Easter!

Mexico being a Catholic country, Easter is BIG here. Everyone has had 2 weeks off, the schools closed, with parades, umpteen church services and even a full reinactment of JC being tried, nailed to the cross (not literally, thank goodness!) and dragging his cross through town.

The bishop came and in the town square they took down the basketball posts, built a stage and had a full mass, complete with baptisms, confirmations - the whole enchilada.

The square was packed with locals, taking part in this ceremony.

This isn't a great shot, but gives you an idea of how full the square was.

Marina fun

We had a nice visit with Ken and Becka, Dar and Art on their wonderful sailboats, moored at the El Cid marina . El Cid is a huge timeshare just south of town, with a beautiful marina built in behind a seawall. We had great munchies, great drinks and got to know each other.

This is Ken and Becka's 37 ft sailboat, which they live on about 8 months a year.

This is Darlene and Art's 44 foot boat, on which they live on and off in about 3 month stints.

Ken and Art camping it up!

John Stewart's last show

John gave a wonderful show for his last event of the season - see you again next year, John!
The Girls, Daf, Rebecca and Rhonda had a great night and enjoyed the last show at David Lau's!

Animals galore!

Isn't it amazing how kittens can just fall asleep ANYWHERE......ANY TIME........?????

Mum's lap is a good place, while she reads and drinks iced tea.

Or the floor will do, when he has just gone full our playing for half an hour and then just crashes.......!

Please meet Huesos (Bones) who is the dog run over by a taxi - who aimed for him!!!

He has had his hip operated on and is now tied in his yard getting morning nursing care from his "Moms" Diane and I. He gets a little better every day, but has a long recovery ahead.

Girls Night Out!

John Cooker's last concert of the season was packed and the guys put on an awesome show!

See you next year, John - we will miss you! Good thing John Stewart is still around for a while or this town would be pretty quiet!

Girls night out with Rhonda, Rebecca and Sharon - we had supper, listened to the music and enjoyed a great evening!

Last Saturday for John Cooker

David Lau's was full on Sat night as John and his friends put on an awesome show.

Friends from Iowa had a great time - and will be back again next year!

Even Valorie took a moment out of her wild schedule to boogie to the great music!

Lazy day

Inside this little carrier is a ferral black cat, just about to return "home" to the ADO bus station, where it lives. I picked him up yesterday, took him to Dr. Jorge to get snipped, and then he spent the night freaking out in our bathroom. Trashed the place trying to find a way out, but this morning there he was, all curled up back in the cat carrier, so home he went, with a good supply of food. The staff at the bus station love him and so he is very friendly and sweet, just has never been in a house before.




The rest of the day this is where I was, floating in the pool, reading my book, drinking iced tea - a real day off!!!!!!

Chi'ik, late last night, fell into the pool as he was running along the edge talking to a cat on our wall. Today, however, he was still curious about whether maybe HE could float around in the pink ring.............




He drinks from the pool and seems to like being on the rim while I am in there reading or even doing my exercises - except when I splash too much!
