This posting has been a real challenge so far and I haven't started posting yet. Between the Internet being intermittent and Google checking my identity to ensure I am the owner of this account "because I am not in Canada" it has been interesting. Oh, and I forgot my new "Dell Pro" tablet decided to do a funny. I am computer illiterate so it has been challenging getting that sorted out!! Well I guess I had better get posting before something else happens.
Oh crap! I spoke too soon! I am not able to upload pics, and if I can't do that there isn't much point in doing the blog now is there? Well let's persevere here and see what I am capable of doing to work out this wrinkle.
Hmmmm, here we are 11:30 - still morning - the previous paragraph was written at 6 this morning. Now I will attempt to keep this show on the road.
This is to remind me of what is waiting back home. Brrrrrr!
This was taken the Friday before we left, so that would have been
January 30th, seems like months back now.
I have no idea where the special effects came in this one but if I find where it came from and if there are more I will pass them along from time to time. It adds interest.
The farm buildings and antiques hibernating on a beautiful winter's day. You know it is not too many years ago when this scene and the crisp, sunny day would have beckoned me to get outside and enjoy it.
At this point in my life it beckons me to the comfy lazy woman's chair with a warm blanket and a good book!
Knowing that the state of "Toadism" is in the not too distant future we have opted again to going South for some of the winter.
We swapped white snow and cold days for white sand and hot days
On the corner of this building outlined in red, you can see the web cam by the leaning lighthouse. We pass it at least twice day and wave each time. So if you happen to see us please wave back - we will be waiting!
You see the phones are missing - this could help lead one in investigating the problem with the internet.
This little fellow is a regular guest in our front garden,
These two are regulars in our back patio
Every year when we return we like to visit our old haunts and let their owners/workers know we are back. We made a stop at the Ole in the Colonia.
I gotta say, I love their draft beer!! They serve both large and small - you see I had one of each.
Later I met this friendly fellow, quite a nce kid, about 9 years old. I still am unable to determine age of the children here, they are so petite
Flowers in our front garden
This is my feeling yucky face - went for a walk, found a bathroom just in time and stayed a while. I am blaming the short term runs and cramps to fruits, juices and spice adjustments. I always bring along some form of diarrhea relief.
Not much to do other than drink my sprite and wait for the feeling to pass, so I took a picture of the menu so you could see an example of some of the breakfast prices
Allan's "Glad it is you and not me" face
More flowers to remind you that the world is not all ice and snow.
Shopping at La Casa Martin's
Shopping at one of the fruit markets in the Colonia. This fellow is carrying bags of cabbage.
This is the restaurant La Paza Es Primero "The Stomach Is First". They had a fire during the past year causing much damage to the building. The renovations brought forth changes to the thatched roof. The outside of the roof is still made of thatch but the inside is covered with what looks like a fire retardant finish and painted.
This is the new glass front.
Nice.
Our Happy Faces Saturday Feb 8th!
