Translations for those of us outside the loop, via Google:

Chicken on the beach, with champagne? Uh oh.
Merry Christmas to all and also a prosperous new year, if possible.
RVGRINGO same for you ... and I hope this day finds you surrounded by happiness with your family and friends
So was and handle the Smart morning on the beach in Manzanillo, Colima, where desfrutaramos a tranquil weeks with friends. Let's welcome the New Year with fireworks, champagne and KFC on the beach. Greetings friend.
Happy New Year to all! To envy in Manzanillo with an excellent climate and rich KFC!

Google, like most machine translations, do leave a bit to be desired and often make some very strange translations, as above.
Well, we did enjoy Manzanillo and also spent another week in Mazatlan, Sinaloa. So, for the moment, we are beached out. Now, we're looking forward to 'Carnaval' right here in Chapala, with the celebrations starting on Tuesday, February 17th and continuing through the following weekend. Then, the first weekend in March, we will participate with other Smart owners in the annual Chili Cook-off Parade. It is a huge charitable event with lots of entertainment, good food, regional arts and crafts and, of course, chili cooking, tasting and judging. Grupo Modelo is one of the major sponsors, so there will be just a bit of Corona flowing as well.

Here we are, a few years later, and my activities have been curtailed by detached retinas and significant blindness. I can no longer drive or read. Getting around is difficult enough with COPD and my wife is burdened with taking care of everything, including me.
As such, we've reluctantly put our home on the market. If you want to take a look, go to Glenn Home $292,000 USD

I wish the best for you and your wife and a Merry Christmas.RV .... I'm sure ALL of us are sorry to hear about your having to deal with these issues.
Our prayers are with you and your wife and we all hope you sell quickly so you may get on with what needs doing.
It IS a beautiful home in a beautiful town

We hope that we won't have to move back to the USA. I've spent too much of my life elsewhere, that it seems a very strange, foreign and even dangerous place to me. I've lived in Chapala longer than any other single place in my entire life of over 75 years! We love Mexico, but the new immigration rules may be putting us in a 'catch-22' situation. Our income is low and won't qualify us to stay, and our savings are only enough for one. Ironically, if we sell and deposit the proceeds, we would qualify and could then be permanent residents, which we should have done years ago, either owning or renting. In any event, downsizing at our age would have its merits, especially for my wife. She does sometimes complain of all she has to do, but then, considers most other options 'too small'. We also have three dogs & she won't move without them. If the house sells, I kind of hope the new owners might like the dogs, so they could stay at home.
