rooms with views

I have taken some photos so I can be reminded of what I'll be coming back to in (only) 7 more months. We don't actually leave here for 3 weeks, but it's never to soon to pack away the memories.

This is out of our bedroom sliding door. When we first moved in the palm fronds were just at the top of the rataining wall. In another couple of years we won't be able to see over the top of them.

Block by block the electric lines have been put underground. We are looking forward to the day we no longer see all those wires. But meanwhile, we can sit on the balcony and watch the tremendous surf we are having. This is the time of year for the ola verde, gigantic waves that draw surfers from all over. Actually, not necessarily to our beach but definitely further south in Michoacan.

Our lucky guests look out their slider onto the little downstairs patio that has turned into a nice little haven. And speaking of guests, we are expecting two next Monday for a week or so. We'll shoo them out when the serious packing begins. Right now we are at the "clean out the bookshelves" stage; stacks of books and old New Yorkers will be hauled down to the library in the next few days. Certain select volumes will return home with us. I'm not sure why we do this. It's not as though we don't have libraries and bookstores galore at home!
