Friends from the States

Sunday afternoon, my friend Cindi and her husband Jim arrived in Vallarta for Christmas. Once my termite fumigation folks arrived, I met Cindi and Jim for breakfast down on the beach. Nothing like it. Great company, beautiful surroundings and a traditional Mexican breakfast. Life is good!

They decided to spend the day at the beach (Mexicans refer to newly arrived, pasty white Americans as "Frozen Chicken") and get some color. It is hard to understand how exhausting lying in the sun, drinking cold beverages and reading can be!

Last night, they ventured over to Casa Leo, where I hosted a little get together with fresh mango, papaya, guacamole & chips along with margaritas and beer.  After a decision about SKYPE, I showed them how it worked by calling my parents. The surprise and excitment was evident when Cindi appeared on the screen. It was a highlight for all.

After, we went out for a nightcap at a favorite restaurant on the Rio Cuale. A duo were playing original tunes that were extraordinary. One on the guitar the other on violin. The two together...amazing! What a wonderful way to end the day.

Pictures to follow!
