the evening, we went to pool. We were are still feeling off-kilter, so it was another early night. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
