Like everyone else, I expect, I shall be glued to the television today as we watch an event that will likely make significant changes across our world as we know it and, sadly, not for the best. 'Nuff said.
Moving back to real time, the here and now, it's been a few days since I've checked in… we've been busy getting familiar with the lay of the land and, yes, catching up on sleep and unfinished planning for next winter. Sounds crazy doesn't it but, if you're an RVer, you understand what I mean. For those who aren't … 'tis true; if one wants a nice site in a State Park, one must do the homework with respect to selection and booking…One year in advance. It's kind of like a game of chance… actually it's very much like a game of chance; sometimes you win and lots of times you lose out and get to start again.
But enough of that. Back to 'here in Mexico' we go 😃. We are well and have spent these last few days learning about where we are; the place, the people, the restaurants and the beach bars. like any small town, there is lots to see and lots to learn.
For instance, we've learned that after a few nights of listening to the local dogs barking at each other all night, your brain can actually block the noise out and allow you to get some sleep. The same can be said about the very loud roosters (who run wild on the streets along with their harems) and who think dawn is somewhere around 0400 hrs.
I'm not complaining mind, it's a small price to pay for the good fortune to be welcome in a small(er) town, close to larger venues if desired.
So far we've nailed down the locations that provide, the best BBQ ribs, the coldest cervesas, the loudest music, the strongest margueritas, the best beach for lounging, the best fish market, the best laundry, the easiest roads to walk on (many are hard to walk on cobblestone) and for me, an easy route for my morning walk (I just walk straight down our road to the very end, turn around and walk straight back). The route
I ve adopted takes about 40 minutes…a great way to start the day.
I'm including a few pics. They show, one of those roosters I mentioned, the reason we don't swim at our beach, a couple of the streets (the quiet one is the morning street at Sophia's; a lovely sidewalk cafe, and the view from our wee balcony.
Well, it's time for me to go and get ready for our day. Hope your days go well and your dogs and roosters are sleeping through the night. Adios amigos. CJ
