Who Knew? Revelations in Mexico

Who knew?

That canned tuna costs half what canned cat food costs? Rocky's living high.

That a pretty seashell accidentally lost under the car seat for a week could smell SO bad because it turned out to have been inhabited?

That Mexican plumbing doesn't tolerate Mexican toilet paper and it goes in a wastebasket next to the toilet and requires twice daily removal and is THE single most disgusting thing I've had to get used to?

That Ritz crackers in Mexico taste a lot different than Ritz crackers in Minnesota? How is that possible?

That there could be SO many stars in the night sky where there aren't ANY city lights?

That a cat could miss a dog that dies? He was depressed for weeks.

That you could miss the sound of childrens' voices SO much when you live in an enclave of seniors?

That a deserted beach more than compensates for Netflix and movie theaters?

That two days after a drenching rain the desert explodes in color?

That food produced without chemicals could taste SO much better? Except their bread, it's too sweet.

That birdsong, coyote calls, wind through the palm-thatched roof, and the sound of the crashing surf could elicit tears of joy and gratitude in a 57 year old jaded woman standing on a roof  at 4 AM in January?

Rocky redirects intruders.
