Today we found out our computer is deader nor a doornail. We didn´t expect that one, so now we have to decide what to do. Right now I´m in an internet place, but that´s not the best place to be for the internet. I´m sad. I loved our little laptop.
Otherwise things are pretty good. I thought for a hot moment I had shingles around my waist line. I was trying to explain this to a pharmacy when a gringo told me there was a Dr. next door. She cost me all of 79 cents to tell me I had hongos, which literally can mean I have mushrooms, but it can also mean a fungus. So I´m being treated for that. I felt guilty only paying 79 cents until I got the bill at the pharmacy, which she owns. That was for $31 in American so she´s doing alright.
Our New Year´s Eve was spent down at the Malecon, which is the board walk, where we watched the fireworks along with a LOT of gays and Mexican families. PV has become a big gay draw. Two years ago it was just an area called the Blue Chairs but now it´s most of downtown, so we had front row seats to a lot of happy gays. The Mexican familes were fun to watch because they take the whole family with them. None of this baby sitter stuff. Everybody goes to the resturant and then they all walk up and down the Malecon and oooh and ahhh at the fireworks together. I like that. The dress for the night, for those young enough and of the right gender was short, short sparkly dresses and high, high heels. I could only feel smug knowing what their podiatrist bill will be like in the future but right now, they looked great.
New Year´s Day was spent inside because it rained steadily for about 16 hours! The stores that were smart enough to have umbrellas and ponchos did a bang up business.
The guy next to me is coughing, so I think I´ll get off before I´m writing from my sick bed.
Have a happy 2013!
Carefully, Rita

Raining for 16 hours? !Que Cosa! That's called "raining cats and dogs" almost anywhere, including Mexico.
