<\/a>Guadalajara campaign against drunk driving – cute!<\/p><\/div>John and I really are loving the rainy season here. Rains are off and on, unpredictable, but I find them so pleasant. And the temperatures are great, usually in high 70s or low 80s. John said I slept right through a raging storm night before last and again this morning. We’re especially enjoying the cool temperatures on the balcony when we have our coffee on the weekend.<\/p>\n Last Sunday morning we took our friend Sarah for breakfast at the Oaxacan place – we had fun catching up with her. We originally met her when she TDY’d in Ciudad Juarez during our first tour. <\/p>\n We had a small book club meeting at our house Monday night which was pleasant, and on Thursday we showed our new next-door neighbor his new apartment (he just arrived at Post). <\/p>\n John was the duty officer until Wednesday morning, so we had plenty of calls from Americans to keep us busy after hours – glad it’s over for now! <\/p>\n Saturday we went fan shopping – they are crazy expensive here for some reason, but we finally tracked down a couple that were affordable. During that outing, John took me to his favorite fish taco place – it was so fun and the tacos were delish. We also walked around the Sta. Teresita neighborhood for a while – it’s a small neighborhood downtown with a thriving commerce district – very old fashioned with a market. Pomegranates are now in season and I bought a cup of seeds for a dollar – they were sweet and delicious!<\/p>\n We received sad news that my friend Pamela’s dad passed away on Monday – he was 94. She was such a comfort to me just a few weeks ago when Mom died; I hate that she is going through this now. I heard that his memorial service yesterday was very nice. Rest in peace, Jack.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" John and I really are loving the rainy season here. Rains are off and on, unpredictable, but I find them so pleasant.
