Nice table worktops while waiting for a flight, with connectivity and charging docks.

View from my bedroom window. At night you can actually hear Mexican music wafting through the night air just like in the movies.

No... more like Bride of Shrek, I think.

The furry, adorable children of Merv & Sandy.

Can you find the bird? Lovely singing!

Beautiful wallflowers abound.

I love doors. I have never seen bottles set in cement walls before, like at this cantina! Cool idea.

The Three Amigos

My cousins Angie and Steve came all the way from Puerto Vallarta to see my show! Here in the afternoon, they dropped in to say hi before exploring the neighbourhood and carnival.


I slammed my big toe into a cement step while wearing flip flops & rushing. The pain was excruciating. I thought I might have to do the show in bare feet. But I gently slid my foot into my high heels ... (see next slide)

...and voila, I could wear shoes. I walked slowly and carefully as I favoured the good foot but I think the toe was "bound" in with the shoe and I could get through it. I was stationary for most of the show but the audience didn't seem to mind.

With Sandy and Merv.

Went to the carnival after the show. Annette and Sandy doing what us gals are good at! I found a comfortable pair of sandals so I could walk better with that poor toe!

Machine guns and dolls for babies? Probably a coincidental display of products. LOL

Sandy, Annette, Richard & Merv. A fantastic group of people and new friends.

I was lucky enough to enjoy a visit with my cousin Steve and his lovely wife Angie at their condo in Puerto Vallarta.

Steve took me down to the beach and we hung out for a while!
