Friday, November 23rd

Sorry for not posting sooner, but I don't have a good excuse.  We are getting more acclimated each day and finding things more easily.  Since last writing we saw a great parade where the children from all the schools dressed up and performed dances.  It was quite a long parade and the younger children were the best.  Very enthisiastic, not like the teens, bored.  Some things never change.

We went, by ourselves, to Obregon, which is an hour and a half away.  They just opened a new Walmart (2 days open) so we were lucky.  Plus, drum roll, they have a Starbucks there and we were beyond thrilled.  So, the highlights in Obregon are Starbucks and Walmart.

The other night we went to a woman's house that was built in the 1600's.  She was having an art showing of a friend's paintings.  The house was amazing.  The large living area opened to a magnificent yard which she can enjoy part of the year.  It has no doors, so when the bugs are bad, which happens often and it's so hot in the summer, she is limited to enjoy it.

We met more people at her house and joined them for dinner at a local restaurant, which, of course was very good.

Yesterday, was yoga and more women showed up so it was a nice size class.

There really are lots of things to do here.  There is a gringo site listing upcoming events, etc. so it is good to check it everyday.  Sometimes, things conflict, so you have to choose.  The Americans are really involved here helping the community.

Weather is in the 80's during the day and now it is going into the 50's at night-nice sleeping weather.

Bye for now.
