It’s been another quiet week. Life continues slowly here, yet the days fly past. Kathy made Vegan tacos in the week, based on some rather dull shredded soy. This gave me the chance to try one of the sauce trays I had seen in the supermarkets. It seems, and I could be making a fool of myself here, that you tip the contents into a blender and a few minutes later you have a fresh sauce. I think if you want to punish yourself you can use a mortar and pestle. The pack costs about 60p and made the tacos taste great. I removed half the chilies first. We also had a guacamole sauce which was lovely. Shame they have to use plastic packaging.
Salsa Rojo
On Friday we went for a meal at Estrella Mar on the waterfront close to the marina. They made a vegan pizza especially for Kathy and I had an assortment of fish beautifully steamed with rice.
Anyway that’s about as much food talk as I want to have for about for a year.
For fun I have migrated this Sister Midnight blog over to the Amazon Web Service AWS. I’m not sure how well it’s known, but Amazon are huge in the computer cloud business. They power many of the big web sites, streaming services and a stack of Internet stuff like eMail, eCommerce, Bitcoin, I could go on..
It was mostly fun, but it took many days to get the email notifications to work as Amazon are crazy to make sure Spam and fraud can’t originate from their systems. I’m all for it, but I had to jump through a load of hoops and be evaluated by a human! The previous email system suffered from being blocked by different ISPs from time to time, but hopefully these emails should be trusted and less likely to be dumped or shoved into the junk box.
Im hoping also to be able to stream videos faster, I have attached a HD video at the bottom as a test.

That video of the fish looks great! Is that filmed on the GoPro?
Yes, I borrowed Arturo’s GoPro, He has a GoPro Hero 4, which is very cool, My GoPro died after I took an axe to it to remove the stuck Memory card, Later on I realised it wouldn’t come out because it was already out and I was trying to remove the circuit board underneath it. Expensive mistake.
On the plus side it creates an opening in my Christmas present list 😉
The fish were amazing, I felt like I was in a David Attenborough film.
Those fish are amazing and La Paz night life looks good to me, seeing what it is like here haha. Stay safe xxx
Hi, Paul & Kathy,
Looks like you’re living the life! What are your long-range plans, as if we can have any in these CoVid times?!?
Hi Bruce,
Long range Plans, 1) Survive Covid, 2) get to India via South Pacific, New Zealand and possibly Australia. Next stop after that will be the Atlantic via south Africa. Have a vague plan to go from there to Brazil, USA East coast, and possibly up your way, the great lakes look very interesting, not sure how far in we can get in a tashiba 40!
