Are We Forgetting?

WHERE ARE WE? La Penita, Nayarit, Mexico

On this day, please take time not only to remember those that gave their lives for us, but what they gave their lives for!  I fear we are quickly forgetting what they fought for.  

Sue Gets a CT Appointment

WHERE ARE WE? La Penita, Nayarit, Mexico

Last night Joel was out on the beach for a couple of hours and I had no idea what he was doing.  It turns out that he was shoveling up a berm to stop the water from coming into the yard here.  He is such a hard worker and is truly concerned about looking after this property.  We sure like having him around.  

While walking with Archie today, we came across this pile of clothes on the beach.  There was a hat, shirt, underwear, pants and shoes laying there.  There was no sign of anyone around and I spent some time scanning the ocean for a swimmer, but nope.  Alan and Sherry saw that the clothes were still there an hour later.  It gets one thinking about what happened to the guy?  Did he just go for a swim and never return?  Does someone miss him?  Mysteries of a Mexican beach.

I did manage to wander downtown for my favourite Birra.  My guy was there cooking up a storm.  I think he makes a good living with his little vendor cart.

We had some new people move into the park for a couple weeks.  Danielle and Alan are in site 3 and we hope they enjoy their time here.

I was upstairs today removing some tape from the windows that was there from when there was a threat of a hurricane.  When I was there, I managed to take a quick photo of everyone having fun in the pool.  It is an awesome view from here.

We took a little drive down to the Bodega because we had to pick up our Remitly cash this afternoon.  We had a few things to pick up at the store too and guess what?  The bun lady just dumped a fresh batch of the most yummy buns in the bin!!!  They were still hot!!!  Had to have some of those.

Susan finally got word that she has an appointment for a CT Scan on Thursday in Puerta Vallarta.  I believe it is for 12 or 12:30.  We will have more to report then.  For now, she feels pretty good and is eating better and has more energy.

  

We managed to see a sunset tonight for a change.  It just sort of caps off a wonderful day.  Good Nite!!

A Little Job Done Today

WHERE ARE WE? La Penita, Nayarit, Mexico

The tides are still high this morning although my tide app says they are going down a bit every day.  We sit and discuss that and a lot of other things on our morning coffee breaks.  Life is so good here on the beach.

I did have to change out a lock today for our guests in No Vista.  It is an electric combination lock and by luck I found one downtown with a bunch of dust on it at half the price of any other one I could find.  I got busy and changed it and it works wonderful.

We almost got a sunset tonight but were robbed at the last minute.  Oh well it was still a great day.  Good Nite!!

The Tide are High Right Now

WHERE ARE WE? La Penita, Nayarit, Mexico

We have been experiencing some "King Tides" here lately which result in some water coming into the yard if the waves are a bit higher.   About every 10 minutes a bigger wave will crash on the beach and if the force is right, sometimes it comes up over the sand at our fence. There is really no danger to the property, but it is neat to see.    The actual level of the water at high tide is about 10 feet below the property so the wave has to have a lot of power in it to make it splash over the sand berm.

The odd big wave rolls in 

High tide is just before our morning coffee so we get to see any of the action that is happening.

Some days there is not much to report and today was one of those days.   The weather is a lot better now so we are enjoying more outside time.  Good Nite!!!

The Paramotors Are Back Flying Around

WHERE ARE WE? La Penita, Nayarit, Mexico

Update on Sue!!!  She is taking the week off and drinking lots of water and taking the medication she was prescribed.  Dr, changed her medication and some of the nausea has gone away and for now she is feeling better and eating again.  Next stop is a CT scan.  

We have been watching a morning dove flying around the little palapa where we sit to watch sunsets and sometimes sip coffee.  Sue had noticed a couple days ago that she had a nest up in the palapa and today I went to have a look.  Sure enough, there she was sitting on a nest up in the top.  

While I was there I must have startled her and she flew off so I grabbed my chance to check the nest.  Sure enough there were a couple of little chicks in the nest.  We will get to watch them grow and leave the nest in the next couple weeks hopefully.  

Later in the morning I had to check on the combination lock on the suite that wasn't working.  It seems that there is something electrical ailing it.  The salt air down here really is hard on electonics.  I guess its time for a new one.

Sherry and Sue helped out by putting Jen's palm disks on the concrete benches in hopes that they will dry flat.  They were starting to turn black where they were without air circulation.  They will need to be sanded and painted at some point.

The paramotors are back for a few days.  I always envy these guys just flying around so slowly and peacefully.  Well I guess they are noisy but I can handle that.  They are only here for a few days.

Another thing I would like to do one day is go for a balloon ride.  So far the closest I have come are the cute little replica's that Jeff and Fany sell.  Thanks guys they look great at the end of the awning.

Sue didn't want any supper tonight so I just headed downtown for some fish and chips.  I was just starting my meal and Kenia showed up.  It was nice to share some time with her again.  

We are slowly getting set up here for the winter.  It has been a month since we left home, 5 more to go.  We are looking forward to a fun winter here.  Good Nite!!!
