- >Does anyone remember the Big Blizzard of 1978?
-
- My friend Jaqueline Damboise had her booklaunching party at Robarts Library.
- (My car was encased in a thick mantle of ice after the party.)
- At the party I met a carpenter (Steve? Dave?) who was leaving for Zihuatenero,
- Mexico the following day, for the remainder of the winter. I asked him for
- his address just in case I might drop in on him. I had never been to Mexico
- but the blizzard made it sound awfully good. Two weeks later I knocked
- on his door ...
-
- I ended up staying at little cottage in the same garden where he was living.
- I really enjoyed getting up in the morning and picking a ripe papaya and a
- lime off their trees for breakfast. And then there were the five beaches.
- And Olivia!
