Spoiler- weather is fantastic... don't read if that will disturb you

Hi, All, I can't help but gush now. The weather is perfect, like a Calgary early summer, about 25 C (77 F) in the daytime, getting down to 14(57 F) or so overnight. It will get slowly hotter now, so we can ease our way into the summer.

I had my coffee outside this morning, listening to the local music, the roosters, the birds tweeting. Nice.

The other day I had a mango from a cart- they peel it, cut it into a flower shape, put it on a stick, then give it a blast of chili sauce, lime juice and salt. Good, but very fibrous, eat close to dental floss.

Went out to Rene's the other night to meet with Rosie and watch the sunset. Nice evening, sitting in shorts up on their balcony. There are a lot more tourists in town now, so the people who sell are hopefully starting to make some money. I bought some hummingbird pots the other day, because the guy knows us from coming to the beach every day. He said, "We usually start at $15 and go down to $10, but for you, $5".

Apparently you put sugar water in them and they attract hummingbirds- I expect they also attract insects, so they'll just be an attractive decoration.

I think this will be my last blog, everyone- thanks for your attention and comments! It's been fun, but now we're settling into the lifestyle, and nothing much new is happening, so the blogs are getting harder to write and aren't as interesting. Please keep in touch with us via email, phone calls, or facebook, and do PLEASE come on down for a visit.

When we start touring around Mexico, which I hope will be late this year, I may renew this or start a new one. Again, thanks for your enthusiasm and support on this venture (adventure?) -it has meant a lot.

Mel
