No pain this morning! It took 1½ vicodin, a couple of dolac, warm salt water, quite a few kahlua and milks, a call to the family doctor in Cal (Country) and a hot water bottle on my face over the course of the evening but I will say when I finally got rid of the pain...I sure slept well!
I'm going back a bit to cover stuff I never put on the blog. This is a picture of our dearest friend and family member, Country, walking along in Tulum with Mimi looking to buy something. We picked her up at the airport on Dec 19th and she stayed 10 days. We miss her a lot, she is so easy to live with and so much fun to be around. I wish I had taken more pics of her while she was here but the only other ones I have she would kill me if I put them up. (Heh! veiled bribery attempt here)
Country has been here before but every time we've taken off to travel in the RV and she hasn't spent more than a night or two in our condo. So, this time she had just gotten back from Thailand which was a whirlwind of tours and travel and she wanted to just kick back. Turns out, she loves this place and, while I had been wavering on whether I wanted to sell it or not, I'm now under strict instructions not to sell it! I think she's right and it helped me to clarify what I wanted.
Color! I love the riot of colors in Mexico. The land itself is full of color; the ocean, the flowers, the jungle, the dirt itself. But it doesn't stop with nature, everything man has a hand in gets lots of color and not the colors we think are "normal" NOB (that's ex-pat talk for North of the Border)
These greens for instance, I love them but they aren't colors you would normally see up north on almost anything. Even the poor have color on their houses, no paint is thrown away here as someone will take it home and add another color to their house.
One of my favorite houses here in Akumal was a similar color, that's a picture above of the front door as it used to look. It was gorgeous but it got bought by some gringos who immediately painted it beige. I thought they should be shot.
