Up and down in La Plama

This Holiday was OK until I got the flu that lasted for 3 weeks - it came and then it went and then it sneaked back and floored me with a large frying pan !!!!

Friday we finally signed on the house although I was not sure that it was the right thing to do, due to the flu I had spent the last week in bed and just did not really believe that all would work out OK. To be honest I still am a little apprehensive about the place but I am fulling in love with the place. Finally at 2:15 (and the notary closes at 2:00) we signed the contract and haded the money over, did we get anything in return --- nope. So there we were money gone and no house keys, so it was a bit of a letdown. The evening was spent on a right royal bar craw around Santa Cruse until 1:00 am, a very pleasant evening with Theresa and Sheila.

Saturday was a complete downer, I spent most of it asleep and depressed. Thinking about going back to the UK and staying there - running away and dieing in some lonely place... Today has been a lot better, we spent a very good afternoon at the new house with the old owners and Sheila and Julio eating a very nice barbeq....

Now we have only 2 days left here and then we return to the UK But for only 2 weeks and then we return for the rest of our lives - part of me is scared stiff and another part can't wait ....
