My Routine and My New Bank Account

I am a creature of habit. Maybe that is one reason I relate so well to dogs , cats and most other animals too. We love routine, to know what is expected. This is why I am not a good traveller. I am a going to one place and staying a long time kind of person.

Same breakfast at the same place every morning. A walk through the same neighborhoods. Lunch at Gigi's. Afternoons at home in my garden or in the garden at the lake Chapala Society, reading a good book. Evenings out at a local restaurant for live music and dancing. Sundays at Hotel Real De Chapala with the Mariachis. Saturday nights dancing to the Cuban Band. A movie every so often, maybe a yard sale, if I can find one.

If it works, don't fix it.... But tomorrow I am going to take the bus to Jocotopec. Hope to get in some photos of new things. I don't want to always be putting on photos of the same things. I know my routines can be boring to anyone else.

I took many more photos of the Mariachis when they were singing around our table this afternoon, but photos get boring. Music never gets boring, at least to me it doesn't... For many years I have been collecting CDs of my favorite Mariachi and Cuban music. I have walked many miles to this music. But nothing can compare to being surrounded by real people, singing love songs and smiling at me. When I am in the midst of all this energy I can't help but thinking, How did I get so lucky? Or, This is my idea of heaven.....

When I am too old to walk or leave my bed I will think of these days of love songs. This is my new bank account which I am investing in every day here. My bank account of beautiful memories......I may have lost a small fortune in my bank account in the States but I have already built up another fortune in happy memories here in Mexico.
