Mexico, SM Week 11

Where did the week go? We didn't do a lot of exploring, but I had a mani-pedi (didn't bring my own polish so toes are bare = not beach ready for sure!)  Later in the week I had a Thai massage. My daughter-in-law and I had made an appointment in Burlington in April 10 years ago and we had to cancel due to a major snow storm. It's taken that long for me to make another appointment and Sarah, you were right. It was soooo good that I've another appointment scheduled for Thursday. If you've never had a Thai massage, it is a lot of stretching, with masseuse using hands, arms, feet and legs while you lay relaxed on a mattress on the floor, fully clothed and you are massaged from the top of your head to the tips of your toes. The result is like doing an hour yoga class of stretches but you don't have do any work.

There wasn't anything unusual this week, so we'll blog about a normal day in San Miguel.

The day begins with fresh from the oven orange  glazed donuts and scones! 

Oh oh! Someone is sneaking a taste of the cranberry scone before the coffee is served. Yes, I see you!

A walk down Refugio Street.

We pass a factory that makes corn tortillas all day that are then packaged and delivered to the street food vendors and small, local variety stores. 

A picture in our garden with Marcilla who works hard keeping the yard and casitas clean. 

The young Nino carries fresh mangos into the fruit market where we buy veggies, fruit, eggs and fresh bread.

Then off to the library to purchase tickets for a movie.

Stephen sells PlayhouseTheatre tickets to us every week. He and his son, Noah, have a gallery in centro to exhibit their art work. He saves Section A, seats 1 and 2 for us, our favourite viewing chairs for live shows.

Another spot for music and movie tickets.

Lining up for ice cream. Flavours are exotic and delicious. They include garlic, avocado, rose petal, corn, hibiscus flower, chili, cheese, jalapeño and my fave...tequila with lime. Dos scoops por favor!

Streets are crowded, it is a another holiday!

It's the first day of Spring. And why not celebrate, days are getting longer and warmer. Just like being at home.......I hope!?

If you want to build a road, and a tree is in the way, why heck. Let the cars drive around it. After all, the tree was there first! This is on our street, Refugio, as we walk to town. Always makes me smile...as does the handsome hombre supporting the trunk.

Bill purchased these amazing lilies from a lady who knocked on our gate door last Friday. Everyday another 1 or 2 buds come into bloom boasting the most beautiful colours. 

HAPPY SPRING everyone.
