Bob Improved Dive Errands

Beautiful day at Small La Laguna.

I visited my friend “Bob” who was so sick last night I had to call a doctor in to see him. Bob’s condition in the morning was considerably better. He was still shaking but was able to stand up on his own. The doctor gave him the vitamin B complex at 6 AM which is about when Grace left. I helped Dave pour water for himself and offered to get him anything he needed from the market.

At 11:30 AM I did a dive to help Alli guide around Sabang Point. It was a nice and easy dive but I didn’t bring my camera because I wanted to focus on helping people if they needed it. I love guiding dives where I just help out because I always get the dive for free. I guess you can say the “payment“ for my internship is the occasional “free dive”. After the dive, I was hungry and went to McJims for a cheeseburger and Coke (45 pesos) lunch. It was good but a little small.

Running errands in Sabang.

The rest of the afternoon I decided run errands. I did my laundry in a bucket in my bathroom, went to the barber for a much needed haircut (100 pesos), and went to the market to get some supplies for myself. When I got home, I found I broke two eggs in my bag. After unpacking all my groceries, I went out to visit Bob.

The doctor in the morning gave me Valium to give to Bob each day. She didn’t want him to have all of them because she didn’t believe he would take only one a day. The consequences for overdose are serious. Bob’s health improved noticeably from the morning; he almost looks normal. After talking with him a little, I walked over to El Galleon to go on the Internet. I eventually made my way to Point bar to have a little happy hour.
