\"Sunset,<\/a>

Sunset, Puerto Vallarta<\/p><\/div>\n

It’s hard to imagine how cold it is right now in Arkansas! Due to the altitude here, Guadalajara is blessed with wonderful weather. While the locals think it’s getting cold here, I’m still fine wearing sandals and short-sleeved shirts, perhaps with a sweater in the morning. Lovely!<\/p>\n

This week was pretty calm. Tuesday was Veteran’s Day; it was a bit rainy and overcast here. We stayed in most of the day because our internet was out and the technician was in and out of the apartment all day. He finally got it fixed, but we were without it for several days – in a way it was pleasant. Without it, there was no surfing or TV since we stream everything – but we got caught up on talking and reading, so it was nice!<\/p>\n

An entry-level officer started his rotation through my section this week, so I spent a lot of time training him to adjudicate citizenship. It’s so interesting that it’s fun to train.<\/p>\n

John and I had a nice dinner out at La Tequila after work one evening. We were also introduced to a good salad place for lunch this week, so we ate there several days.<\/p>\n

Saturday afternoon we went to Cindy and Raoul’s. They had several vendors at their house, plus it was a good chance to eat and drink and visit. I bought a pair of earrings and a necklace, both done by Cindy – very pretty. <\/p>\n

After years of feeding Flavia only dry cat food, this week I switched her to “wet” food, after reading some about the benefits of wet food (better hydration for kidneys). She seems to love it and has adapted just fine to the switch!
