…I NEED A VACATION!

Today I bussed to Walmart to buy a Rechargeable Water Pic , and food for my Pot Luck contribution for the Christmas Dinner at the Library. One hour out, one there, one back. It was a beautiful day but No Walnuts for my salad and nut Granola and No Water Pic.

Richard moved into Mariposa B & B so wanted to give me his “Kitchen” stuff as he was leaving in a week for Columbia. He was checked into the same room I stayed in when I arrived in Oaxaca 4 years ago. I took my bag of “stuff” and we headed for the Santa Domingo Plaza roof top Happy Hour. After a Mango Margarita…best I’d ever had…and a glass of wine with a meat platter to share…we headed for last call at Tapas y Vino for one more wine. It is near my bus stop. I got back home with my “stuff” and a leftover meat platter.

My maid Adelina stopped by to see if 11 am was OK to clean house tomorrow. This is a rough life! Tomorrow I’m supposed to travel to a village for a music “jam” session. I also have to start preparing food for the Pot luck but it is the 21st now. 23rd is the Radish Festival. 24th is a big deal up until Midnight Mass…I will take my camera.

I returned to the Organic Market while Adelina cleaned. I ate Farm Fresh Eggs and Vegetables then visited the library and just relaxed before returning. Richard wants to return for Mango Margaritas…how can I refuse. Tomorrow is the Radish Festival.

I left to meet Richard but stopped at the San Pablo Center to take some photos and then up the Acala to have a Mango Margarita.

Richard and I went to the Zocalo to watch the progress as they were building the Platforms for the people to see the Radish Sculptures on display.

On the way home I stopped at what looked like a block party but I think was a wedding with the brides whole community bussed in from the country…very festive.
