San Carlos bound! After a short 2 hour
trip we pulled into a San Carlos gas station, Marcus got out of the
car and he could hardly walk. Shortly before we arrived in San Carlos
Marcus sneezed and felt a shooting pain in his lower back, He has
had back trouble for years, and hours sitting in a car it not good
for him. This was something much more severe than he had experienced
before. We drove another 10 minutes and arrived at our friend Chuck
and Judi's house. Thank goodness for Chuck and Judi! If not for
their hospitality, we would have had to rent a room because there was
no way Marcus could climb up and down the ladder into the boat while
we readied it for our trip, if we even were able to go, considering
his condition.
We settled in and Marcus rested his
back, hobbling around the best he could. He took hot baths, got a
massage and treatment with an electronic neuro muscular stimulator.
He slowly improved and after a week, he had improved enough to start
work on the boat. Seriously thought we might just be spending the
winter in San Carlos!
We certainly didn't waste our
recuperation time! Chuck took us fishing and we fished until I could
not physically reel in any more fish!! The Bonita were running.
The next day Judi set up the canning
gear, and away we went, we canned for hours and have the best canned
tuna I have ever eaten.
We left the US so quickly I didn't get
a chance to stock up on dark chocolate, but I did have some dark
chocolate chips and had wanted to make home made peanut butter cups.
This mix of dark and milk chocolate yumminess will hopefully get us
through most of the season. This recipe is a keeper!
