I know, I know, I have been a real sporadic blogger lately!  I have plenty of excuses, which I’m sure you aren’t interested in hearing about.

We had company, though – our son and daughter in law and our granddaughter came over from México City for five days.  Our son travels a lot on business and our daughter in law is busy with her Foundation so it had been hard to find a time we could get together.  Consuelo is 14 months old now and is walking and can even say a few words.  She and our dog Henry became fast friends.

She loved swimming in her inflatable pool.

She loved eating oatmeal that Nana made. (that’s me)

She enjoyed lunch at Playa Bruja.

She loved strolling over to Puerto Viejo.

It was a great visit.  Too short, as always. For family or other Consuelo fans, a video is here.

In other news, there is a lot going on in town.

• Tomorrow is an art opening at Recrea featuring the work of Kym Hoffschildt, Cecilia García, Glen Rogers, Cecilia Sànchez Duarte and Ricardo Arzola.
• This weekend is the Triatholon – as we took a long walk down the malecón today they were setting up the registration area and putting up barricades.
• The book fair is still going in the Plazuela Machado – Paul and I bought a great old book of the origin of swear words in español!
• Amigos de los Animales dog walk and costume contest is this Sunday.
