Mexico, SM weekend

Last week was so busy that I just wanted to add to Bill's update of week 4. On Sunday the library showed a documentary film on the life of Janis Joplin. She had a sad life as a teenager and never did find real happiness. But, what a talent and her music expressed her pain. 

Last week we also finished our 4th seminar on "Unconcious Bias" at the Institute. Bias, stereotyping, prejudice all about the same. The Institute has different seminars every week on a variety of topics. We're on the waiting list for "Great Trials". 

Thursday night at the Opera Theatre we listed to a Talented Jazz Trio. Bill enjoyed it, but guess it's not my thing. Give me a lyric and a peppy tune! 

At YucatanRestaurant with friends Linda and Mike from NewHampshire and Phyllis and Lee. The atmosphere was incredible, we felt like we were in a huge garden. A lot of businesses, from the sidewalk, look plain and dark behind large doors and narrow entrances. But once you enter, they open up into large court yards full of sunlight, gardens and huge water fountains. It's always a wonderful surprise to see what is behind the heavy, ornate, wooden doors. 

Saturday held many choices and all within 10 minutes of our casita. There was a chili cook off, much like our our RibFests, a huge Art and Craft Show and a One-of-a-Kind like bazar featuring local artisans. 

A huge variety of succulents in 2" pots. I could go crazy!!

Spring arrives early in San Miguel and the local park is full of nursery plants. The sale continues for 10 days and everyone interested in working in their gardens purchase orchids, succulents and planters of all shapes and sizes. Poor Bill, he was like a kid in a candy store...if only he could bring something home to Oakville. 

And here we are, January 30, where has the time gone. By the way, how is everyone? Would love to hear from you and get updated on what you are doing. Adios amigos!
