Life in Bucerias is not as hectic and crazy as the South Side of Vallarta. It is very pretty and peaceful and has very friendly people- just not as many! Every day we take a long walk on the beach in the morning and spend time at our private pool in the afternoon. For the most part the beach is deserted but at the point where the town square meets the beach there are about a dozen or so very nice restaurants and bars that are only a five or less minute walk for us. The amazing thing about this part of Mexico is the numerous very excellent restaurants!
Yesterday we went back into Vallarta to see Sr. Fox at Café Roma-laptop in backpack to see if he could resolve the problems I am having connecting to the internet. It is not me or my laptop according to Fox- who had a computer business in Winnipeg in a previous life. Unfortunately, out landlady had to return to the USA just before we arrived due to a family emergency. So the problem is most likely with her connection or modem. The only real problem is that it limits my posts and after January 1 there won’t be many if any more because I do not have a connection at our next place in the Yucatan.
I am only posting one photo because I am including a link to Webshots and the pictures I have uploaded there. The Winter Solstice Sunset here was one of the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen. I have a lot of photos and hope if you click on the slide show you will feel as if you were here on the beach with us watching this incredible sight!
I hope the link works and you can see them!
It is Christmas Eve here in Bucerias and I have to say to everyone who has been following our adventures how much it means to Gail and me to hear from you and to know you are enjoying reading the blog.
In a small way though I cannot help playing a line in my mind – made famous by Bing Crosby and courtesy of Irving Berlin….
“but it’s December the 24th, and I am longing to be up north”……
Well, I know it is just sentiment today and I know I will be over this as soon as I talk to friends and family tomorrow on Christmas Day and hear about the snow and rain and cold!
Feliz Navidad, Merry Christmas and God Bless Us Every One!
Love from the snowbirds Karen and Gail
