So much to talk about, but where to start? How about the weather? Well, the majority of the time it has been very warm. When there is a breeze off the ocean it's comfortable, but when the breeze dies down it can get pretty hot and muggy. The remedy is cold lemonade and a fan...
I am beginning to get to know a few people here, and my Spanish, although limited, is improving. The people here, so far, are wonderful. I was fortuate enough to receive two wonderful friends, Tami, and her son Sam. Tami's hubby, and dear friend of mine, Dennis, was unable to come. Dennis and Tami and Sam have been coming here for years, and young Sam has grown up coming here. He has grown up with several of the Yelapan boys here, and I'm sure that every time he comes and goes, they miss him... and I know he misses them. Tami and Sam introduced me to several of the restaurants and many of the local natives they know here. They fully embrace the culture, a beautiful one at that, and are enthusiastic about exploring every nook and cranny of Yelapa. Thank you Tami and Sam for everything! I love you guys! And Dennis, if you read this, I missed you! Your family rocks!
While Tami and Sam were here we had one very interesting morning: while in a dead sleep I was awakened by a loud screaming noise. It sounded as if it were right next to me! "What in the world?", I thought. When I awoke I understood that it was either a burro or a horse. Then I heard Tami laughing somewhere in the house. I laughed a little and zonked back out again. When I got out of bed, Tami and Sam said that about six horses had come from the hill behind the house and had come into the house and made their way down below to the mango tree. What I had heard was a very loud whinny. Sam said he thought one horse was right by my bedroom... poor thing was probably stuck in the house and didn't know the way out! They wanted the mangos I guess. I don't know how none of them broke a leg. It's quite the drop off... I guess they used the stairs! If I lived in Yelapa I would have a burro or a horse. They are invaluable here. I posted several photos on facebook today... I hope you check there to take a peek.
