I have an unbroken record of being the first person up. However, it was a sad morning. Our baby cenzontles were on the ground. We think a cat must have got them. We found 2 in the backyard and 1 in front. Claudia decided to bury them so there are 3 graves at the back of the condo. After breakfast, Vic & I went to the beach and walked to one end. The beach was much less hectic today. The locals are all at work. Then we turned around and went to the local restauran...

Woke up to another beautiful day. Although it was sunny there were a few drops of rain. We may get some rain today. It is VERY humid and a shower at this point would be welcome. Paul actually does have a job and had to do some work today. Our private chef was at it again and made us another taste sensation with eggs, zucchini, tomatoes, onions, corn and oaxaca cheese along with fresh papaya and pineapple salad. We accompanied Claudia as she did some errands and w...

Again, I am the first one up to a beautiful morning after a cool night of 24 degrees! I may melt before I come home. There is a beautiful breeze on the deck where I am enjoying my coffee and watching mama & papa cenzontle feed the babies. Claudia made breakfast (eggs a la Claudia - a delicious concoction of potatoes, onions, and eggs topped off with homemade green sauce which is blended avocado, green tomatoes, and habanero pepper) and we feasted (yes again) on t...

Well I was up first again and spent some quiet time on the deck counting my blessings. It Ina supposed to rain today but the skies were clear and it was sunny and 26 degrees out at 9:00 a.m. And it continued to be sunny for the rest of the day. Today we hit the local market and sampled some Mexican "street meat" (really yummy tacos). All the locals go to this taco truck whose owners have been doing business in the same spot for 35 years. There were 8 different ty...

After a great sleep (no doubt with help from the margaritas) I was the first one up at the crack of dawn. I enjoyed a cuppa on the deck watching all the birds and just relaxing. After enjoying the solitude for a couple of hours I decided to go check out the pool and see what all the kids were laughing about. I got back to the apartment just in time to let Paul and Coco (cutest dog ever) in for coffee. A while later Vic decided to roll out of bed followed by Claud...
