Got my glasses

It was time to pick up my glasses. I was a little apprehensive as this is Mexico after all. Over the last week, we have seen a lot of reviews about this optician and they were almost all positive. I needn’t have worried because when I picked them up they were great. I chose not to get any kind of coating as they throw off the natural colour of things and I didn’t like that. now I can stop bumping into stuff.

While having drinks with Brent and Hauna, they asked us how we met and we started to tell them the story. It then occurred to me that some of the events were so entertaining that they might make a good blog.

I started to write and it was all coming back to me after almost twenty-seven. and a half years. Rosalie and I had a great time reminiscing. It started as one blog but I soon realized that to tell it right I had to break it down into three separate blogs. So far it looks okay, unfortunately, I can’t find the photos online to go along with them. I have them on an external hard drive in Canada but that doesn’t help me here so I will have to wait until we get back to do the posts.

Rosalie got her usual beauty treatments today while I get a much-enjoyed couple of hours to myself. Unfortunately, she sent me a selfie while in the process; you can see my reaction! I almost wish I hadn’t got my new glasses. Luckily we’re going to the beach after for a margarita so I may have to have two just to help me get over it.

A few of the restaurants here are starting to add 15-20% tips to their bills which we believe is illegal in Mexico. This is ticking a lot of people off. Sometimes they don’t notice the add-on and pay anyway, paying a tip on top of a tip. We caught it once so won’t go back to that particular restaurant. Now we scrutinize every bill.

I’m finding it hard to find things to write about lately. I’m sure everyone is tired of me keep saying “We went to the beach today” especially if you live up North right now with all the cold weather and snow. I think I may have to start making things up; over and above my usual exaggerations that is. That’s why I am so happy to change things up and write about our wedding.

I’ll keep trying, something will turn up.
