After about 21 hours of travel via plane, bus & taxi I am this morning sitting on my roof top patio typing this.
After a short visit last March I am here for the month. My lovely wife will be joining me for the last week.
Thank you Bill for your gracious welcome & allowing to rent this magnificent home,
Life is SO Good!

Since we've wandered onto the subject of peliculas mexicanas here... I was talking to a Mexican this morning who is interested in this sort of thing, and he highly recommended a film he referred to as "Luz Silenciosa".

Well, even though it's a Mexican film, the original title is "Stellet licht" (Silent Light), because the film is mostly in the Low German language. Here's the IMDB page:

Anybody here heard of this film? Or seen the DVD for sale?

The IMDB page shows a link to Amazon where it may be ordered.

They've got it at Video San Francisco on Sangre de Cristo (up the street from Cafe Tal). However, it has only Spanish subtitles. I'm holding out for English subtitles.
