Sunday, 17 March 2018: Casa Colibri

It’s St Patrick’s day and our biggest concern today isn’t green beer or even beer at all.  Instead, our day started with a phone call from son Michael telling of the flooding that is going on in Green Bay.  We talked to Rich and Erica, renter in our Hartung house, to learn that the water did come up to the posts of the deck but the basement was dry.  All the work Justin did several years ago when he took on the remodel have paid off.  Later we learned that although Lloyd and Gloria were evacuated from the home next door, after they got out of the boat, they crossed the street and went back to their house.  Perhaps the rescue squad was more worried about Lloyd’s fragile state rather that the fact that his house was fine.  Still, it is all quite disconcerting from so far away.

These two photos were from The Breen Bay Gazette.  The first is Lloyd and Gloria's house with evacuation efforts in progress.  The second is also Lloyd and Glorias' with our garage.

We enjoyed some cochinita pupil for dinner.  Last time we had this local dish in a restaurant it was a bit too dry, but buying it from a street vendor ... it was delicious!!!

The University of Houston is in the NCAA tournament.  Wow!  Draws me back to the days of Phi Slama Jama, as the Cougar basketball team was known in the early ‘80s.  Are the glory days back?

Privacy is the big deal for Facebook... really?  Finally.  I am one of the two billion people using one of their platforms.  Yes, I’ve come into the current day by joining Facebook but I haven’t created a profile or posted one thing.  I did learn that e

veryone in Mexico uses What’s Ap so I did need that just to be able to communicate.
