After a whirlwind decision to move from Halifax to Mexico. we set out on April 30, 2008. This blog began as an email log to some of our friends. A blog seems a more efficient medium to share impressions. We hope that it is entertaining and even informative.

Time change

We have had a couple of days of cloudy and cooler weather. However, it was sunny today, although the temperature only got up to about 26 C. Early this morning, Mexico turned the clocks back to Central Standard Time. I was confused and thought that that would put us only 1 hour behind Atlantic time in Halifax. However, it works the other way. Right now we are 3 hours later than Halifax and 2 hours later than Toronto and other places in the Eastern time zone. It will be that way until Canada and the US go back to standard time in about 3 weeks or so. It was strange to have it get dark at 6:30 p.m. I guess that we will have to eat before that time if we want to eat outside on the patio for dinner.

We are having a relatively quiet period, getting back into our routine. Open Circle this morning and then brunch at the Secret Garden Restaurant. We do have the final Viva la Musica! concert of the season Monday night. However, next Saturday, November 1st, there will be the invasion of Brunch Clubers from Halifax. Jack and Kate return until next April and 4 women are coming to stay for a month. We are very much looking forward to seeing everyone. Jack and Kate, of course, were the ones who invited us down last February and introduced us to Ajijic and Mexico. Thus, they know about things down here. However, for the 4 ladies, this will be new and we are interested to see how they react and respond to Mexico. So far, everyone who has visited seems to have enjoyed it here, although no one has so far followed our example.
