While in Chicago we bought a bunch of stuff for Casa Majahua. We filled up two extra suitcases with laundry supplies (Shout, Bounce), bath mats, septic maintenance stuff (RidX), outdoor covers for electric outlets, outdoor thermometers, lamp shades, more door knobs that match what we already have, mosquito nets made for hammocks, measuring cups (large ones), more cutting boards, curry spice, irrigation supplies (emitters of all sizes, manifolds, line), two more outdoor speakers and a rather large and heavy receiver/amplifier for our media room! The latter we carried on!
It was fun shopping in Chicago. We can never remember everything, though. Should have brought down more Jasmine rice! Ugh!
Now you can get lots of this stuff in Mexico...it's just a challenge to find them in the Zihuatanejo area...so next time we need hard to find stuff, we're heading to Morelia (about 4 hours away). I've always wanted to visit Morelia so kill two birds with one stone!
Anyway... when we got home, our friends Pamen and Alberto were here (they arrived a day before us). They are staying with us for a week. Pamen is Alejandro's sister and we met her and Alberto over Christmas. So we offered for them to come visit anytime. We're so happy that they took us up on that. In return for the stay, they've been making us meals all week. And such good food!! We're going to be spoiled!
Tuesday was an especially lovely day. There were lots of puffy white clouds about and the sunset was incredible. Then at nightfall, the lightening bugs came out in force on Majahua Point. We sat on the sunset deck and watch them all light up all over the place... I've never seen anything like it. It was truly magical.
Well, I gotta go. A melon daiqury was just delivered to me in the media room which I'm sure is a signal to get off the computer.
