Tomorrow is our last day of our retreat at the wonderful Quinta San Carlos across the lake.  Our brains are nearly emptied of words and our stomachs are certainly full of the delicious food they serve us from the time we wake up until we drag up the hill to our rooms.  Breakfast, lunch and dinner are supplemented with a round the clock buffet of cookies, chips, sliced veggies, sodas, coffee and tea of every variety.  I am now hiding out from dinner as if I put one more bite of food into my mouth I won’t make the bonfire tonight (Where by the way they roast corn over the open fire and serve it with the usual Mexican condiments of butter, mayonnaise, lime and chili powder.  We are going to ask them to skip this tradition this year.

As soon as I’m sure they are finished with dinner I’ll go down for the bonfire and to lead the storytelling. Our leader (another) Judy has had bad laryngitis for the past few days so we are assuming her task and even reading aloud for her what she has written. It’s been a great time.  Hopefully, same time next year.. I believe this is our seventh year with a few years skipped during covid.

      It really is so fun..I love this group of women, 2 of whom live in the states and just come down for this retreat. Two others spend part of the year each place. Harriet and I live full time in Mexico.
