Friday
I had my writer's group this morning, so it must be Friday.
Last night I was fighting with a stiff-neck type headache, a persistant, but invisible mosquito, barking dogs, a new neighbour who is sharing the kitchen here, and then, Fireworks, Very Loud Fireworks, which started going off at 5:30 AM, and continued until after 10 this morning. This is Mexico too. I'm sleep deprived, and as soon as I finish doing my laundry, I am going down for a nice long, hopefully, blissfully, quiet siesta, with earplugs.
Walking home at noon, the heat already rising, It sunk in to me that I'm only here for a little over two more weeks, and that means every day is precious. I don't want to leave here, but I am looking forward to seeing everyone in Nanaimo, to being on familiar ground, and to the summer in Ontario. But also, I think I will be coming back here.

You are doing so many different things. It is a gift, this trip. Especially for us. You keep a door open we can see through to your life there. There seems to be a lot more respect for people and traditions than there is here.
Why don't you take a current picture of yourself.Can I talk you into it?
Well, how serendipitous I'm even anonymous in here.

Hi Patricia, good to hear from you! I have some photos from my trip to Guanajuato this week; I will post them this weekend. Regarding respect for people and traditions, well, respect for people is different here, but for traditions, yes, definitely. Looking forward to seeing you soon, Cheers, Jacquie
