Wow! Fifteen weeks have gone by and only two remain. There is some anxiety in these final days that lead to change and great expectations for the future, so I guess that’s a good thing. Current thinking is that I will return to Guanajuato next fall.

Día del Amor y la Amistad
The people of Mexico are much more expressive in love than Canadians. One obvious example can be found in their traditional ranchera music.
It was a beautiful day Sunday February 14 and the streets of Guanajuato were filled with couples carrying flowers etc as well as vendors of all sorts of Valentine gifts. My valentine and I went for dinner and then to a concert of romantic music in Teatro Principal.
La Riviera Nayarita
The trip to the beach was a total success. I have finally learned how to spend the day on the beach. One needs: beach umbrellas, a table, beach chairs, toys, and a cooler full of food and beer.
We slept in the small town of Lo de Marcos and started the day with a jog on the local beach. After a late breakfast we drove to a different beach each day: Guayabitos, Los Ayala, and Chacala.
The drive home Monday was brutal as somehow I consumed tainted food, and even though I had taken Dukoral before I left, I got sick. We stopped as I felt nauseous, I got out of the car, fainted in the heat, and then vomited. I recovered somewhat after that.
Tuesday I felt poor, was struck by severe diarrhea Wednesday and had to stay in bed all day. Finally decided to take the Cipro that brought from Canada just in case. I am recovering now thankfully.
