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!!!

Watching Caterpillars turn into Butterflies

WHERE ARE WE? La Penita, Nayarit, Mexico

The construction on the new condo's continues and it looks like they are prepping the pool area.  There will be a ground level pool and a rooftop pool as well.  It is a good place for Archie and I to walk to each day.  

The caterpillars that we have in the vine on the house have gone into cocoons and some of the early ones are turning into butterflies.  Apparently the caterpillars are quite nasty if they get on you and they leave a burn type sensation.  Anyway it makes for fun watching them do their thing.

the underside of the wings are sort of plain

But the top is amazing

lots of spectators

nasty little caterpillars

The rest of the day was spent relaxing and waiting for sunset.  It was beautiful when it did arrive.

Ken fell asleep waiting.

We caught Wanda and Irwin and John and Susan strolling down the beach on their way for supper.  John and Susan will be heading back to the Great White North tomorrow!!!  See you again!!!

And they walked off into the sunset!!

The sun has climbed all the way up to the top of the mountain and will begin its descent into the ocean over the next couple weeks.  Winter is going fast this year and it won't be long before we have to leave.  Good Nite!!!

Mmmm Chocolate

WHERE ARE WE? La Penita, Nayarit, Mexico

Not much went on around here today.  I worked most of the day on the computer doing some of my housing stuff.  It always takes a couple days at the end of the month.  Archie and I did take a little walk back up to the condo construction because today there was a track hoe there prepping for the installation of the ground level pool.  There will be another pool on the roof I'm told.

Susan and Wanda came by this afternoon and got some chairs and went and sat on the beach.  They seemed to enjoy being there and it wasn't long and Wanda was snoring!!!

Not many people left on the beach for tonight's Archie walk. 

Tonight was blog catch up night so I got into the chocolate treats Isaiah and Kenia gave me.  They are very high quality chocolate and are they ever good.  That was my day.  Good Nite!!!
