Mexicans ...

I had the ending but no beginning for today's post, so it's a bit of a meander.

As a family we've been to Florida on a couple of occasions, and of the Disney parks I still enjoy MGM and Epcot the best. MGM because I love film and television so that will always have a special attraction, but I think Epcot appeals because it doesn't have quite the manic hordes of visitors that the Magic Kingdom has in high season ( both times were late June/July ) and I find it a lot more restful. Particularly walking round the lake and visiting each of the different nations.

On our last visit we actually booked a meal at the Rose and Crown, at the United Kingdom pavillion, which turned out to be the most expensive of our whole holiday! At least they served Woodpecker cider which was a very welcome sight on a very hot day. It is a long way round that lake with not many opportunities to sit down, so it's quite nice to watch a show or hop on a ride.

Norway has the Maelstrom, which is a turbulent boat ride through their Viking past, and Mexico has El Rio Del Tiempo, "The River of Time", which is a far more gentle affair, floating gently around the pavillion, where it's lit for perpetual night.

Thus, by this rather circuitous route, we have drifted to today's bulb changers ...

Q: How many Mexicans does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: Just Juan.
