Holiday Wishes

Dear Friends and Family,

When you bask in temperatures in the mid-80s, it is a little difficult to conjure up the Christmas spirit. Activity in PV is certainly picking up, as Polley and I sat on a crowded Malécon last night, viewing at a bit of a distance the masses of people wandering up and down. Actually, it is a bit more enjoyable when there are fewer people, as then you can pick out individuals and make rude comments. Hey, it passes the time and never ceases to amuse us.

We are not quite sure what Christmas will bring to us down here. We have decided on getting a luscious "Pollo Feliz" grilled chicken on Christmas Eve and enjoying it for our Christmas dinner. I think we may do a Christmas morning breakfast as well. We still do not have a clear idea of what will be open that day. There are lots of opportunities at the hotels for a prix fixe meal, but I think we will opt for something a little closer to home.

Today, we are joining our friend, Reg, for a trip out to some "fish shacks" he knows about and swears by. Reg may not know a lot, but he is a serious eater. So, we will follow his lead and then report back. I am still struggling with getting photos into this blog. Somehow, between Greece and here nothing seems to mesh. I continue to explore the problem, but with little success thus far.

We did manage to link up with one of our waiter-friends this past week. Ricardo, from Langosta Loca, was one of our favorites. With the political drama of Langosta's new two story building, they were shut down. This past week, they reopened and while Ricardo was not there, we were able to track him down at another establishment where we found him on Saturday. He wants to return to Langosta, but will wait a month to make sure they will remain open. Langosta seems confident and I have seen their permits posted on the wall, but Mexican politics is very precarious and there still might remain an additional chapter. We shall see.

So, with that, let Polley and I wish you the very best for the Holidays: A Very Merry Christmas (Feliz Navidad) and a Happy New Year (Año Nuevo). All the best for 2015!

Ed and Polley
