Actually it is still Sunday night, I’m watching Holmes on Holmes and he is in New Orleans helping out the people there after the hurricane, Brad Pitt is on the show too. It’s kinda neat. Anyway the reason I am typing right now is cause I forgot to tell you where Ross and I went on Saturday. Ross had actually gone here a couple of days ago driving our handyman to get supplies and also to his home. He thought it so neat he took me there too. The 200, about half way through Bucerias, goes over a river that floods in the rainy season (now). When you drive east on the river (Of course when it is not flooded) there is a whole new world that you wouldn’t know existed. There is a wonderful community that I can only describe as you will not believe it. We drive by houses and land with horses and goats and chickens and roosters and anything else you can imagine that a 3rd world county would have. Our handyman is a father of 2 where both his wife and children has had Dengue fever very recently (he is paying for the doctors partially, by working for us as much as possible. Ross drove him home and decided to explore and found this wonderful road. It is paved and winds through farms and gated communities, and wonderful restaurants (which of course we have to try). The more we live here the more we want to be here.

We went out to a new restaurant tonight with Larry and Lorena and had a marvelous dinner, so cheap and soooooo good! We will definitely be back! Well Holmes on Holmes is over so I’m gonna go to bed now. It’s 11:20 Bucerias time (10:20 Edmonton time) and I’m tired!

Good morning – today is another good day in paradise. We woke up at the crack of 11am and sat outside to drink our coffee and wake up. I had two things I wanted to get done, plug in the dryer and clean our patio off. In order to clean off the patio I needed to put some stuff in our new shed, however, I wanted to make sure my Christmas boxes were put in the shed before anything else, so I opened up the trailer and got the Christmas boxes in and then started cleaning off the patio. It looks so nice now.


Ross went to his AA meeting tonight and came home to find some friends that had come to visit us that we met Saturday night. They left shortly after Ross came home cause we had been invited out for dinner from a guy from AA. We had chili and cheese quesadillas, excellent meal, they have autistic twins that keep them hopping.

Well that’s all for tonight.

Talking to you from paradise
Ross and Kim
