Friday/Sat. Been waking up to lots of bugle and drum sounds lately. I think the kids are preparing for some celebration.
Went walking today ...saw Carol O'Connors home it has been empty I guess since his death. In the plaza we saw a new friend Vicky and her two babies. She is a beautiful and very sweet Alamos girl that we met the other night. Stopped in to Pro Natura...an NGO working to preserve nature and culture in the area. Elena and her husband Carlos ...very nice people invited us to an outing to a reserve area. They hope to expand into learning trips for kids and visitors in the future. She wants to come visit us in Victoria!! I really like her she's a dynamo! Also met some new friends from near Kamloops.
Sunday. Lots of bells this morning, nice to wake up and have coffee in the garden with the butterflies and hummingbirds, in one's jammies!
I think they need a Botanical Garden here. also some arts/cooking/music classes that would be accessable to the average person. (not just rich folks) and could help the locals share their skills and develop them into businesses. The risk is losing the uniqueness of this place...like San Miguel has. It is a matter of balance. I feel very lucky to have come here to experience this place while it's still small and quaint. It has been a privilege.
