Today is Wednesday. Yesterday we did a day trip to Macao. Dianne and the girls agreed that it is the most beautiful beach ever!! After some fierce negotiations I bought a sack of lobster for everyone to enjoy. This started with me trying to buy them right out of the boat as it pulled it up. The fisherman and I could not agree on a price so he packed up his lobster and went home.........so Jose and I jumped in the car and drove to his home in the village of Macao. I really got a feel for how they live. But he was having lunch and would not come out of his home. Boy when I upset someone over price they stay upset. So it seemed that all was lost.....I went back to talk to Jose about getting lobster tomorrow but he had managed to get more lobster. So more bartering got us a sack of lobster and I also learned how to cook them dominican style. This involves cleaning them before they are cooked and panfrying them with some spices. The supper was amazing we also fried some veggies and made rice. Life is not complete until you have had lobster fajitas for supper, unfortunately we were out of money again, so today was another trip to the bank. As a side note please leave a comment so we know if anyone is reading this.
