Hello From Mexico!
We were very
pleased they finally connected us to the Internet yesterday. It just feels like
everyone we care about is a whole lot closer, not to mention being able to
access information.
Our first week has
been the usual labour intensive experience, the earth shifts here which causes
little problems in most houses. Any
house unattended always needs help. Thanks to Marta, Dave, and Sonia we arrived
to a clean place but then messed it up with all the plumbing repair jobs!
It’s lovely fresh
weather, sunny but not too hot. The Tulip Tree is still in bloom, so beautiful with deep orange flowers against a perfectly blue sky. The Mexican rainy
autumn left us greener mountains all around.
We planted bright orange and yellow roses, and the balcony is starting to feel like
home. Tomorrow we will plant herbs for soups and salads. We already enjoyed a supper of avocado,
papaya, fresh carrots and strawberries. Fruits and vegetables are abundant, cheap and shopping is always more interesting here:)
Lynda arrives on
Sunday and it will be a great week for all of us to rest. Each day so far has
been busy with arrangements, start up, purchasing staples and settling in. The two of us have worked very hard setting things up so a week to relax will be welcome.
Our new land line
telephone number is 387 763 1815 (not
sure what the preamble is depending on where you call from, but we are located
in Jocotepec, near Guadalajara, State of Jalisco)
Hope the icy days
are over and everyone is cozy enjoying a mild winter.
Cheers,
Evi y Ivan
