19 November 2017 – I was loading my motorcycle but before I
left I wanted to get a picture of Carmen for my blog. I walked over to her tent
to see if she was around. She was but needed a moment. I went back to loading
my motorcycle. She appeared looking nice. So we were talking about traveling
some more and one thing led to another and I mentioned I needed to send home
some pictures for my blog. Carmen mentioned to me that the hotel has two WiFi
systems. One for all the rooms to use which is weaker and the other for the
hotel to use. A more powerful and faster internet. 
She told me how this hotel
was flooded during a large storm or maybe a hurricane. I not sure which but
anyway the rooms were flooded up to 3 feet / 1 meter and virtually put the
hotel out of business. There were also homes or rental houses down by the beach
that were flooded and destroyed by the storm. In one house the plumbing still
worked. The toilet could be flushed and in the counter top sink the water faucets
still worked. The counter top was covered with 4 inches / 10 centimeters of dirt.
The toilet was buried in dirt and the water closet lid was covered with it.
After seeing that I went and tried out the more powerful and faster WiFi
system. I tried sending first one picture and then two pictures. The two picture
seemed to have trouble sending so I sent one picture at a time till all my blog
pictures were sent. This took almost all afternoon and just before I finished
my computer battery ran out. I went back to my room charged up the battery and
finished sending the rest of the pictures. That was a task I was glad to have
completed. I still had to finish writing my blog for 19 November and get it
sent. Then I will be ready to leave with all my chores caught up. Going to bed
will be much sweeter knowing this Word document sent. Mary is uploading my blog posts and pictures to save me on data costs.
