That was a mistake. September was our hottest month of the summer in 2010.<br /><br />Tonight I went to dinner with friends in Barra. It reminded me why this time of year can be special.

I've heard it's wonderful both climate-wise, and with regard to the expat community there. <br /><br />Don Árciga's work sounds interesting.

I have been coming down from the Bay Area since 1997 & I have noticed that the weather in Melaque begins to cool down about that time. I return home to CA at the end of April,because I find the hotter summer weather coming on.Thomas OBriennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-10568395020357516152012-10-02T09:56:04.932-05:002012-10-02T09:56:04.932-05:00Had I stayed another week, I could have heard what...Had I stayed another week, I could have heard what he has to say.Steve Cottonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-36632857231584290662012-10-02T09:55:19.545-05:002012-10-02T09:55:19.545-05:00We should plan on getting together in Tzintzuntzan...We should plan on getting together in Tzintzuntzan on a summer in the future.Steve Cottonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-87541738434543314452012-10-02T09:54:05.188-05:002012-10-02T09:54:05.188-05:00Funny you should mention that.

It's a lot more complex a subject that once was thought, that's for sure.<br /><br />I enjoyed seeing the photo of Tzintzuntzan.

Time to head to Puerto for those mid 80's highs and 70ish lows; wonderful restaurants and lots of entertainment (more Jazz, Blues and Rock - less classical - but all the same entertainment. I doubt if any one place would suit you - pick two and work out the best times to be where. Bottom line.John Calypsohttp://vivaveracruz.com/blognoreply@blogger.com
