On my way home from work today, Bryan informed me that an old friends of his was stopping by for a visit. This particular friend had moved down to Mexico for a business opportunity with his brother-in-law to develop a resort down in some major tourist area. He basically just backed up his whole life here in Canada to move to Mexico on a whim that this idea might take off. We have not spoken to him in over 6 months as he did not leave us a forwarding address or phone number. He happened to be in town visiting family, and also going to a friends wedding. He gave Bryan a call tonight and now, they are both having some beers and playing video games.

It was fun talking with this friend about his adventures in Mexico. The corrupt police and government, and how it is such an easy and relaxed culture down there. There is no hustle and bustle of the daily life you would find in a city. You just take your time, and if you need to attend to some personal stuff then you go and do it.

I really should get back to the boys and spend some more time with our friend. He is only in town for another few days before he is gone again. Hopefully this time we will manage to get an email address, or something. Though this guy has basically lived in the 80’s since I have met him. He did not own a computer and was the only person I knew who did not have an email address. The only reason that makes me think he might have the internet now is that he mentioned how he just recently “found” youtube.
