Readin' & Writin'

Today we enjoyed a pleasant time by the pool with our tablets, both reading and writing (emails, text messages, etc.). We keep strictly in the shade, but of course reflected rays also reach a person. In the heat of the afternoon we cooled off in the pool of course. And an order of lemonade made with mineral water goes down marvelously well.

Cool tan, huh?

In late afternoon we met our neighbor, for the first time, while we sat on the balcony. The woman was about to clean her side of the translucent glass panel that separates her balcony from ours, and she thought she'd bend around it to introduce herself first. She and her husband are owners of the condo next door. The wiping of her side of the glass made a surprising improvement, if you want to call increased transparency an improvement, but I did feel a little concerned when she stood on an apparently unsteady ladder to reach the upper regions. Although there is a cushion of grass lawn below, we are on the eleventh floor after all, and the lawn was recently mowed.

Removing a stubborn spot.

A slow day in Ixtapa.
