January 5, 2012. As always I am not a good blogger. But at least once a year I try to say hello to the new year. I am here in Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico. It has been a lovely month here in Mexico. Joaquin and I went to Oaxaca for a week. Really lovely. Also lovely here in Cuernavaca. Warm sunny days, lovely not really cool nights. Mexico is beautiful. Yet, troubled. Lot's of violence. For us it is okay. No problems with violence nor security. Joaquin's family lives all around us and watch out for our house.
We had a lovely dinner on the 24th of December, 2011 with Joaquin's family. About 40 people sat at the same table in the patio of his mothers house. Everyone brought something. We bought delicious mole coloradito in Oaxaca and Carmen (our housekeeper/cook) made mole with poached turkey. Delicious.
New Years Eve was quiet; here at home with a few friends. Joaquin made lovely quesadillas fritas.
Today I am off to Miami. The lens that was implanted in my eye after cataract surgery has fallen off and is floating somewhere in the back of my eye. I am going to Bascom Palmer Eye Institute and my wonderful eye doctor, Harry Flynn Jr will operate to remove the lens. I dred the procedure as I have had over 14 operations on my left eye; I'm tired of it. but it needs to be done.
I have just re-read, for the second time, Julia Child's memoirs " My Life In France". wonderful memories of France in a different time (50's-90's). One of the things about the book that is interesting to me are some of the things that Julia left out. In my opinion, not by accident.
Back to Barcelona on the 15th of January. Looking forward to the visit of Jeannette in February and we will go to Venice for Carnivale.
I hope all of you have a wonderful 2012. much love, Billy
