Music, Art and Canadians



As I said before, we went to a play reading. Well, we have also sampled an offering put on by the Northern Lights Music Festival. There was a wonderful violinist and pianist. They were just great. Now this isn't Mexican music, its international classical. It was very well attended maybe because it was free and so was the food. We met another couple from Canada. I don't know how the country gets along when most of them seem to be traveling all the time. Anyway, a very nice couple as are all of the people we have met. They told us about the gym that is quite close to where we are living.
After the concert, we had dinner at a wonderful restaurant with just the greatest service and ambiance. Armando's. Needless to say, it was dark by the time we were ready to walk home and I thought I might be fearful but I wasn't. Nothing to be frightened of. It was about 8 or 8:30 and on some blocks the families were just setting up food stands. It all looked great and smelled good but we had already eaten. Lots of children out and it is balmy.
On Sunday, we had breakfast at the Chapala Country Club with Steve and Cukie (?). He gave us a tour of the golf course and a look at some of the houses for rent or sale and then we drove to several other areas where expats rent or own just so we will have an inkling of the area if we decide to come again.
Yesterday, we went to a presentation given by an art instructor and of course, I signed up. So, I will be busy learning a little and having lots of fun. He supplies everything. A good deal. I am looking forward to it. Pete will join the gym and meet me after in the square. Such a life!
We have been enchanted by the music and mexican people in the square each evening. Today we may play golf otherwise we will just hang out. Pete may swim in the little lap pool.
