Not much new

Not much going on around here right now.  The last two days have started out bright and sunny, not a cloud in the sky.  This morning is the same way - a perfectly blue sky.  Although by the afternoon there are usually some clouds around, the only moisture in the air has been that little mist that comes off the surrounding mountains, where it looks like there ARE rain clouds.  It was very windy yesterday, so we're thinking maybe the rainy season is winding down.  Who knows, though, because we read in the paper yesterday that meteorologists are claiming the rainy season will go into March this year.  We'll see.
We bought two strands of Christmas lights (one which it turns out only half the strand works) and strung them up around the house here.  One on a basket of reeds (which will be our Christmas tree) and one around a quite fake looking garland that is draped around the desk where one of our laptops is.  The lights look so pretty in the evening.  So, those two things combined with a real pointsettia on our dining room table, and about 3 other little Christmas decorative pieces, it's starting to look A LITTLE bit like Christmas around here.
Last evening we walked to a nearby restaurant to give it a try.  Many of the tables are outside in a beautiful setting by a rushing stream and we sat out there even though it was quite cool!  Ehhhh, don't think we'll be going back to that restaurant - Guillermo did NOT like his salmon ravioli and really - Lasagna without any noodles?????  We had a nice short walk back to our house.
