Filling in Social Schedule here, Whew!

Now the Alamos weather is getting nice & warm. About 83 in the daytime & 58 or so at night. To me that’s PERFECT!

Let's see: Last night we ate again at Las Palmeras. It's our favorite restaurant. Good food, fair prices and great Indio draught beer (by Tecate) for 20 pesos (about $1.80) in a cold pint mug. We usually end up with two each because their salsa is so picante that we NEED that beer to keep from dieing.

They have nice recorded music in the “background”. Que Raro! AND they have an internet hotspot so I’m usually online while waiting for the dinner to come and for Jose Luis to finish eating. Remember, he’s a slow one so it gives me more online time & I can read emails to him while he finishes up.
If they only took credit cards we’d be ecstatic! In the few places that DO take credit cards here we always get a good exchange rate…better than the local bank is giving.

Notice how tan Joey’s is, eh? He’s been working hard in the yard every day. I cannot stop him he’s on a roll. Here he is in his work clothes checking out what's going on in the street.

A few nights ago we were on our way to La Capilla barrio to find a guy that can make a shade shelter for our car. On the way back we were planning on stopping by to visit some new found friends that were house/dog sitting. They are from Bisbee, AZ; Alyce & Donald. We ran into them on the way TO find the the shelter guy & they jumped in our car and after finding “the guy” we all went to Las Palmeras for their last night in Alamos.

Joey tried on Donald's new cowboy hat:


Another night we went out to Rancho Palomar for a BBQ. It was a charity function for the school kids. The teenagers presented some folk dances & it poured cats & dogs. They ran out of chicken as well as tortillas; other than that it was great fun to see so many of our friends. My name retention is a joke but all the smiley faces gave & got hugs. Little by little the names are coming back into my brain. (Especially, after I ask someone "What is that person's name over there with the black top?" or whatever.)

Another happening was a lovely brunch out at El Pedrigal. For those of you that remember Elizabeth Nuzum & her straw bale house out in the countryside; well it's now owned by Jen & David & they've REALLY created a beautiful space. They have several small casitas for rental & 3 foot stone walls defining spaces & walkways. I didn't take any photos....duh. Maybe if we go again I'll take a few so you can see how beautiful the huge palapa we eat under. BTW the name of the place means lots of stones.
We may be going there again next Sunday so if we do then I'll be sure to take some photos to share.
