Mexico, got out of town

Let me tell you something :DThis is going to belong to my "Well, if you can believe this!" file.Remember last June I stepped sideways and wrenched my right ankle? Well, Wednesday evening I stepped sideways again...this time off a chair holding a suitcase, and wrenched my left ankle. Off to emerg for an X-ray and luckily it's just a bad sprain with a probable torn tendon. (That's what I get for having figure skater's ankles.)That's it. I had enough. We flew off, wrenched ankle and all, and landed in Mexico for the week.047-copy-copyGoodbye Raincoover and hello blue sky.002-copy-copymexico1This time, we chose to stay in the same little out of the way resort in Puerto Vallarta where we stayed 11 years ago just for the romance of it.030-copy-copyI'm happy to report that we have the same warm weather, cool ocean and beach sellers as expected,020-copy-copy016-copy-copythe same palm trees, pelicans and frigate birds,018-copy-copyand the beautiful, tropical blooms I love to sketch all around us.flowersI'm glad we're here and we have this chance to relax.mexico2053-copy-copyAnd today, all afternoon, this beautiful bird was swooping over the pool deck, expertly manoeuvring his huge wingspan between the palm trees.I looked him up and he's a turkey vulture.Think I might sketch him tomorrow.033-copy-copyBut for today, we'll just stay in the warmth and the sun and relax under the palm trees.048-copy-copy
