Catching Up on the Blog

WHERE ARE WE? La Penita, Nayarit, Mexico

We were invited to join Kenia for breakfast up at the RV park today.  Ceci does a great job of all the meals she prepares.  As is with Kenia and as with Mexican tradition, she showed up about 10:40 for a 10 o'clock meet time. LOL.  We enjoyed spending some time with some friends from the park that we don't see too often.  Carol and Grant, Joel and Louise, George and Henny, Del and Leslie and of course Kenia, Rafi, Ceci, and Ada.

After chatting away for a couple hours we headed home and laid low until it was time for Archies walk. He has his favourite dogs that he likes to hang out with on the beach. 

Another beautiful sunset as it makes its way across the water toward the island.

And a beautiful after glow.

I spent a couple hours catching up on my blogging before calling it a day.  Good Nite!!

Some Fixing Before Supper

WHERE ARE WE? La Penita, Nayarit, Mexico

Today dawned a birria kind of day so I went looking for it.  My standby guy was not on the street today so I had to find a new place.  Just around the block was a place advertising all things Mexican including Menudo and Birria, so I knew it would be good.  Yup I was right.  Very good in fact.  I will go back there for sure another day.

A little project today was fixing a leaky toilet.  I had to replace the rubber seals to get it to stop leaking.  And a flapper on another toilet and I was done.  Good job me!!!

Because Jeff and Fany and Max and Tracy are heading back north next week, we had to have the last supper with them at Las Koritas (Sergios).  He treated us like royalty like usual and we all had a great meal.  Thanks Sergio.

The gang

And I managed a sunset picture as we were leaving for supper.  Been another good day.  Good Nite!!

Its All About the Sun

WHERE ARE WE? La Penita, Nayarit, Mexico

The beach was very quiet tonight when Archie took me for my walk.  Lots of snowbirds have flown north and left us this pretty beach.

Only my friend Astor doing some fishing.

A Willet getting its breakfast as well

And just like that, the day was done.  All we had left was a beautiful sunset with the gang again.  I was playing with my phone and came up with some neat alterations for your viewing.  

what if the sand was grass!!!

like a wild west movie evening

And the sunset itself was a great one again tonight.  

And for those of you who believe that Christ will come back for us one day, I almost envision it might 

be like this when he does.  I am quite convinced it will not be on a cloudy day.  An event like that would have to be spectacular.  Good Nite!!

Bye to Friends and Cemetery Celebration

WHERE ARE WE? La Penita, Nayarit, Mexico

We headed to PV this morning to take Wanda and Irwin to the airport.  My how time has flown this year and we never did half of what we said we would do with them.  It hasn't helped that Sue was away for about 6 weeks of their stay.  We all went out for breakfast in Bucerius and then off to the airport.  Irwin was torn on whether he should wear shorts or long pants because it is cold up north.  He came up with a compromise and this was it.

I noted while eating breakfast that the price of gas has not increased unlike Canada.  It is still expensive however.

hard to read but 24.39/liter ($1.88 Cnd)

We had an uneventful trip and were home about noon.  On our way we saw a bunch of cowboys riding in the ditch on their way to Lo de Marcos from El Monteon.  Not sure the deal but there were 50 or more of them.

I got a shot of the temp on the car dash and it indicated HOT!!!  Pool time when we get home.

Ed got a new toy that he got to try out in the pool today.  It is a motorized chair and he can buzz around the pool with it.  Forward or backward or do circles.  Looks like great fun.  He wants to try it in the ocean one day when it is calm.

About 4 pm we headed down to the old cemetery down the road from us.  They are doing a special recognition of the work that owners of the big condos being built around here have chipped in to do.  They have cleaned the grounds, fixed lots of the burial boxes, built a lovely wall surrounding it.  It used to be overgrown and really spooky.  It is actually quite nice now.  

some of the graves are being washed out to sea

They had a great crowd.

There was lots of waiting around because Mexicans are never on time.

First thing was the unveiling of the first of 9 murals that are being painted on the walls depicting the culture of the people buried here.  Very nice.

Then they had some traditional dancing and a Mariachi band performing.  All very traditional Mexican.  They love to dress pretty and they love their music and dance and it shows on their faces.

Our favourite people

beautiful hat

 

We got to watch the sunset from the grave yard tonight.  

Sunset in a crypt

About that time they announced that there would be a parade lead by the Mariachi band and the dancers and lo and behold they marched right down almost to RRV!!  We just followed along and then when we got close to home, we bailed!!

                                            

We got home in time to watch the sunset afterglow with everyone.  That was our day. Good Nite!!
