We are currently in San Pedro de Laguna, Guatemala on the shores of the absolutely stunning Lake Atitlan. Jon is going to study Spanish here and I am making for Honduras to meet a friend for a week.
Having not yet written about Mexico, time is bearing down. Although serious reflection is still a work in progress, I note the academy has announced it`s review of Mexico and further information is expected.
Inaugural ¨Best In Mexico¨ Awards
ACC award for Risk Management
Honorable Mention : Skillful use of a cellphone to text while riding motorcycle loaded with bread.Winner : Albert Einstein`s Mexican progeny who rides a motorcycle with wife and newborn infant slung over wife`s shoulder.
Best Performance in 80s Revival
Jon Bon Jovi himself is suspected of having played Mazatlan Carnaval to a packed and appreciative audience. Back to his best of long hair, low buttoned shirt and swooning guitar solos, he then ramped it up a gear with dancing girls.
Worst Coffee in Mexico
Runner Up: This award was tightly contested by, well every cafe north of Mexico City. If you thought
American`s did it badly, wait till you see what a Mexican can do.

Unintended Irony Award

Just back from Stephanie’s wedding in Sydney. We met Chris, Margaret’s son, visiting Sydney. He’s working in Basle - a great contact for you in Europe…. We had a thrilling time riding cable cars in the Blue Mountains! I’m visiting Anne-Marie - just finished painting the house.
I’m really enjoying reading your messages.
I was talking to Phyllis today… she said there’s a room for you in Caggle anytime!
Lots of love
Grandma
