Activities

Wednesday morning I was standing at the bus stop, on my way to the outdoor market when my friends Ilona and Casey came along. They stopped and asked if I would like to go to Chapala to the Art Exposition with them. Of course, I am always up for a little adventure. What would life be like if we weren’t flexible?
