Tuesday 7th February 2012……another one for the memory banks!!!

Well what is happening with this weather?  Gloomy and overcast again!!!   Must not complain….

So quite a busy day started out with meeting a fellow Canadian tennis player at a local café so he could talk to me about the Mexican and Canadian laws regarding immigration and medical coverage….thanks Mike I enjoyed and learned a lot!!!

Carolyn and I had scheduled a singles tennis game but this time at our regular courts so she could not bribe the ball ball to call my shots out but due to the rain the courts were unfit so we had tea together and a good long chat.

I then went to Casa Hogar to see my girls they were all busy having lunch check out the lovely photos…the little kids are just so wonderful when ever I walk in they all get up and come for a hug and a kiss..makes me feel like a million dollars!!

This is one of my special photos of Paola!!!

I talked to Robin again about Paola and it seems the main issue is that her Mother is telling her that she is going to bring her home to be with her brothers and family and apparently Paola desperately wants to go and live at home….I have my own views on this which I will keep to myself but it seems it is now day to day what happens to her because her Mother can at any time take her home…..no wonder she is so torn….so all I can do till I go is see her as often as I can and re assure her of my love and caring and continued help for her!!!

Next on my agenda was the massage that Linda had won the gift certificate for me back in January…..it was a 50 minute massage at a value of 1200 pesos about 100 dollars at the Rosewood Hotel the 5 star luxury hotel!!

When I made the appointment they told me I could come 45 minutes early and use the steam/sauna room and asked if I wanted a male or female masseur….no prize for guessing whom I chose!!!

Well what can I say it was the height of luxury..first I was escorted to this fancy locker room where I was given a locker, bathrobe and slippers….then escorted to the private shower that had not one not two but 8 shower heads….so I soaked in there for about 10 minutes and then went into the steam for for a few minutes, I have to be careful with this and my at time wonky heart beat…from there into the sauna for a few minutes then back into the shower.

Next I was escorted to the waiting room it was like a living room so tastefully decorated with an assortment of teas and waters and finger good…then my masseuse, a lovely lady called Launders came and placed a hot neck pillow around me…..then walked me to my private room and the electronic massage table where I got comfy face down and the first treatment was for me to inhale some lovey eucalyptus fragrance and then 50 minutes of the best massage I have ever had!!!!

The music and lights were soft and it was just a great time I really enjoyed the fun of it all and to be pampered like that was something I might like to get used to!!!!

Afterwards my skin felt silky smooth and Linda thank you so much for buying the raffle ticket and winning and giving it to me!!!!

After supper I went over to see Sara and I got a manicure and whupped her at Backgammon!!

So a day to remember!!!!
