T Minus 4...

Yesterday was a rough one, even though we were able to be out and about sight seeing. One couple chose to stay in and rest. Puebla is not wheelchair friendly or very handicapped accessible at all. While in Old Puebla, we bounced around on the broken cobbled sidewalks and streets, which was difficult for Dave as wheelchair driver and sometimes painful for me as rider. Finding an accessible restroom proved to be impossible. We paid 50 pesos to use a very clean restroom with stall doors too narrow for my chair, low toilet with no grab bars and no toilet seat (ouch). Dave deserves a medal for helping me through that ordeal! Other than the restroom issues, we were able to  enjoy a tour of some beautiful old churches and lunch at an authentic Mexican restaurant. Puebla is so rich in history. The battle victory that is celebrated as "Cinco De Mayo" was fought in Puebla. An early surprise birthday dinner was planned, for the evening, so I chose creme brulee as my meal. It was amazing! After another harrowing restroom experience, (not quite as bad as the first) we headed back to the apartment. I was exhausted, so I took a nap and sadly decided not to attend the birthday party. Dave went by himself, and I went back to bed. 
This morning, after my shot, I stayed in the apartment while Dave did an early grocery run. He brought me several bottles of Starbucks cold coffee drinks. They cost less than 50% of what we pay in the states. That will be a nice treat when in isolation. This evening, our group is getting together on the rooftop terrace  for a cookout. We will have steak and salmon, and each couple is bringing a side dish to share. This will be our last opportunity to be together for a meal before life gets serious. Dave just went out again with his new British buddy, Ian. They are in charge of getting he meat for tonight at Sam's. Some of the group went wig shopping, but I'm saving my energy for later. I don't think I will mind being bald. It's only temporary and I think Snapchat filters will be hilarious with a bald head. Adios for today...

Pics from inside the church. Lots of gold everywhere. This room's walls and ceiling were completely covered in gold! 

This is the dessert I shared with Dave after our dinner at the Italian restaurant. Tiramisu!
