Posted by Shelley: This morning Trev and I went and got pedicures. 1 hour each for 130 pesos....that is less than $13 Canadian dollars. It was great and for that price you can't go wrong. My parents stayed at home since on Tuesdays the maid (Maria) and the gardener/pool guy (Jose) come in the morning.
After our pedicures we grabbed some fresh rasberries and blackberries and headed toward Jocotepec for some lunch somewhere new. There is a row of restaurants right along the lake and the waiters stand out in the middle of the street and try to flag you in to have a meal. It is always dead during the week. We chose to eat at La Bamboo. We were the only ones there, so we had our pick of seats right on the water. It is 29 degrees C. and there was a great breeze coming off the lake. It really does not get much better then this....it is Tuesday and we are enjoying pedicures and lunch on the lake in October.
Now I am sitting here on the veranda poolside back home and drinking a nice cold Sol lime and then I will take a dip in the pool which is now up and running.
But it's not all fun and games......we are going to be painting the house and wall around the house soon and yesterday we went and got some samples cans for the wall colour. So I need to paint some sample squares around the place so we can make sure we like the colour. We are going with a terra cotta colour on the house and a mustard colour on the wall.....grey poupon not french's.
Other then that we will not be doing much else today. Tacos for dinner and then cards and drinks on the veranda again.
Tomorrow is more running around and the Tiangis (street market) in Ajijic. After that...who knows - another new restaurant for lunch and more shopping. We have the shopping thing down pat. We bought some new furniture - an armoire for the casita and a new tv stand for the tv room. It's just temporary as we are having a much larger piece custom made to the exact size we need - and only $1,000 US - not bad at all.
