Gardening in Mexico

Our Los Ayala Garden - looking good!

Finished Guestroom and bath - Finally!

Our new guest room and bath, finally finished. My Bathing Beauty!! in the new hammock.

New Mexican construction

Finally, I feel better and can share some photos of the new guest bedroom and outdoor kitchen. The windows and security bars turned out so beautifully, with waves of iron and spirals that are matched on the door. We are going to wait until next fall to create the stained glass arch and sconces as well as the mirror for the bathroom. Tile and floors go in next week and I promise more photos!

Dancing Horse - floor show!

Last Thursday, we were dressed and ready to celebrate our friend Bety's birthday. As we stepped out of our camper a stunning black Frisian began to dance in front of us. The owner of Tachos RV park is now raising Frisians (horses for the uninitiated) and training them to dance. This big boy pranced, danced, sidled and generally wowed us - What a floor show to start off our wonderful evening at Barcelona Tapas Restaurant in Puerto Vallarta.

David's new stained glass - small ones for sale

These are so pretty and we can sell them for 250 pesos!

Elena's Tomales Vera Cruz Cooking Class

Wonderful group! Elena sent the special palm leaves from her Vera Cruz plant and we made dozens of delicate delicious tomales. We topped it all off with Pineapple-Chile Margaritas - a hit!!!

After a challenging return - no water system, no electricity or phone service - thank goodness for David!!! He can fix anything!!! We are now home with everything working well. The new construction is going well and we will put in the plumbing and electric next week. Doors and windows will follow, then paint. Should be finished by mid-January and ready for guests!
