South of the Border Again
After one of the best Seattle summers in memory, we are excited to be back in Mexico after a 4 month absence. A song by San Carlos singer/songwriter, Mark Mulligan, just about sums up our sentiment…
“I’m south of the border again,
And it feels so good my friends,
Tacos, burritos, muchachos, amigos,
And sails out on the wind
I’m south of the border again.”
We arrived back in San Carlos on October 12, after a 5 day drive from Seattle, and were excited to be back in Mexico. We stayed in a “casita” (“little house”) for 10 days while we made Adesso liveable again. We moved Adesso from the storage yard to the work yard and did a survey of the damage done by the hot sun over the summer. We found a surprising amount of damage. Our decks are covered with teak (wood) planks, which makes a great non-skid surface. Over the summer, the caulking between the teak planks has come loose in several areas and we are vulnerable to leaks. We will soon have to do some serious work on the teak decks.
The photo shows the view from our table at the Palapa Griega (Griega means Greek in Spanish), where Mark Mulligan sings weekly. We had a marvelous Octopus dish.
It’s a Wonderful Life – On Adesso!
