Internet Problems


Even though Totonaka always has difficulty keeping their internet up and running we will try to keep our blog up to date. Our days are pretty much routine by now with Maggie trying to get us up at 7:30 and succeeding at 8:00. The morning is spent doing the necessary chores such as going to Tony's Outdoor Market for fresh fruit and bread, cleaning and reading [Fred has his morning coffee while I do all the reading]. We bike to the Athletic Club at 11:30 for an hour or so and then we take Maggie for some exercise in the desert. We usually go for another bike ride later in the afternoon and are venturing further out of town each time we ride.

Occasionally we will walk to the beach and watch the dolphins heading back and forth between the estuary and the deeper waters. The sun sets behind the hills at 4:50 so we try to eat shortly after that and then it is an evening spent in front of the TV or out on the patio people watching, such as last night when our neighbour tried to direct his friend into an RV spot without spilling a drop of his martini. I think he succeeded!

Overnighters have been speaking of frozen pipes in Tucson and Quartzite so we are grateful that we went the extra miles to get to warmer weather. The daily temperatures are around 24 degrees with the nights going down to 10 degrees.
