It’s been a while since I’ve written. We have been busy and then for the second year in a row here I have been struck with something that makes me sleepy. Over the last two weeks I have had each week a day where I have slept around the clock. Normally I’m alight sleeper 5-6 hours a night at best, then on day I wake up sleepy and just want to go back to bed and sleep/ So I do. But fortunately that has only occupied a couple of days.
We had a great day out at Ixtapa Island, our friend Juan has a beach side palapa restaurant where Tina greeted us like it was yesterday that we were there. We swam, ate drank, feed the small deer (venado) by hand and of course the rabbits, one took such a liking to me he camped out under by beach chair. It worried me they called the deer venado, that is the spanish word for venison not deer, but then I learned they were all named and felt better
Another lovely day was a ladies day at Escollera, one of our favorite spots as they have an infinity pool to swim in with a gorgeous view of the bay and Zihuatanejo high up on the hill. There is a number of single women who live here year round and a larger number who live here seasonally. They have given up the frozen north were their whole social life would consist of the TV and occasional lunch dates with friends to join an active vibrant group of women who love life and want to experience everything. These are the smart ladies who have chosen not to wallow in sorrow over widowhood or suffer from a divorce but get out and
enjoy life to it’s fullest. It’s not just singles, several are married , this smart, funny, vibrant group of women just want to get the most out of retired life. I very much admire them very much and am thankful to be a part of them.
I’ve enrolled in a twice a week spanish class, the class is good, my progress is slow as I don’t study enough, but still I am learning. There are some sounds that I simply can’t wrap my tongue round. It is all conducted in Spanish, next Tuesday we are meeting at a restaurant for breakfast.
We’ve adopted a laundry routine of having them do the sheets and towels and anything we don’t worry about being ruined and I do one load in the washer and bring it home to hang on hangers on our back porch clothesline. Works quite well laundry costs about $150 pesos a week just under $7.50
We find we are quite entertained by simple things, the Senor commented look at this big dump truck coming up the street, it takes up the whole street. and with that the truck 
stopped almost in front of our balcony, And with only one forward pull to the left proceeded to get that hulking truck angled perfectly to back down our alley all that with cars parked on both sides of the street. The top of the truck was just inches under the corner of our balcony and slipped down the alley with just inches on each side. We were amazed and impressed. I have son and a grandson who drive trucks and I know they get into tight spaces, I wonder if they ever are this tight. Signing off KO
