¡Feliz Navidad y Prospero Año Nuevo!
I (Ellen) found some English Christmas CD´s yesterday. Very strange -- they keep singing about Jack Frost nipping at you nose, snowmen, and people dressed up like eskimos. Huh, we´re wearing shorts and trying to find some shade to sit under. It´s pretty weird to be listening to Christmas carols while sweating under our awning.
I have a new toy. It´s called a wrist brace. I took a fall in Cabo (the land of obstacle course sidewalks and streets) and hit my right arm pretty hard. I thought it would heal on its own and it did seem to, but then started hurting again. I had a doctor look at it here in Mazatlan. He said the fall most likely caused a fissure in my arm bone, which healed on its own, but that the tendons were now inflamed since they had never been rested. So now I have a most impressive wrist brace and I´m taking anti-inflamatories for 15 days: quince dias. ¨Quince dias or quesadillas¨ asked someone. Ha Ha. I´d rather eat quesadillas than wear this for quince dias.
We´re headed toward Zihuataneo from here and then we will slowly work our way north into the Sea of Cortez. That´s our plan as of now -- always subject to change of course. We´ve been eating great food here in Mexico. This is for our friend Kevin in Oregon: yummy! yummy!! yummy!!!
