August expenses, one thing is for sure, when you move around a little it cost more. In the week we were in Cartagena we spent $1000. total expenses for the month came to $1917. Doctors, sight seeing and fuel were the major cuprites. My trip to the Dermatologist cost $410 plus some meds. I visited her office on Wednesday and scheduled surgery no my face and back for the next day. They opened early so I could have a 1 ½ hour time spot without other patients interfering. Then the Doctor talked me threw each step of what she was doing. After the procedures were done I was leaving the building and the doctor asked if she could drive me to the Pharmacy. She gave me here cell Number and sent me on my way. I an again amazed at the quality of care I have received in the past two years. The things I put off in the states because the process takes so long I have done in Central America because of the simplicity.

Just a note on a new subject, Becky's Birthday dinner, one of the finest meals we have ever had. Total bill was $98 includes tip. Each filet dinner was $25. Yesterday we were walking in the old city and found a Hard Rock Café. The menu as outside so I could read it. The bacon cheese burger was $21.50. I quick scan showed we would have spent the same or more eating their. Lesson, always ask a local for advice on eating out.
