We worked Sat, Sun and Monday this week and on Tuesday we were part of a photo shoot for a new clothing store!! We arrived downtown at 7 am (on a day off!!!!!) and met Sharon (who owns the store), photographer and his assistant, (names to follow when we get our pics) and spent until mid afternoon wearing a number of different outfits, shoes and jewellry in various settings all over town. It was so much fun, and we will have a raft of photos to share with you soon.
Part of the deal for doing this was that we got to choose and KEEP whichever outfit we liked, and Sharon took us for lunch. In addition, we get all these professionally taken photos of ourselves, some of which you will have to agree are pretty good.
Sharon and hubby Les have been running a printing business in Cancun for the last 10 years, and while he is going to keep it going, she has imported these great dresses, pants and jackets from Indonesia, which are even in large and extra large sizes - very hard to find down here. Great shoes, sandals, and accessories complete the store, which will open in a couple of weeks, and is just down the street from the bookstore on the main square, so great location.
What would a blog be without an animal.....I have taken another pic of Botas (our sick black dog). The other night Diane picked me and Botas up at our place and we went to Jorge, the local vet, who says he has all the suspected things (mange, parasites, worms, etc) but is quite young and has a strong heart. So he did the first of Botas 7 injections, one a day for a week, gave me mange bath stuff to do once every 2 weeks and will have the worming pills tomorrow.
Diane gets donations at her bakery for street animals, so that is how we paid for the vet and the treatments. We are feeding him every day and now give him a mulitvitamin with his food. He is very sweet, gentle, and was so good at the vets. Will try to keep you posted on his progress, but the vet feels he will recover for sure, so that is good news.
