One and all,
Good things must, alas, come to an end, but as hard as it may be to believe, we are anxious to get home for awhile. I am sure that will wear off in a couple of days, but right now, we are ready!
As I have said previously, we are just enjoying the last of our days by going through our usual routine. There was a nice surprise yesterday, as we met up with Reg Bartel. He is a wheat/canola farmer from Mantiboa. A truly wonderful fellow and it was so great to sit on the beach and catch up. We will be looking forward to more time with Reg the first of the year.
We did wander through the park yesterday and found a few more of the 50+ cats that live there
It is quite exciting as there seems to be a cat or 2 or four behind every turn
They have even taken over an empty restaurant that is in the park
If you look carefully beyond the coffee table cat, two more in the background are bellied-up to the bar
We have been lunching regularly at La Fuente and enjoying their excellent kitchen. We had a divine fish ceviche on Tuesday and settled for simple quesadillas yesterday. Have yet to be disappointed in a meal yet.
For the last two nights it has been down to Roberto's for sunset and a small bottle of wine. Somehow we make it last for a couple of hours. Last night we managed a moment to catch Polley with our two favorite waiters there, Bruno (left) and Nasario (right).
They are great examples of the generosity, kindness and sincerity that we find so much a part of the Mexican culture.
While there we also managed to catch a pretty dramatic sunset
Nearly no place that can top PV for sunsets
It has been a great 7 weeks. Polley suggested it may have been her favorite time here. Partly, it was just us, no US or Canadian social obligations. I also think that we have grown comfortable with our life style here. We are truly no longer tourists, but just residents who enjoy the rhythms and simple pleasures of this place. We are anxious to come home, but I know we will look forward to resuming our lives here come January. Thanks to all of you for following our journey, albeit, we didn't, over the course of the weeks, travel very far. Best to all for holidays. It is our hope to see each and everyone of you in person at some point before 2013 draws to a close.
Ed and Polley Bowen
