Christmas Cards 2013
I have been procrastinating putting together my Christmas Cards this year for no specific reason...just have. I think it's might have to do with the fact that I created my basic layouts a while ago and knew once I got going it wouldn't take me too long.
turquoise and white and red and white for a fresh look, and deeper reds and greens for a more traditional look.
I hope I have created something in this collection that will appeal to everyone.

My Christmas Card production won't stop here...I am currently working on creating new designs of past favourites that include Christmas trees and reindeers. I'll keep you posted.
Cheers and hugs.

Winter is coming
I'm not referring to Game of Thrones but the weather today and this past few weeks in Ajijic. I have been here for three years now at this time of year and don't remember it being so cold. The temps have been close to 10 degrees at night and down to as low as 15 with the wind chill during the day.
Today was sunny but the wind chilled me to the bones. I took a long hot shower, changed the linen on my bed and took my duvet out of the vinyl bag it's been resting in for the past few years. Thank goodness I had the foresight to bring one down from Canada.
All day long when I passed my bedroom I loved looking at my luxurious bed. Finally the chill took its toll and I could no longer resist the desire to crawl under the silky sheets and fluffy duvet. Ahhhh.
It's too early to sleep so I'll practice my blog app then read.
Good night sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bite. XO

Feet First
Double post from Facebook for those who don't have.
21 km today to Boadilla de Camino and staying at a very interesting albergue that is a renovated barn and main house. The barn hosts two bedrooms with over 20 beds in each with one that a funky loft kevel housing about a dozen beds.
We are staying in the main farmhouse renoed and housing sevrral bedrooms(6 to 8 beds) a few bathrooms and downstairs living areas , dining room (huge) and kitchen.
Our accomodations are 10€ for the night and an extra 10 € for a three course pilgrims meal. Not bad...this might be something to consider as an alternative lifestyle if things get too expensive in the Americas.
Feet are talking to me every day and at some point I will have to find some way of quieting them up. I cannot find epsom salts so will see a pharmacist in the next town.
20 k tomorrow and 26 k the next and will keep you posted.
Hugs and love.

Sneak Peak
The sun peaked through the clouds and I decided to wander around the city to get my bearings. As I walked down one of the streets, which are all generally narrow I got a glimse of the incredible towers of the cathedral. At first I was shocked by the dramatic beauty of it, then as I got closer I was totally overwhelmed. I almost lost my breath, and stopped to sit down I was truly in awe.
I will officially visit the cathedral tomorrow with Michelle but couldn't wait to share.
Hugs.
Burgos Hotel Norte y Londres
Found my hotel and to my surprise it was right on the corner where we had dinner last night. The hotel is on a lovely square, or should I say rectangular, with cafes, municipal buildings, shops and residences flanking the periphery. I noticed several bronze statues scattered throughout with cafe chairs and tables stacked up for latter use, when the city awakens.
There is minimal traffic on the old city streets and they use a cool system that allows only residents access and delivery vehicles are only allowed during specific hours. This works for them making this part of the city comfortable for pedestrians and helping to maintain a particular charm.
I am happy and health and excited that my friend Michelle will be here in a few hours.
