Update

We are still enjoying our time here in Puerto Escondido. The only problem I've had is that my beloved Blackberry has died. I haven't taken any photos since then of course so new photos will have to wait a bit.
Since that time we have met up with two friends from Collingwood and had a wonderful evening at Fresh and went back to their place, Casa Lily, for wine and laughs. It was wonderful to see people from home. That was the night my phone died. A friend here at Vivo works for Blackberry and she managed to order me a new one at a good price, and have it shipped to Edmonton from Waterloo. It arrived at Andrea's desk last Friday and she was able to bring it down when she came on Tuesday. I haven't set it up yet and need some help. Meanwhile we are having a wonderful visit with Andrea. The weather back in Edmonton is cold and windy but here it's still wonderful. We do notice it is more humid and can be very hot. But relief is just a dunk in the pool and then finding a bit of shade to be totally comfortable. We haven't ventured into town with Andrea as yet but will do so today I think. We have several excursions planned. Andrea takes lots of photos and I will post them when I can. Last night we went to dinner at our neighbors' Lorne and Elaine. It was so pleasant and Andrea felt welcomed by everyone. We had to turn down two other invitations for last evening so our social life is good here. There was an amazing event here on Monday evening. A dinner /dance organized by our friend Bruce. He had booked a wonderful couple who sing beautifully. She has a smoky voice that lends itself to songs I love like Smooth Operator. We had a wonderful 3 course dinner of either chicken or fish. Almost 100 were there. There was a silent auction to which many people donated beautiful and interesting items or activities. All this is to benefit the Vivo Foundation that serves the community in great ways. Mostly it was great fun with friends here and we danced and enjoyed ourselves all evening. I'm sure they will hold another event like this again. It was a shame Andrea missed it by a day. She would have loved it too.
