Blah Blah Blog

We had our first rain the other night; Friday I think it was. It wasn´t like a floodgate opening and the water didn´t come up over the curb (yet) but it was definitely a precursor of things to come. I am looking forward to the rain. It has a cleansing effect on everything here! The warm weather has arrived and so far, I am managing quite well with one fan on low. Still sleeping under the covers at night! :)

A couple of things I wanted to share with you. I needed to get a pair of shoes fixed. The synthetic insole had puckered and I had to get it replaced with a leather insole. I put it off as long as possible knowing how expensive this is to get done at home ($20-$25). I finally took them into my neighbourhood shoe repair shop and got them back a day later. The cost was 20 pesos. I also needed to get a watch battery replaced but I wasn´t too worried about the price since it usually only costs around $5 at home. Here it was only 20 pesos.

I think I have mentioned before that I have a lot of blog fans out there whom I have never met. They are just silent readers who somehow stumble across this site while doing research about PV. The other Sunday I was having breakfast at Freddy´s (chocolate waffles with strawberries and whipped cream!) when a couple stopped by my table on the way out. They asked me if my name was Juliana and when I said yes, they told me that they are readers. It´s a small world isn´t it! :)

My apologies again for not posting as often as before. I´ll be online daily while in Canada (but not sure you want to hear about that) and then back to full strength upon my return here in July with my new laptop. Not much else to report. I´m off to dinner tonight at Los Xitomates to enjoy the second last night of "restaurant week" which is actually two weeks during which many of the restaurants in town offer 3 course meals for 149 or 249 pesos. And then the free Alejandro Fernadez concert is tomorrow night downtown. I´m not sure if I´m up to facing the crowds though ... we´ll see.
