Bye, Doug! Hi, Ann & Tim!

Friday the 21st was Doug's last day. Once again we wanted to take it easy, especially since our plans to do that on Thursday failed so miserably. For brunch we went to Ritchie88, on Colón down from Zaragoza, and we had the best omelet I've been served outside of France. It was rich, light and delicious. And we did rest that afternoon.

But that night we went to the Red Piano and caught The Judy Show, a wonderful and riotous drag performance by Michael Holmes. As Judy, she decided that Doug was her drug buddy, Bea Arthur, and the whole thing was a laugh riot and well worth the cover. Here's Michael as Judy Garland, Pearl Bailey, and Bette Davis.

IIIItt's JUDY!!

Doug departed on Saturday,  to be followed by friends Ann Ireland and Tim Deverell. They'd been in a tiny town about an hour from Puerto Vallarta, and Ajijic seemed like a bustling metropolis to them.

It's nice having them here. Today (Wednesday) we did the tiangis, and got some ab fab fish tacos.

Before we met I followed the final parade of Carnaval, from seis esquinos [six corners] all the way to the corrida. I've already written about the riotous cross-dressing, flour tossing antics of these parades, so I won't go there again. But, I'll post a bunch of photos and clips, then link them from here.
