Wednesday Roberto and Tuso, the two handyman construction guys for Croc Condos knocked down the wall between our studio and the one next door to give us more space and turn the two into a 1 bedroom suite.

Afterwards Melissa put on a really nice spread of burgers, arrachera, tacos and a chorizo/cheese fondue for the workers as well as all the Crocodillians that live in the complex. I see Chorizo with melted cheese becoming a major food group in my future – yum!

It was a nice evening and as well as good food gave us a chance to meet our neighbours who all seemed very friendly. Ruth and I spent a fair amount of time chatting with Melissa’s brother Alex who is quite well travelled, loves Vancouver and seems to be a pretty cool guy.

Thursday they built the door which is black.. it made me feel like the Rolling Stones song in reverse; not that I want a red door either.. Red or Black, it will resemble the back area of a video store…yknow.. where they put the ‘bad’ movies…haha Oh well, it’s nothing a poster can’t fix one day.

As I write this it is my last day as a 42 year old and it feels as though so much has happened in this one year.

If someone told me exactly one year ago that before the year was up I would have moved to Belize, settle in Mexico and the zillion events in between, I would have thought they were seriously mentally deranged. I guess it goes to show that no matter how sure you may be about what will and will not happen or what your plans may be that life itself is a great randomizer and bottom line is anything can happen. Que sera sera…

I do really enjoy Mexico so far though; Ruth feels the same and I could contentedly hang my hat (or sombrero as the case may be) here until the rest of my hairs go gray
