Electric Wire Bandit

WHERE ARE WE? La Penita, Nayarit, Mexico

Overnight we lost power for some reason.  I looked around to see if the power company was working anywhere.  Nope, no sign of them.  Back at the park I tried the lights by the public bathrooms and the light turned on.  What the heck.  No power on the RV side though.  We were outside the fence and Hubert called me over and said the feed wires from the meter had been cut!!!  Why is that? 

Something not right here.

Sergio came over to check things out with us

After a lot of head scratching we came up with the theory that a bandido had come to collect copper wire in the middle of the night and he got the neutral cut and when he went to cut the hot wire, it grounded out and gave him a blast so he gave up on the mission.  We have decided to look for someone with frizzy hair this morning and that would be our man!!!

There are the cut wires

We called the electrician to come and fix the problem but I had a date with Kenia this morning.  Her and I have not had much time together this year because she is a busy girl.  She was joining me for Birria at the market today.  Her brother Bryan joined us as well.  It is sooo good.

After Birria I took a walk in the market and picked up a couple things.  I needed to pick up a loaf of sour dough bread and a flashlight.  I have lost 2 flashlights since we arrived here and have no idea where they are.  They had a led rechargeable that I think will work for me.

This street dog loved the bunny rabbits.

Sour dough bread

120 peso's

Next was a hair cut for the rough guy.  Its been about 2 and a half months since my last one.  Rosita always does a good job and we always do a photo op.  

I remind me of my mom. Just need a bonnet!!!

When I got home, the electrician was just finishing up putting the wire back together and burying the cable so the banditos can't cut it anymore.  Good job guys for getting the power back on.

One of the things we have been watching is the transformation of caterpillars to butterflies.  We have been treated to some really nice butterflies emerging, and there are still lots of caterpillars and cocoons!!

I have been playing a form of scrabble with Sue on line.  She is pretty good at that game and I can only think of 3 letter words.  I won at least one game.  It does pass the time of day.

We did get treated to a really awesome sunset tonight.  Good Nite!!!

I Hate the Ice Cream Here

WHERE ARE WE? La Penita, Nayarit, Mexico

Today was another relaxing day.  I did go get bottled water but that was all of my chores.  In the afternoon I took a ride downtown on the bike and got my self an ice cream and just sat and people watched.  The ice cream here is anything but good.  CJ's would not exist if we served this ice cream.

Archie has been getting quite hot with his big cover of hair.  Time for a grooming maybe!!!  There is a new groomer/vet just down the street so I set up to take him in on Friday morning.  It will be good to get that hair off of him.

Sunset tonight was only a partial one.  A little bit of cloud cover just let us see a glimpse of the sun before it set.  Good for today.  Good Nite!!!

A Beach Day

WHERE ARE WE? La Penita, Nayarit, Mexico

Most of my day was spent on the beach.   We have a lovely area inside the fence with nice sand and comfy chairs.  I grabbed a comfy one real early and kept my hands on it all day.  Wanda and Irwin came for a visit and Rhonda joined us as well.  Irwin and I may of had a short nap, not sure.  

Later we all sat around some more to watch another lovely sunset.  The sun is rolling down the hill quite quickly it seems.  Good Nite!!

we have a great view from our chairs.

A Dog Day Afternoon

WHERE ARE WE? La Penita, Nayarit, Mexico

Nothing much got accomplished around here today.  Normal pool stuff and pick up dog poop!!! lol.  Speaking of dogs, Archie was quite interested in my lunch today.  How can you not give him a bite.  

He is getting to be quite the furry chubby little ball of fur and he loves to sit up with me in my chair when I watch TV or have a nap.

I ran outside real quick to catch the sunset as it sank behind the hill.  That was the end to my day.  Good Nite!!!

Birria Sunday

WHERE ARE WE? La Penita, Nayarit, Mexico

Birria day again today.  I met up with Jeff and Fany and Max for some Birria in their part of town.  They have found a neat little shop that only sells Birria. It's called a Birrieria. Say that fast!! You can get it in a bowl here which is nice for a change.  We had Birra taco's, Quesabirria which is a Quesadilla with birria in it, and I had a bowl of Birria.  It was all very good!!!

See that salsa in the bottle?  Deadly!!!

note the birria on the moustache and beard!!

Doesn't look like I need much to eat!!!

Today was the semi final and final of the Scotties Womens Curling, so I took the time to watch them.  There was some good curling, not spectacular but good.  Einersons' last shot to win it all was probably the best shot I saw all day.  They are off to the Worlds in a few weeks.  Next weekend is the Brier Mens.  

After the curling I went downtown to visit with Kenia and Carol at the Cafecito.  They were quite busy tonight but had time to make me my peach bionico.  Because it is so sweet and rich, I only get a half cup.

Of course being Sunday there was a huge mass.  I love to stand and listen to the music.  Also there were quite a few vendors in the plaza selling their wares.  I hung around a while, then home.  Good Nite!!!
