Response to Leslie: As a sister cat lover, whose home is filled with cat-themed items from Cruz, I wish you all the best, having already explained that my landlady forbids any more pets. Have you posted on La Manzanilla Life as well as Tomzap and all the FB groups for the Costalegre, Barra, and Melaque?

Response to Bonnie G, whom I met at Sweat Your Prayers in San Miguel: Thanks for offering to continue the dance. The best times for me, given my work schedule, are any day from 10:45 a.m. through 3:00 p.m. I could make the arrangements through Activo's but not at Casa Luz.

Bless both of your generous hearts!
