Sadly Lynda flew home on March 17. She is now reunited with cat Stella and the wild west. She is enjoying the magic of our Pacific NW Rain Forest and we talk of hikes and scouting once I'm home and settled.
We had 7 days of rain and cold weather here ( no it's not always sunny in Mexico and Global Warming has changed the climate everywhere). We are enjoying a return of sunshine, which means we can wash clothes and hang them to dry.
Mexican homes are not built for cold weather, so wet days are uncomfortable.
We discovered the local movie theater and try and make the "less than perfect" days productive. (I got my computer fixed, saw a great dermatologist, just finished an excellent book called "Aquarium, by David Vann). We attend to practical things if it rains, keep moving or crawl under the blankets.
They need to get solar power happening in Chapala. It's a no brainer.
My friend and colleague, Karen, is arriving next week. I look forward to showing her the area and sunshine is expected. We continue to exercise, read, write, cook and enjoy the local festivities.
Many of my photos are not things we see daily (like donkeys wandering in town) but I cherish those moments. It's a view into this area of Mexico years ago. It's great that aspects of a previous lifestyles still exist, and that daily life is sprinkled
with both modern and old ways of doing things.
