April 2ndGood FridayHad a reasonable night last night and am all geared up for a day of sunbathing and Dr Tony Hill (Wire in the Blood) – it’s a good book that I can’t put down. My German friends go home today, I will miss them a lot, they have been great company. Hope to stay in touch in the future. We have exchanged email addresses. I decided to have all my washing done today so that I haven’t got to bend over doing itat home, also not s...

Jurgen is becoming more amusing as he relaxes and has quite a good sense of humour. We have all decided to go to Tula ...

March 29thWoke up today and it is overcast and chilly, probably not English chilly, more Mexican chilly – ( little play on words there? ). The word is that it will warm up by lunchtime but it is definitely a hoodie morning.! Air France are due again today, later on this morning, they usually ride, have lunch and then have a sunbathe and go back about 5pm.
