Chateau Dumpeau

I think it's now time to update this blog! I'm still in Mexico (see my Mazatlan blog), but I am no longer in the casa that had originally excited me in my earlier posts. The bed looks quaint and romantic doesn't it? Well, it wasn't: long story--the net protected me from mosquitos and bats. Yes, bats that fluttered freely above me at night, visiting from a nearby bat cave. I lasted two weeks before I moved out. Happy where I am now. I shall continue with this blog after I return to St. Paul in April, 2007!!

    Kate-what a wonderfully witty update in spite of your woes!
    Your choice of title is most-amusing!

    Still looks a nice place to spend winter.

    Glad to say we are having lovely Spring weather, but the weather woman said it was going to change this weekend!

    Glad to hear that soon we will see more pictures of St Paul. I cannot wait to see the post of this amazing yellow,orange diner you talked about in my blog.
    These night black visitors seemed to like you :-)

    Hi Kate! Glad I checked back here. I used to always want a cool bed like this (but not the creatures that you encountered!). I am enjoying your Mazalan DP also. Look forward to seeing more of St. Paul soon!

    Hello Kate!

    Hope to see you soon around the Blog-o-sphere!

    I like that detail as a curtain for your bed.

    By the way, I wish you a happy Easter time.

    Cheers, Swerch.

    Clever title and update. I'm not sure how you lasted 2 weeks there.
    Looking forward to your return to St. Paul.

    Bats are or I should say, probably were, after the mosquitoes who had fed on you. I don't know but that seems like a little too much familiarity in a room.

    Thanks for visiting my blog and commenting on the Life and Death issues.
