A Fun Day and thats No Bull

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

No rain today but it was overcast all day.  Lots of chores in the morning to do today.  Archie and I went for our morning walk and I didn't realize how angry the ocean was today.  The waves were really foaming up the beach and the water was washing over the berm of sand all over the place.  Archie loved it and ran around lots.

I was on FB for a while after that and noted that our favourite restaurant, Las Korita's will be opening on December 3.   I was on the phone right away making a reservation.

I told Drew and Leena about the angry ocean and we all went for a walk to check it out.  Archie and Willie loved the waves and Willie even dived into the estuary by accident and had to swim back.  He was a little surprised.

Sue found a dead turtle laying upside down on the beach.  She tried to turn it up the right way but a big wave came and took it back out to the ocean.  

Back home we put on a pan of scrambled eggs to fill the tummy.  Sue did a little magic and made it amazing.

Later in the afternoon we went shopping in Guayabitos at the Bodega.  The Bodega is like a little Mexican Walmart.  The reason for going there is for the Bollio Buns.  They are the best anywhere and are light and fluffy and normally hot out of the oven.

Before going home we did a little tour out to El Monteon and drove out in the country.  We saw pineapple fields and lots of cows and a great big bull.  Its always fun to tour out in the country.

Pineapple

He has his eyes on the ladies!!

We saw lots of trees with these pails hanging in them.  There was something hanging inside the pail as well.  We have no idea what they are but will do some research.  Meanwhile does anyone have any ideas?

And of course the guard dog in a tree having his siesta!!  He did pick up his ears as we went by.  

I'm gonna go to bed after I post this picture and you can figure out why?  Some things in life do not make sense, nor do they care if it makes sense around here.  Its not hurting anything so let it go!!! Good Nite!!

A Rainy Day in Paradise

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

We woke up this morning to the pitter patter of rain on the roof.  Just a very light rain. This is a very rare occurrence for here but it is nice to have.  Everything starts to dry out this time of year and the lush greenness starts to fade, but then a nice rain like this comes along and everything gets green again.  It is better than the snow our family back home is getting.  Our daughter Karalee will be out on the highways in her snow plow truck I guess and Sheri will be selling extra hot tubs.  

Kaitlyn spent the day changing her tires to the winter ones.  I am glad to see her knowing how to do it.  

 A little walk with Archie on the beach and then Drew, Leena and I headed to Abuela's for our Sunday birria.  We enjoyed it as usual and were home again by 10 am. 

Looks like it was a little early for Drew.

Pretty much light drizzle all day long.  The ocean is different again when it is hazy and overcast.  A different kind of beauty for sure.

We caught a little break in the rain this afternoon so I took Archie for another beach walk.  

Some TV and we called it a day.  Oh we did try to watch the Grey Cup but we couldn't get it without paying!!  I haven't paid for a game this season so I wasn't about to pay to watch this one.  I know that Winnipeg lost same as you, and it didn't cost me a dime!!  Good Nite!!

Just Few Chores Today.

Archie and I saw lots of birds on our walk today.  There are lots of Pelicans now that the fishermen are back in full swing.  They wait patiently for the fish guts to be thrown on the beach.  

I have been noticing a lot of vultures around this year.  We have not seen them on the beach much before this years.  The egrets on the other hand have been around here every year.

Drew headed out for a paddle board this morning.  He usually rows out to the reef and back which is a couple mile hike.  It was getting quite warm by the time he got back.

When I was watering some plants this morning, I rousted out a little iguana.  Do you se him up in the tree?

We are running short of drinking water so I grabbed our bottles and headed down to the local refill shop.  They do such a good job of washing and sanitizing the bottles and fill them and put them in the car.  10 pesos each or .50 USD.  It is only a couple blocks from us so quite handy.

They do offer a delivery service but we would rather keep our own bottles so that's why we take them ourselves.

And their little delivery cart is what I want for delivering wood back at CJ's in the summer.  I think I would look good driving around on it.

About 7:30 Leena and I headed downtown.  She needed a couple things from the fruiteria and I had told Kenia we would drop by to see her.  She was a little bit busy but did have time to make me a bionico. It is a cup of fruit with sweet sauce poured over the top.  It was very good.  I did take a minute to check out the taco guy.  Boy is it ever hard to walk by with all the smells coming from the cart.  

We didn't stick around for very long before heading home.  

I was quite satisfied with my steps today.  In this hot humid weather I just can't walk that far and feel ok so I haven't been worrying about it.  Once the Santa Anna winds roll in and take the humidity away, I will try to get back up to my normal 10,000 steps.

A little bit of TV and a blog post and I was off to bed.  Good Nite!!!

A New Restaurant Tonight

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

We are at a point where we do a lot of things the same every day.  I have had my phone with me less and less so the pictures are less as well.  Believe me, if something crazy happens I will make sure to tell you.  Todays post start with the view I see every morning out our front window.  Being parked on the beach like this is a one in a lifetime opportunity and we are loving it.

Now lets fast forward to 5 pm when we went to Daria's Pizza for supper.  I have never been here but have heard that it is quite tropical.  If you didn't know about it, you would never find it.  Its in a back yard and behind a convenience store.  But when you walk in, wow.  It was a great place and really good food at a reasonable price.  

Then it was back home for a bit of a relax.  Drew and Leena have a nice little set up.

We finished the evening with a nice swim in the pool.  Willie says he would like in there too.  That was it for us.  On to a new day.  Good Nite!!
