Happy New Year Everyone!
We had our Son Tyler and his girl Jess come to visit over the holidays this year. We looked forward to their arrival for so long. Their trip began in Toronto with a flight cancellation. They were to be here only one week.
Ty & Jess finally arrived in Guadalajara at midnight the following day - so they already lost a day of their visit. Waking up their first morning here we were greeted by thick black clouds and pouring rain. The temperature, which is usually in the mid 70's this time of year hit a record low. Daytime highs of just barely 50 degrees! These pounding rains accompanied by strong cold winds continued day and night for the next 3 days! It was awful. Being Canadian cottagers, we settled in and played alot of cards, sometimes by candlelight and proceeded to catch up on our lives and shared alot of good laughs.. We sure were glad that we had purchased a propane heater and firing that up along with the fireplace keep the dampness at bay. The kids were great sports and we decided to venture out in the weather none the less.
The last 2 days of their visit the sun came out and we were able to show them around the area. Come the day of their departure early that morning the power once again went off and Greg scrambled around here at daybreak hooking up the generator. Another moment of "sure glad we bought that".
We kept saying ......................THE WEATHER HERE IS USUALLY BEAUTIFUL ALL YEAR LONG...............HONESTLY!
We are not entirely sure they believed us.
