A FIRST FAREWELL

Vaya con dios amigos!

When a few weeks ago it became clear that the Lockdown would also become a fact in Mexico, not only we but also a few other Swiss travelers were looking for shelter. Everyone found the way to Charly, who has a good name among travelers. Not least because he runs an excellent restaurant that serves Swiss specialties as well.

Early April, when we arrived, the group was complete. There were Urs and Wally from Wil and Wallisellen; Markus and Ursula from Konolfingen; Reto and Susanne from Ermatingen; Ernst and Susi from Biel; Mike and Vanessa from Zurich and Hanover. The youngest was Vanessa at the age of thirty, the oldest Reto at 76. It was a well age-mixed group as we soon found out.

The days went by and before we realized it, a month has already passed. Charly’s menu is so extensive that there was variety. The women baked cakes for dessert; Charly and Urs made cream cakes or Prussiens. Or there was mango or papaya with fresh lime juice.

After seven weeks, Urs and Wally said yesterday goodbye. They drove to Veracruz and shipped their motorhome to Bremerhaven. Vaya con dios amigos y buen viaje!

PS: Now every week another couple is leaving. However, we remain until the border to Colombia is open again.
