NESTING DOWN AND MAKING A HOME

Ken and I now fully understand the word humid.  Ken is doing better at adjusting than I am.  I do not any longer use the air conditioner every waking and sleeping hour.  Our first electric bill which is for two months was $800.00 usd.  By next year we should be comfortable.  Remember that we came here from a stone cold place that we needed to have a daily fire and stuffed newspapers under the doors.

The rainy season I found to be rather nice and relaxing.  During this time of the year our town is slow moving and lots of stores are closed down.  By November the Americans, Canadians, and Brits will be all over the place.  It has been a really good time to know the community and get to met people.

We have made quite a few friends here and have gotten really close to some of them.  They are of all ages and nationalities.  But our closes friends are Mexicans and are younger than I am.  




 I fixed a Mexican style dinner and we just all really enjoyed ourselves.

I was playing Grandma and holding the youngest to get him asleep.  However getting out of that chair on the sand was not easy, and that baby was heavy!



At most of the beaches here, there are restaurants that serve on the beach.  In fact they plan on you coming causal or in bathing suits to swim.  They have the tables and chairs set up on the sand.  Each restaurant has a different color for their umbrellas.  Where you sit is what restaurant you eat at.  They all have showers and you just sit there all day and into the night enjoying and relaxing.  The food is not expensive and it is fantastic.  You can bring your own drinks, even your own food, just as long as you order something from them, you get to use their tables and stuff.

For Butch it has been a wonderful time without all the tourist.  The beaches are not crowded and she can run, swim and chase those pesky birds all day long.


 We have had time to explore and I found this nursery close to our house.  It is just amazing.  It is like some wonderland park place




Well it is getting late and best to wrap this up for tonight.  Our birds are now with Rick, so it is good night from Butch and Donna
 And Mr. Hyder himself.
