 I was just looking at my last post and the picture of Katy and Spence, thinking about how beautiful they are.  I realized I forgot to mention that Katy took a bunch of their friends from Middlebury on a mountain bike ride the morning of the wedding.  If you look closely at the picture, you can see on Katy'sright arm, just below her elbow, she has a large bandage.......7 stitches !!!!!

 


 

We've been having our Friday PB sessions and last Friday 4 new players showed up.  I happened to know them all from one of my conversation groups so it was great to see them.  They came with Andres, who had come once before ( I described him as looking like a Calvin Klein model...he's tall and thin)  and they had been in the weight room lifting weights.  Andres had never played as he said he just wanted to come to practice English with me.  Anyh ow, he came and brought 4 of his friends and we all played for a while.  As it was winding up, we were standing in a little group and one of the guys said something like...can you recommend how to improve ?   I assumed they were talking about pickleball so I said they should watch You Tube and study what the players were doing....they laughed....and said they were talking about improving their English, not pickleball.  That tells you where my mind was.😊

School is on vacation this week so I'm looking for things to do.  I did get us permission to come onto the campus to play pickleball so I think I'll be doing that some.  I don't feel very safe going out by myself so I'll probably just play pickleball and walk around the Queretaro historic center which is nearby.  There is plenty to see around there.  A couple of cartel leaders ended up in US custody recently so some  of my coworkers are expecting some  violence related to that.  Mexico is saying they did not have anything to do with it so I guess that means the US arranged it.  Who knows ??!!  

I am renewing my lease in my apartment for 6 months but I doubt that I'll stay here that much longer.  Its very hard to find a place that will take Gringo and also that PC will approve so I decided to just stay put.  If I leave earlier, they can just have the extra money....not worth the hassle and I really can't find anywhere else to live.
