This post is a celebration of friends and family. There were times in the past year when we felt very isolated but since moving to the "playa" we have been meeting people more easily and enjoying their company. We also talk with our close family and friends via Skype, which keeps us connected to them.
I joined the Mah Jong Club in Coronado early on and it was very nice to have such a nice bunch of women to meet with once or twice a week. I'm still not a great player but keep working at it and enjoy the challenge and the company. Bob and I also go regularly to the Playa Community social events that are held once a month to meet and mix with other expats in the beaches area.
At the condo we have met some very nice people including our landlord, Mitch, and the three teachers at the The Five Star School who live in the next building and we play cards,usually Canasta,with them at least once a week. Our nextdoor neighbours are from Mexico and Germany and their little boy Juan Miguel is adorable.The mom,Diana, and Juan Miguel went with Mitch, Bob and I to an Octoberfest meal at a nearby resturant Friday night. Saturday we went to friends from Calgary for a great Canadian Thanskgiving meal in Coronado.
We miss our family a lot, especially at traditional family times like Thanksgiving,so it is comforting to have met nice people with whom to spend time.
We are grateful for those loving family members in Canada and for our new friends as well.
Enjoying our Thanksgiving meal
