Up at 6 am, the sun is up by 6:30 am MTZ, the wind continues to blow strong (all night) and cold and it is partially cloudy; winter has definitely hit this area but the good news is that it’s supposed to warm up to mid 70’s by the end of the week so I guess we can suffer a little longer! I called AT&T with Skype as I had problems with my connection. Skype was really breaking up but I got everything fixed. We went grocery shopping then on to “RICE & BEANS” Restaurant for lunch. Their hamburgers were very good and so were the French fries. We came home and put everything away then read and watched the tube. The wind is still blowing but not as strong as this morning. HH was at Frank’s again with the fireplace going full blast; it ended with darkness. Dinner was pork chops, potatoes and a new dish: cabbages sweeten with sugar and apple...delicious!
We still have some winds this morning, not as strong but still cold. I ventured out with shorts today and a jacket and it was somewhat bearable thanks to the warm sun. Val decided that it was time to clean the house so a couple hours was spent on that then it was reading time. HH at Frank’s then for dinner, I BBQ’ed a couple of steaks we bought locally and I also cooked fresh mushroom and sliced onion in oil and butter. Val made a salad and some greens. It was delicious but the steak was a bit tough. We couldn’t watch SURVIVOR tonight as the station was off the air for some reasons!?
The wind is finally gone but it was still a cold night; 45*F this morning at 6:30! We went for our mutual walks. We went to town for lunch and had a pizza and beer at “FAT BOYS”, a local bar where the local Gringos hang out. In the afternoon, I played bocce balls with the gang while Val went shopping with Elaine. HH at Rudiger and Charlotte then BBQ chicken for dinner along with rice and Brussels sprouts.
It’s warming up, slowly but surely although the early mornings are still somewhat cool. After our walks, Val made a delicious breakfast then we went out and read for a while. In the afternoon, it was another game of bocce then HH at Frank’s. Another quiet day and evening at home! I am looking forward to moving on.

Sounds like you're having a wonderful time. Now all you need is for the wind to die down and warm up a bit, then it will be perfect. ENJOY
