Tijuana "round-abouts" figured out

Howdy,

Still the same routine, with me as the only patient.  The change is that I am having much more energy, and am walking back from the clinic each day.

So today, I thought I would tell you about the "round-abouts" in Tijuana.  When Seth and I first came to Tijuana, we clutched our hands together, white-knuckled, at the driving.  Cars didn't seem to stop for stop signs, they didn't want to stay in any recognized lanes, it felt like we were playing grown up bumper cars.  There are several such round-abouts on Avenue of the Heros, where the clinic and the hotel are located.

Then John explained the rules of the round-about to me,  and after observing cars closely for this week, I think he is correct.  Seems like the guy in the center of the round-about has the right of way.  So if you want to take an exit, you try to get to the center and then barrel through to the exit.  Not like at home,  where if you want to take an exit, you politely go to the right hand lane and signal.  Nope, if you are in the right hand lane, you are watching the cars on your left because they have the power.  And when there is a break in traffic, then you either take your exit or try to get to the center of the round-about.

Another thing about Tijuana is in the grocery stores.  I started noticing that people were tipping the baggers.  So I asked my driver at the hotel about it.  The baggers are usually unemployed folks who are not paid by the grocery.  They survive on the tips.  So now if I have a bagger, I tip.  Remember,  a peso is about 1/12 of a dollar, less than a dime.  So you can imagine what a centavo is worth.

I have completed 2 weeks of treatment, and will be winging my way home next Friday, Oct. 30th.  To George, and to my new kitchen!!  George and his brother Pat, with help from George's son Eric, have been working on drawers.  The granite guy came and put down the countertop granite, and I hear that it is beautiful!  They will come again on Monday and put in the backsplashes and window sill.  This is very exciting!

Once home, I will be taking lots of supplements and doing some other treatments.  Then I will probably have another CT Scan to see how I am doing.  And go from there.  I can always come back to Tijuana for continued treatments, if necessary.  But I'm looking for cure, and that will take some time.

Thanks for all your good wishes!   Love,  Carol
