November 2019 - Back to La Paz

Back to the blog again. We've been in La Paz for 2 weeks now. All in all our arrival was pretty smooth, but inevitably there were things that needed sorting out. We finally got the car charged up and going, then the gate seized up and we were stuck at home with very few groceries - cheese toasties 3 times in a row!
The weather is lovely of course... but regular readers will be glad to hear we have had some rain, and more expected tomorrow.
Paul played at the La Paz Blues Festival again yesterday, but the La Ventana version on Sunday has been postponed due to the approach of tropical storm Raymond (very late in the season)
If you are interested with did a Spanish blog over the summer months in Canada.


We were shocked by our Mexican neighbour's new pool lights! Luckily they only have them on once in a while.

The 'Gate Guy' to the rescue

Termites have destroyed part of our kitchen cabinets!

Always our first place to visit - McFisher's for lunch

There has been so much rain over the summer, it's really 'lush'

Beautiful moth

In the neighbourhood - the Brutal Gym is next to Alcoholics Anonymous

It's nice to wake up to this.

And the moon rise 11 hours later

Carlos 'the palm guy' has been busy tidying up the garden

Cool new whale shark statue on the Malecon

What can we say... at least they have a marketing plan 

Roadside shopping has peaked pre Christmas

Karen & Celia have started doing house-concerts on a street near us

We watched this storm cloud move away north of us. Lots of lightning, no thunder.

This lot arrive on Sunday evening, if tropical storm Raymond allows. Fingers crossed!
