The BIG move

Since we found out that the previous tenants of our new place were moving out, we have been itching for ourselves to move in. Things became a little complicated with a huge tragedy. Blanca, who will be our new landlady lives in Oregon with her husband Junior. They are Mexicans and planning on retiring here soon. A few days ago Junior was shot to death in Oregon. There aren’t too many details only that the gunman has been arrested.

We went over to West Melaque to see if we could help out closing their place up but it seemed that things were all under control for now. We may be needed next week though.

The keys weren’t available so a trip was needed to go back later, so off to Rosita’s for breakfast, (one of three by that name that we know of.) I had Huevos Rancheros, two eggs on crispy tortillas, frioles and the whole thing covered in tomato sauce with avocado on the side; also a cup of very good coffee. The whole thing was delicious and mine came to 105 pesos or $6.72 Cdn, with Rosalie’s, it all came to about $12. We’ll be going back for dinner sometime before we leave Mexico.

This is the bacon we get here, delicious, with very little fat and as you can see another bunch of poppers are getting made.

Back to the new casa that evening to meet up with Castulo to get the keys so that the big move can begin.

It’s been fun trying to hook up with all the people we won’t see until next fall. A few days ago, after picking up Dan and Linda, who own a house in Pinal Villa the four of us took a panga across the lagoon in Barra to Restaurante Colimilla. A great time was had by all and at the end of the day and it was capped off with the Leafs beating Boston big time.

We’re looking forward to getting back to Canada. I think the boys at the pub are missing me; yea right: Peter said they already gave my seat away. I don’t think he would do that as he likes me too much. 🙂

Packing still needs to be done, but it’s a bit difficult as a lot of the stuff is needed day-to-day.
