GREAT BIRTHDAY


Yesterday was my birthday, and my friends made it a great day. I think almost all my Vermont friends and family called individually or in groups to sing happy birthday. It felt very nice to be remembered by them.

Marty and Bill took me out for a very nice birthday dinner at one of the two oldest restaurants in Queretaro, The 1810. I ordered a T bone steak because I hadn't had a piece of meat since leaving the states. It was cooked perfectly and tasted great -- came with french fries, too. Before going out to dinner, we had birthday cake Marty had bought the day before ( a tres leches cake) and Jack Daniels -- because on your birthday you can do what you please.

Last night was the first night since Marty and Bill got here that we didn't have heavy rain, thunder and lightening in the evening. So it was very nice walking in the cool fresh air. On the way to the restaurant, we walked through Jardin Zennea which was full of families and children and people listening to the Sunday night concert. On the way home, we stopped in Plaza de la Constitucion to listen to the music and watch the fountain.

  5. Hey Nancy,

    Sounds like a good birthday. Halloween was cool and clear. The weather is turning brisk and the days short. Enjoy Mexico.
