busy day ahead -

I want to go to Punta Abreojos and get them involved in the recycling

I need some estimates on how much a landfill will cost - and their ideas on the best design for us here in the desert -some from States/some from Mexico

here are some pics of the guests as they took off this morning for their adventures in the ocean. Really, really nice guys

I also want to get to Santa Rosalia this week and pick up the metal drums to be used for trashcans !!  I am soooooooo excited to get them and put them strategically around town. Gary is going today and staying for a couple days - if he and we and Pancho all go one day, we can bring them back. No extra cost to anyone.

I have also decided to just jump start the recycling at the dump. I will  hire 2 people and have them start separating the colors of bottles and putting them in piles. That is what I saw in BOLA (Bahia de Los Angeles). This way, we are ahead of the game ...  we can also recycle plastics #1 and #2 right here in Mexico. and cardboad.

Thanksgiving is around the corner and we need to start preparing the menu - seems like Patty and Susan are so on top of it and we are ... well......not really ready BUT - the turkey is in the fridge and defrosting. Les and I will have to talk menu today ....  it is usually his wonderful turkey which makes the meal stupendous. It is a welsh recipe - you encircle the turkey in bacon, all over the top and just leave it in the oven. No danger of drying out and no need to baste. Start out with foil on it and unfoil it about 2 hours before it is cooked. I hae never had a more delicious tureky.

I am watching the news and there is a spacewalk being shown live. Breathtaking. I remember our maid in Brazil thought it was all fake ... it is made up, she said !!!!  she had about a 3rd grade education and she definitely did NOT believe anyone had ever walked on any moon. too funny.
