November 24, 2009. Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico. Hurrah.

Why do we enjoy Mexico? Ken and I discussed it last night over dinner, sitting at the Marina restaurant, El Pescatorie. Here are the three reasons.
1. The Weather. It is perfect. You keep the windows open or sit on the balcony, it is all the same. Dining outside by the boats was comfortable. I call it "in door outdoor" weather. Eighty degrees during the day is comfortable with seventy in the evening a delight. No snow, no rain, no wind, no ice. The weather here is perfect.
2. The People. They are pleasant and helpful and hard working, also neat and tidy. They are exactly opposite to their image, who Americans think are lazy.
3. The Responsibilities. Here we have none. Ken has no chores needing to be done. Our only tasks are to keep interested, so we explore and read and wander and exercise. Last time we were here last April, after two weeks we were ready to leave, but we are trying it again and will be here for nineteen days. A life time with a to-do list leaves us vaguely uncomfortable, but also exhilarated too.

There are more reasons that we love coming to Mexico, but the three most important ones are at the top of our list. What is most interesting to us is that no one else seems to want to come to visit us. It is fascinating, but true.
