On our last day in Mexico, we did a bit of sightseeing and shopping to get a feel for the place. Certainly a very different place than La Paz. In the photo above we see the Parroquia San José sitting on the edge of the plaza in the center of town.
Both inside and out, the church is clean and the lines are simple.
The one interesting feature is the statue of the Virgin at one of the transept that shows a small child lifting here robes and horns emerging from either side. No doubt some reference to the downtrodden emerging and the devil suppressed thanks to her.
The streets are filled with an ample supply of clothes and souvenirs.
We also found a store filled with an ample supply of tequila. Naturally, we had to make a purchase.
My apologies for the long delay in getting is last bit posted. Returning home to Seattle (there's a phrase that still feels odd on the tongue) opened many cans of worms from which we are only now recovering.
In August, I initiated Medicare and this seems to have created all sorts of confusion with Anthem in Virginia since it forced Elizabeth and I onto separate policies. I won't go into the gory details, but it has taken multiple phone calls, several visits to the pharmacy (involving long phone calls), long waits at the doctor's office (involving long phone calls), and a double-secret email sent from Anthem to get a proper insurance card for E that still took several phone calls to get working correctly. Lordy!
I have ordered a couple new lenses for my X-H1 and I'll be trying them out around town and on our next trip to Virginia at the end of the month. I'm excited. Details when they arrive next week.
Our next big project is to move the items in our local storage unit to a larger one in preparation for emptying the storage unit in Virginia in early October.
Somehow it feels we're more busy now in retirement than it did (some days, at least) while still working.
