Our Hill

Looking down the hillLooking up the hill

We have mentioned our hill before. The hill that leads you to our house. It is not until we have visitors who see it, that they understand how steep it is. I have an example. Last Saturday, we went for dinner in the city centre to a beautiful restaurant called "Los Denzantes". This was to be a special dinner with our friend Erin who would be leaving for Canada the next day.

We did not drive to the restaurant but walked so that we could drink without limitations. We had a very good meal with red wine, margaritas and martinis. After eating we took a taxi home.

The car ride was uneventful until we arrived at the bottom of our hill. The taxi was not able to make it up the hill. The taxi driver tried but the car did not have enough power to make the hill. It didn't make it past the first block. Even so, the taxi driver charged us 50 pesos and we had to walk up the steep hill on foot.

Each time our car makes it up the hill I am thankful that I have a good car.

Wow that is quite the hill. Now i understand what Angie was talking about when she said she needed to take three break's to get up that hill. Sound's like you had a great time with Earin. Now you and Ralph can rest up for your next adventure. one more month to go before you come back to Canada. It sure went by fast, with the bloging you have done. Sure glad you have this blog, to keep us up to date. The taxi not be to make it up the hill was a good laugh. Love and miss you both. Mom.xxxxxxoooooooooo
