DAY TWENTY

Hello all, it's the mysterious guest blogger again. (It's Jackie if you hadn't guessed). I see this is harder than it appears! Grant deals with the technology every day (and I think he does amazingly well for a "senior", don't you?), then I have to remember not to write too much (whoops!) and also to take the pertinent photos...pressure, pressure, pressure! haha
We walked to the nearby grocery store this afternoon and I was thrilled to see a tortilla making machine in the shop window (except there's no window); and also huge, glitzy pinatas for sale, hanging above our heads as we walked down the sidewalk. Wish we could bring one home!

Tonight after dark we heard pop after pop after pop; the noise sounded louder than firecrackers, but not as sharp as gunshots (thank goodness!). After starting laundry on the 4th floor, we went out on the big open air marble patio, I stood up on a chair, and then we could see fireworks going off across the main road. A  lady here told us it was a holiday tomorrow - a big day, Dec. 12th, the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. I kind of wish we weren't leaving tomorrow - I'd like to see the parades...
