July 13 Another weekend offTomorrow marks the start of another weekend. It will be a bit toned down. We plan on eating out a lot, there's an all you can eat Indian restaurant near us. Also, we're planning on going to the Birch aquarium. It's fairly close (what isn't) and small so it will be a short trip but no doubt interesting. We're leaving the Wild Animal Kingdom for a cooler day. We've been hit with a real heat wave - up to 28 or 29 C some days. Fortunately it's a dry heat so once we hit a shady spot the temperature drops by about 20 degrees Fahrenheit.
I'm taking tennis lessons now. They're free. I bought myself a Wal-Mart special (actually it's a Wilson racquet so pretty good quality for $20) and do two hours, 6-8 pm, Wednesdays and 1 hour Saturday morning, 11-noon.
I purchased some Spanish lesson CD's online so I'll be practicing that soon. It's not as easy to practice here as everyone speaks English. Not like Mexico where we had to speak Spanish a lot of the time. Or what we called Spanish.
I've also tried my hand at fruit carving. My first effort is in the album called Apple Swan. It's just the one picture.
For Judith Ann, work is sometimes very busy and other times fairly quiet. Even though her patients are quite sick there's nothing she can't handle so the job is "relatively" uneventful.
There's a short blurb called "Stargazer" on the educational channel here. It gives information on celestial events that can be seen without a telescope. It tells where to look for it and what time to get the best view. About a week ago we saw the convergence of Venus and Saturn. On Monday there's a quadruple; Venus, Saturn, the star Regulus, and a quarter moon all together in one part of the sky just after the sun sets. Surprisingly there's little ambient light here, we're pretty high up, so we get a good view of the sky.
That's all the news that is news. Pretty boring stuff to read but great fun doing. TrackbacksThe trackback URL for this entry is: http://ourmexicanadventure.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!C2E85A51351BC4F6!373.trak Weblogs that reference this entry
