All Packed

Linda and Beth on the last visit to Barra.

Over the last few weeks of our stay in Melaque, we have said goodbye to many of our friends and even connected with some new folks.  Our housemate, Beth, spent her last week gathering souvenirs, visiting her favorite eateries, and saying adios to Melaque. We have grown close and it is sad to see her leave.  We took a final trip to Barra, had breakfast at Bananas, and then the next day walked Beth to the bus station so she could catch her transport north to Puerta Vallarta, where she would fly out and on to her home in Florida.

Once Beth was off on her adventure home, our casa was very quiet. Each day we had numerous things to do to get ready to fly out. We took time to get together with our good friends; playing cards with Berry and Jill, and having dinners with Grant and Jacquie or AnneMarie and Mack.  It has been so fun to reconnect with these wonderful friends after our three-year hiatus.

Breakfast at Bananas.

We were able to spend some time with new friends that we met for the first time down south also.

Funny, Ethan and Pam are from Coeur d'Alene, but we had to travel south to get to know them. Linda has known Pam for many years but in a professional way. It was really fun for us to share our lives and discover many commonalities. It's a crazy world.

The next time we will be posting will be from somewhere up north.  We have a couple adventures planned, but not in the near future.  There is much to do once we are home. We are hoping the seasons have changed and are looking forward to sitting in comfortable chairs.
