Check These Out















These bougainvillea were growing at the site of some Nahuatl (Na-wat-al) ruins just outside of Tecoman. They grow everywhere here and are just beautiful. I have never seen so many varieties or shades!



Isnt this a little stunner!! This plant grew in the backyard of one of our old houses.

















And No One Said A Word

So we had to go to Guadalajara recently to pick up people from the airport and this funny thing happened on the way.

We caught a bus to the airport and we were hooning it along the highway when suddenly the bus driver hauls it into the petrol station.

Dave and I look at each other with blank expressions on our faces. We then look at everyone else, only to notice that they are just carrying on like nothing weird is happening. Looking out windows, reading etc.

We ask each other, what are we doing, is this a bus stop too?? Well Nooooooooooooooo It really was a petrol station and we needed gas, dahhhhhhhhhhh

The funniest thing was that we sat there for about 15-30 mins while the driver went and got some lunch and had a drink, then chatted to the other people at the station and finally filled the tank. No one on the bus even blinked an eyelid!!!!!!

We just laughed and said it was just as well we left in plenty of time or we would have been soooo late. We couldnt believe that no one commented or even seemed to notice that we sat in a petrol station for 30 mins!!!

We figured, this must just be normal!!!
