Holidays

Well Christmas is over, for all of us. I'm sure many of you spent it wrapping and unwrapping presents while I unwrapped a big ol bottle of Pacifico. Or two or three. The day was spent at the beach, we drank beers, watched the waves come crashing in and enjoyed the sunshine. I asked me friend, Israel, what is the typical way to celebrate the holiday. His reply was, ¨you want to come to my familys house for Christmas¨asked with a bit of question. Apparently my tone indicated such. I was just asking the typìcal tradition. He then said, for him, it is spent at the beach. Thank goodness for that! Later that night we enjoyed a couple more beers at the Plazuela and watched the Americans and Mexicans enjoying the festivities of musicians and such. It was nice to have a year where Christmas was a bit less chaotic and a bit more warm...however, it is always nice to see a present or two wrapped under the tree with your name on it.

Now I'm at the Lake and enjoying the beauty it has to offer. The Lake is beautiful, surrounded by trees and all sorts of foliage, there is even grass, imagine that!
The first night I stayed in a bungalow complete with kitchen but had to move out since others were coming who had reservations. So I have being staying in a room and cooking my meals outdoors. Unfortunately the place has become quite noisy so sleep is far and few between. Every one walks in front of my door all night long and don't seem to be very concerned about how loud they are. And then last night a group of teenagers pitched a tent next to my room and they awok at 4am with the Roosters and made all sorts of racket. They definitely didn't seem to care that they had awakened everyone that is there for this went on until 6am. I don't seem to get why no-one told them to be quiet. But as the lone American, I don't want to seem annoying. But they were singing at the top of their lungs and talking like it was 3 in the afternoon. I may head out of here early because between them and the family of twenty that does karokee all night long on their super sized speakers rest is coming hard to get.

But we shall see where the future takes me...

Anyhow, just a quick check in. Fleize Ano Nuevo
