I stare up at the windows in the cupola right above me. I really, really, want to die. My half crazed mind starts thinking up ways this might happen. Maybe Chilo will lose his grip on his trowel and it will come crashing through the ...

... shop owners put on a huge markup and reap great profits.

Having attended to that urgent errand, I spent most of the rest of my first week here just wandering about and getting my bearings. I have plenty of photos to add to this entry so won't go into long descriptions. The title describes my reaction to what I've seen so far. I also attended some interesting meetings, including one about archtypes, another about the book A Course in Miracles that I ...

... to be France or somewhere in the Middle East or Asia. Mexico never crossed my mind. But here we were, eager to become part of this incredible city full of friendly and excepting people who seem to embody the very thing we’ve been looking for…a slower pace and a sense of life fulfilled.

It only took two days for me to find a house I love. Kevin wasn’t immediately hooked but after a second look he was on the phone to his parents telling ...

... odd things in my bags and feel a bit silly as I’m moving bake ware and wooden spoons from one bag to another. My once orderly bags are now a tangle of clothing, electronics and kitchen essentials and I realize that in the end all I really care about is that my bottle of fish sauce arrives intact. What would life be without my Masmum Curry? I don’t think I’m ready to find out.

... and on a concrete pad. It seemed like it went on for miles, clothes, fruit & vegetables, hardware, watches, remotes for tv's, meats, toys, dining furniture and more. We got a few pictures which are attached to get an idea of the Mercado. Sheila and I are not the greatest shoppers and fortunately Melinda was agreeable to catching a cabby back to the casa. We did buy some items and food for our meals. On the way back were held up in traffic as some police were putting a handcuffed ...

Well we've been here a whole week and it's gone by really quickly. Twenty huge motorhomes arrived today, making us feel even better about our plans to move on tomorrow. Ian is beginning to suffer "trailer envy" as Freud would say. We took an enormous number of photos while we were her. The botanical gardens is a must-see, as well as the whole downtown area with its extremely narrow streets. We drove our Xterra down from the botanical gardens, and it ...

... treats. Even in the rain last week the several stools, under a tarp, were full of customers. A favorite is the weekday car wash, basically an empty space in the courtyard where the hand wash mostly taxis. But on the weekend they scrub the cement, set up patio chairs and long tables and put out a long buffet line of homemade stuff. It's been packed every evening.

What our eyes could discern in the minimal light, however, was a sight to behold.
