Gecko, in my kitchen.

Frog in my bathroom.

Fish in my bedroom.

You will never guess what I had for breakfast this morning! Correct….Paella! Still might have two more meals. The beauty of tortillas is that you can put almost anything in them and call it breakfast, lunch or dinner.
So what’s on my busy schedule this coming week? Besides the normal chores of washing dishes on Monday (translated: I have to leave my place while the maid does this) and dropping off laundry on Tuesday and picking it up on Wednesday (never said it was going to be easy living down here) I have booked a whale-watching sailing trip with the owner of Macondo (where I stay). He has a 22’ Santana (sailing vessel) and regularly takes paying tourists out for a 3 hour tour. (where have we heard that before, Gilligan fans?) Of all my years coming down to Sayulita, I have to admit that I have never been out on the ocean. Yeah, that’s sad, but it’s about to change this week. Don’t worry because I have recently updated my will and if you knew how well I swim, you would understand. Granite sinks slower than I do!
Besides the sailing, I hope to get back up to LaPenita to look for jewelry bargains and to backup all my photos before I accidentally erase 4 weeks of evidence that I am actually down here and not writing from the storage room at Festival in Fond du Lac.
I also hope to start my 5th book since I arrived which means I need to finish my 4th book. Brilliant, John! (that momentous event might happen tonight, unless I can download the latest episodes of 24 and Prison Break)
I have also begun to retake my Wall Street Basics course which consists of 25 hours of lecture (on 25 CDs) It’s a great refresher and reminder of what a good stock trader needs to do to be successful. It’s also a huge guilt generator if you haven’t been following his instructions verbatim.
So to sum up the list: laundry, dishes, sailing, reading, studying, and going to the market.
Today’s photos are of my walls. Now that might not sound very interesting….and it isn’t, but some of you have been complaining about too many sunsets.
Enjoy!
