back to the blog


I am back to the blog. I finally found a wireless conection in Cuyutlan by sitting at the Hotel Morelos resturant, that gets me within the wireless network of the Hotel Fenix accross the street of which I am not longer able to patronize, don't ask. I am thrilled to have a reliable connection again. Thanks for your encouragement Susan!

The sale of our beach lot is in escrow and progressing. We are not however getting the house I thought and we are looking at options, other lots, etc. We are hoping to have something lined up by the time we leave Cuyutlan which is somtime around Easter. It has been very disappointing not to be getting the house I had focused on but the goal is a comfortable place in Mexico which is still very doable.
We had a Carnival in Cuyutlan last week-end. These girls are Miss Papaya, Banana, Lemon and Miss Coconut. The girls are not for sale as the sign behind them says.

This is Paola, she is last year's Carnival Queen - La Rayna.

We got into the spirt - here is the mask I made with Willie's help.

Willie's mask.

The parade ended with fireworks. Palm trees look especially nice when light by fireworks! Then the music started....I work up at 4 Am and all was finally quiet.

Life is good.
