Morning Thoughts---Returning to Ajijic

The countdown has begun. I am returning to Ajijic next Tuesday. I learned the hard way about changing reservations on the phone. I came up here by way of San Francisco. I wasn't paying attention on the phone and she routed me back through Houston. That means a six hour flight and since she didn't ask me what seat I wanted, I had to take the last available seat in the middle. Six hours, flanked by two strangers.

So, my warning to everyone and to myself is to NEVER trust an agent on the phone. Now my trip starts at eight a.m. when I leave the house and doesn't end until well after midnight when I arrive at my casita. I will be sitting in the Houston airport for four and a half hours. Thanks to that agent, my trip has been doubled in length from when I came up here.

Oh well, life goes on. I will soon be back in my casita with Chico. I am going to miss my family and Portland friends. But I will be happy to be back to my own life. I am looking forward to walking the streets of Ajijic with Chico and to the Wednesday market, having lunch with my friends, going to the Lake Chapala Society, swimming at the hot springs spa.....

I wonder if the wild cats will know I am back and return to the yard in the mornings.  My landlord's helper ran them off after I left. She doesn't like cats. Or dogs. Poor Chico. I am sure he will be glad to have me back home again so he can snooze on my chaise lounge and have his stomach rubbed. I would like that too. If I had someone to rub my stomach. 

The Sunday Get Together

I think everyone had a good time on Sunday. We stayed until after eight in the evening. Hopefully, we will be able to do this again from time to time. Maybe when I come back in November. Or maybe in Ajijic. I have seen some of these people both here and in Ajijic. It was wonderful for me to hear their stories and see the love for Ajijic in their eyes because it makes me miss my home even more. I am going back on the 27th, just a little over a week away....  Thank you all for showing up and sharing your stories.

Reminder of the get together on Sunday at Walter Mitty's

Just a reminder of our get together on Sunday at Walter Mitty's. If you are interested, please e mail me so I will know how many people to expect. If you want the details, just scroll back a few posts. We will be meeting inside because there will be music on the patio at that time. They have reserved a table for us.
