Electric Wire Bandit

WHERE ARE WE? La Penita, Nayarit, Mexico

Overnight we lost power for some reason.  I looked around to see if the power company was working anywhere.  Nope, no sign of them.  Back at the park I tried the lights by the public bathrooms and the light turned on.  What the heck.  No power on the RV side though.  We were outside the fence and Hubert called me over and said the feed wires from the meter had been cut!!!  Why is that? 

Something not right here.

Sergio came over to check things out with us

After a lot of head scratching we came up with the theory that a bandido had come to collect copper wire in the middle of the night and he got the neutral cut and when he went to cut the hot wire, it grounded out and gave him a blast so he gave up on the mission.  We have decided to look for someone with frizzy hair this morning and that would be our man!!!

There are the cut wires

We called the electrician to come and fix the problem but I had a date with Kenia this morning.  Her and I have not had much time together this year because she is a busy girl.  She was joining me for Birria at the market today.  Her brother Bryan joined us as well.  It is sooo good.

After Birria I took a walk in the market and picked up a couple things.  I needed to pick up a loaf of sour dough bread and a flashlight.  I have lost 2 flashlights since we arrived here and have no idea where they are.  They had a led rechargeable that I think will work for me.

This street dog loved the bunny rabbits.

Sour dough bread

120 peso's

Next was a hair cut for the rough guy.  Its been about 2 and a half months since my last one.  Rosita always does a good job and we always do a photo op.  

I remind me of my mom. Just need a bonnet!!!

When I got home, the electrician was just finishing up putting the wire back together and burying the cable so the banditos can't cut it anymore.  Good job guys for getting the power back on.

One of the things we have been watching is the transformation of caterpillars to butterflies.  We have been treated to some really nice butterflies emerging, and there are still lots of caterpillars and cocoons!!

I have been playing a form of scrabble with Sue on line.  She is pretty good at that game and I can only think of 3 letter words.  I won at least one game.  It does pass the time of day.

We did get treated to a really awesome sunset tonight.  Good Nite!!!
