Today was a restful day, mostly running around town picking up last minute items, last minute packing, and grabbing perishable food items. At 6 o’clock we went to the airport to pick up Willie’s client, Charlotte. Back at her hotel, we unload her gear and she is set up in her room. I go back outside, to where Willie was waiting, and there is a big commotion. I ask some attendants where Willie is, and they inform me that he has dropped his keys in the gutter, a two foot deep trench gushing with water. After a search and rescue session, we retire and Willie begins to call a lock and key joint. I then notice a man standing with a key ring in his hand. He had our keys. They got attached to the client’s baggage, and fell off in the hotel lobby. Afterwards at dinner we went to a local restaurant, very classic, rustic, with grapes hanging from overhead. We ate a meal of the most delicious pork, steak ribs, ham, and cow diaphragm that I could ever imagine--it was very good and tomorrow we drive to Penitentes, the beginning of the journey!
