So much to say about yesterday!

Yesterday, I was too busy enjoying the day to blog.  It was such a nice day! Filled with little pleasant events.

My plan was to just walk around town. My only real goal was to find a seamstress who could finish sewing a dress I started to make last year at home, with fabric I bought in Mexico last winter.  A real long term, international project. 

Initially, I had no luck.  Carnaval is coming in February.  The seamstress in the market was closed, again.  Likely working her but off making sparkly costumes.  So I just wandered in and out of shops.  My first little happiness was chatting with Galo, a local artist. I really like his stuff.  So many styles.  We talked about art, his story, and some beaches I might like to check out.

Then, I found a really cute sun dress for about $5.  It was too small.  So I bought two, thinking I could cut one up to add some width to the other.  Or maybe a seamtress could do that here....

Then I bumped into Carl at Indio's.  He's the friendly grumpy old guy who helped me on day-one year-one in Cozumel.  I was so happy to catch up with him! 

Later, I met Linda and her man, Martin for dinner.  We ate at a cute little restaurant with a quiet courtyard and a fun cat.  On our way to dinner, we saw a tailor shop.  I happened to have all my dresses with me.   Guess what!  He can do it all!  For about $20.  He seemed very competent and filled me with confidence.  I'm looking forward to picking up my dresses tonight!
