Christmas in Mexico

WHERE ARE WE? Numero Uno RV Park, La Penita, Mexico

Merry Christmas to you!!

Christmas was a beautiful warm sunny day here in Mexico.  The first thing on the agenda was to talk to the grandkids.  We had a nice chat with everyone 

Grace and Max

Silas, Lincoln, Emma and Abby

Donovan and his Christmas shirt

Dani and her friend Serena

After we got all that done, a young lad showed up looking to trim some palm trees for us to make some cash.  300 peso's for 2 trees was a heck of a deal so away he went.

After he was done with the cutting he came down and Ron and Lilly had bacon and eggs waiting for him.  He was sure pleased with that.  What a nice thing to do, especially on Christmas Day.

Out front on the beach filled up with people today.  Lots of swimming and music.  We very seldom see this many people on the beach in front of our place.

Kenia came for a visit in the afternoon with the whole family.  We had a nice little visit.

Kenia, Sue, Abuela Tina, Katherine, Sida, Louis, Oscar.

We had a great potluck supper tonight.  We had salads, potatoes, potato salad, chili's, buns and chicken and a nice dessert.

No time to eat when we have new toys

Food was in the screen tent

All in all it was a great day.  We enjoyed time with friends and have our bellies full.  Good Nite!!!

A Christmas Production at Home

Well Christmas has snuck up on us and tomorrow is the day!!  Sheri is in a Christmas production in her church back home and the whole thing is being live streamed so we got to watch it.  It was very good and I think she enjoyed doing it.  Good job Sheri.

A Christmas story

Christmas is about family and friends and feeling the camaraderie of people you enjoy being with.  Living in an RV environment creates little communities which become quite tight knit over time.  We all are here for the more or less the same reasons so we feel quite close, so in saying that, we all decided that we will have a potluck, plate to pass, throwdown, tomorrow for everyone.  Our part is to supply the chickens so around noon I headed over to the chicken cooker factory to reserve some cooked chickens for later in the day.  If you don't reserve them, they are often all gone by about 4 pm.  

They look and smell sooo good.

The chicken cooker outside.  Woodfired.

Order through the little low windows

It was tough not to nibble on them once I got them home.  

We had a great whale show this afternoon.  There were 3 or 4 out in the bay about a half mile out.  Pictures don't really show much but with the binoculars it was quite spectacular.  They were leaping out of the water and then doing big tail slaps for about a half hour.  From now until late February they will be quite active out in front of us.

We finished the evening up with a good game of cards.  Lots of fun and laughter.  

The game cart full of games of all sorts

Every kid in the country will be watching the sunset tonight knowing that the jolly old fellow will be coming soon!   Good Nite and Merry Christmas!!!

We Have a Little Sneaker Around Here!

WHERE ARE WE? Numero Uno RV Park, La Penita, Mexico

So we have a beautiful pool here and in the month of December we don't use it nearly enough.  With the temperatures only around 27C we don't feel the need for it, but next month it will start to warm up and we will be in it more.  Today I got the Flyball net up and we had a round of Flyball!! I always miss taking a picture with everyone in there mainly because I am one of them.  We played 3 rousing rounds and I have no idea if I won or lost.  Not that we don't keep score, but rather because I forget!!!

We are enjoying having Max around and we had to laugh at him this afternoon.  He came sneaking to our motorhome with a little bag with 2 cupcakes in it.  He kept looking behind himself as he came, like someone was chasing him.   He said to me that I had to be real quiet because he had snuck the cupcakes from home.  When Sue came out he told her to be quiet as well while he ate one.  He did give us a little we crumb each.  It was funny to watch him think he was getting away with murder!!

We are tickled pink to be where we are here in Mexico.  We have a lovely spot that is close enough to the ocean so we can hear RRV rust, but who cares.  It will end up in a junk yard someday and no one will say, boy you should have parked farther from the ocean.  Good Nite!!

Fany, Jeff and Max Arrive today!

WHERE ARE WE? Numero Uno RV Park, La Penita, Mexico

This morning was Domingo and on Sunday, Abuela has Birria.  It is the best Birria around and Ron and I went and had some.  We had nice full bellies when we left.  Thanks Abuela!!

Not long after we arrived home, Jeff sent me a text saying that they had the trailer all hooked up and were heading to our park.  They have been in the big trailer park since we arrived in late October and will now spend a few months with us here in Numero Uno.  

Fany had to get on the roof at one point and do some branch trimming.

The street is quite narrow

The girls were wondering if there was enough room to get in the gate.  Jeff looked at me and said "Hold My Beer!!"

All parked up perfectly

Welcome to Numero Uno!!

Sue was glad to have Max here and immediately got out the craft things.  She will have fun with him.

Our cluster of banana's is still fairly green but 3 of them turned yellow today.  It is amazing that they were as green as grass yesterday and now they are ready.  

There seems to be a Christmas theme going on in the park.  I guess it is Christmas time.

Tonight Fany managed to catch the first sunset for them here at this park.  We hope to share a bunch more with them and everyone here in the next few months.  Good Nite!!
