December 11/2012





We've been here in Los Barriles about 6-1/2 weeks now.  We are well settled into our casa with lights on the deck and our very own Mexican Christmas tree.  We've found a dental hygentist and I've visited my favorite 'beauty shop'.  Weather was very warm and often kind of humid when we first arrived but now it is generally very pleasant.  The kite boarders and sail boarders are often on the water and make for our entertainment.  Last Sunday we went to the Arts Fair and did a little shopping and had lunch. l Saturday market has also started.  Both of these events combine 'gringo' and local artistans who bring everything from jewelery, paintings, textiles, food, wood furniture and more.  I've also been painting with varying results.  Our deck is a fine place to paint, with a great view of the water, town, and mountains.  The other big event in the last couple of weeks is that we bought a quad and are really enjoying the ride!  Roger has ordered a 'back seat' for it so we wont feel so 'tippy' when riding in second position!  His brother Mike will be bringing it down when they come in January (we hope).  I'm sure all of you are getting ready for the holidays.  We hope you have a wonderful Christmas and safe and prosperous New Year!  Feliz Navidad... happy trails .....
