Got up about 6:30 this morning and caught this sunrise:
We had another big power surge today and knocked out another surge protector. Nice smell! It was still working but actually melted. We replaced it. Our amp keeps going in and out, too, will work then a surge will come, it will go out for a while, then back in..worrying! I want to buy some power conditioners, can' rmember if I mentioned that yesterday. There don't seem to be any in town, I checked with Electrica Diaz and RCC. So I guess we get them from the US.
Anyway, cross your fingers for us on that front. Meanwhile, a stray somewhat thoughtful idea of mine might make a big difference to Mary Sol (Oswaldo's wife). She wants to go back to school after the baby arrives. I asked if she knew much about computers, and she wanted to learn, so I found a Spanish language online computer course, set up my spare laptop in the dining area, and she's coming over every day and studying diligently. It's no skin off our nose, but she seems really happy about it.
And here is the first of this year's holiday decorations:

Hi Mel and Carl,
Love your blog and it parallels so much many of the things we found in Mexico. We didn't wear earplugs but put on our CD player to drown out the dogs and roosters found it worked fine. The only thing it didn't cover was the young fellow on his bike who came every morning about 6.00 banged on our door and yelled " Tamales ". We made a mistake one morning of buying some, bad mistake for he thought we ate them every day. As for the brown out it is common in Mexico, the first year we were there we couldn't keep 12v bulbs in our camper. Where we were the voltage was 139 volts instead of 110 to 120. We didn't burn out our power bars but did worry about it. I'm sure you will find what you need in the States but I doubt if you will in Mexico. Have a great day and remember that swim for me.
I know that snowman!!!
Is it hard to send the photos I took to me online? If so, no problem. I would just like to have them.
Have a great day and a great swim!
