Well, we had water in the villa after it went out Sunday and was restored on Monday, but we lost it this morning, so I'm at Wimco to report the problem and get an internet fix. We can use water from the view pool to do the usual necessities and drink bottled water. There is a shortage of perishable food items like salad greens. None available in the three markets I tried yesterday and today. Bank and credit cards are still not working. Wimco gave us Euros yesterday. We had a knockout meal at Banniers last night and they were able to process our Mastercard. The place is clogged with cars and people standing around using the working internet. We parked in the lower dirt lot, a bit dark but otherwise fine. The lobster fricassee, thai shrimp salad, sea bass and desserts were all to die for. We also enjoyed a fine bottle of reasonably priced Malbec from Argentina. Banniers is a treasure. The airport seems like its getting back with flights arriving over the hill once again, apparently sans the crosswinds that we had when we came in over the bay on Tradewind. I have a video of that approach, really interesting. So here are a few land and undersea photos!
