It's the season!

Several friends who blog from paradise are getting nudges (along with me) from friends and family members about our blogs. Like we are lazy or something!
Look it. It is December and while Christmas is coming, that's the least of our worries. We have been dealing with the Virgin Holidays. Feast of the Immaculate Conception and yesterday the Virgin of Guadalupe Feast Day, which really was celebrated the day and night before. We are coming up on Posadas, sort of block parties to show there is room at the inn in Advent.
Now, we aren't all partying all the time. But a lot of Mexicans are! And they are our workers. So more falls on us and the reservation inquiries are something else! A lot of time to answer that email while checking and filling the calendars, etc.
Hey, landlords aren't the only ones with problems. The Quinata Roo Education Secretary did not declare yesterday at day off for schools, although it was a banking holiday. Absentee rates were 40-50 percent at Isla Mujeres schools, just days before Christmas break of nearly a month.
So forgive our tardiness in blogging. It's just that we are stymied by the spirit of the holidays!

Who do I trust?

Blog readers have heard about Sergio before. When it's time to get out of Dodge, and the calendar clock is ticking away, who ya gonna call? Sergio!
He's painting over the faded paint of the fence and doing a bang up job on the new gates. He's coming early tomorrow so Mirka from Poland can chill herself in a clean pool without having to go elsewhere while she adjusts to the time difference. She came into the house this afternoon decidedly HOT in her travel clothes from a still chilly Poland.
Oh, she's worked with Bedouins in the heat. But here, we have humidity, the kind she won't get accustomed to quickly.
She'll be traveling through Mexico and Central America, probably going back home from Panama.
Tonight, after a hearty nap, we will probably go hear some live music in Centro. It's been two long travel days for the nomad!
