Back on line...........ufff!/Happy Valentine's Day!

Greetings and salutations from the windy Baja....the kiters are loving it and the rest of us are waiting for it to stop! But not to complain.

Once the rain stopped, all was good again. Everyone who has been coming here for years says that this is the strangest weather EVER.

Today was the big Costa Brava yard sale. I had nothing to sell but bought a few things that I could use. Mike says that they are not necessary! Ha ha! What does he know. I didn't spend much.

Last week I went to San Jose with some friends from "outside" the park. I always have a great time with them. We went in quest of more secundas but in the search for them we found a fabric store. One of the gals is a seamstress so she was happy to find it! We also found a bunch of silly masks for the Mardi Gras parade that took place here on Friday. It was organized by the Rotary chapter here and was mostly attended by the gringos. Afterwards there was a dinner that consisted of smoked chicken. Sad thing was is that the chicken was NOT done! Red, bloody...yuck. I was so hungry too but the beans and coleslaw were fabulous! Amazingly no one, that we know about, got sick!

Your life in the baja sounds and looks like so much fun. I would especially love to go to the market/artisan sales. The beaded mask is beautiful and so is the African tulip. I love Mexico. Something about it makes me yearn to return. I have to go back to work on March 22. I am DREADING it, Any rich single men down there that would like a fun companion? Have fun and keep in touch, Sally
