Well, the anticipated big rains - as a result of the Tropical Depression/Tropical Storm/Tropical Depression Arlene have fizzled out. Once predicted to reach San Miguel by early afternoon on Thursday, the storm collapsed before even reaching Queretero.
Friday's rain amounted to 0.19 inches; Thursday's only 0.09 inches; and there's been no rain yet this morning. We enjoyed the bit Friday night as we taxied to friends' home in Centro for dinner - and returned home shortly before midnight.
Our dogs were curious when we came home smelling of Gia, their cat, and Baruch, their King Charles Spanish mix dog. Coca was the only one who sat next to us and sniffed our jeans, but they all slept on the bed for most of last night, to remind us who they are and how much they love us :).
Guess we're back to more 'perfect' weather. A bit overcast this morning but it's dry. I shouldn't grumble as we have tickets to a food and wine festival this afternoon. The hotel has promised that if it rained, the event would be moved inside, but they have a lovely green space and I think outside would be the preferred location. It's a benefit for Feed the Hungry, so we ponied up the money for the tickets and will be enjoying the event with our friends from last night's dinner. They are younger than we and recover more quickly from late nights than I - especially - can.
Michael has gone into town to give our old landlord a check to cover the two utility bills for our last month at that property. 'A check' - not a really common occurrence here in Mexico. In fact, we just got our first book of checks on the account we've had since early last year. Our old landlord would take a check in US funds; our new landlord told us that she would take a check in pesos, so we ordered a book of them from the bank. This will be the first time we pay our rent by check; I hope she remembers what she told us (through an interpreter). Otherwise we'll be running to Mega to use the ATM!
