Ola from La Manzanillo, Mexico

Alan and I are in La Manzanillo, Mexico, with his sister Connie and his Uncle Ronnie. We're here for 2 weeks while Connie is having her vacation home here remodeled/fixed up. She and her husband Danny may eventually live here but for now they come here about 4 times a year, and rent it out the rest of the time. We're here in high season so there's lots of Canadians here for the winter. I'm going to post some pictures of our street, of the beach, of us eating.

I've also taken pictures of inside Connie's main house. Here's the kitchen, which is huge, and the dining area looking out to the front fo the house towards the main street. There's a bungalow downstairs which is being worked on. It's a one room studio on street level, with kitchen, bathroom, bed, futon all in one room--well the kitchen and bathroom are separate.
Okay my last picture won't upload, so you'll have to see it in a nother blog when I post again. And I'll include some beach pictures. Starting tomorrow the town is having their annual Fiesta de la Toros, and the first day is Gringo Day, where the local foreigners sponsor the first day to show their appreciation to the local Mexicans. And there's supposed to be loud crazy parades, which will come right down main street, which is right below our balcony. We heard last year the town was trashed after the 4 days. We'll see. Of course I'll take pictures.

Just so everyone knonws--my third grandbaby, my second granddaughter, is due in 2 weeks! I'm flying home February 10, just a few days before she arrives by c-section. I'm anxious about not being there but trying to relax and not think about all the ways Judy could use my help right now.

So here you go cousin Jan--thanks for suggesting I update the blog. I always think I don't have anything blog worthy to write about. But here it is.
