Kites & Party Time, Feb 1-2, 2009

The weather here has just be stellar. Clear blue skies and a light gentle breeze. What goes better together than kites and winds. These kites were enormous and there were three of them.

On Super Bowl Sunday a few of us ladies got together and played Mexican Train—what more appropriate game to pay while in Mexico. If you sat in the sun you were warmer than those who did not. Of course some of the guys watched the game.

On Monday evening we played this very unique game that Richard had emailed to Linda O. the U-tube link about a month ago. Linda O has purchased the necessary playing pieces. Needless to say-it was hilarious. You placed the toilet plunger between your legs and your partner put a roll of toilet paper in the same position. I’ll let the photos explain further.

The winning team!! Lorraine, Sue, Linda (me) and Jeanette. Oh, to win you had to get three rolls of toilet paper in the bucket.

The guys were anxious for their turns.

In this special moment in life…Try something new

Beach Walk and Birthday Dinner, Jan. 31, 2009

We went for a beach walk this morning, the tide was low so we walked a long ways. Over my head the the RV park. Here is a line of our coaches, ours is the 2nd from the left.

Guess what Chuck and Linda (not me) are taking photos of...see all the cameras lined up.

The group. We are all gathered together before walking down to the restaurant here at the park to celebrate Sue's birthday, the lady in pink.

This is Sue being serinated with Happy Birthday Mexican style.We had a great meal, most of us ordered the buffet, $8.75 and got there just in time for the $2.00 margaritas! Yum.
We were then treated to this sunset over the Sea of Cortez.

In the special moment in life...Discard worry

Shacks and a Boat Trip, Jan. 29 & 30, 2009

First thing on Thursday morning the shrimp guy came around the campground selling shrimp. We bought a pound of these for $7--boy are they good.

Then the group headed off to Shacks Fifth Avenue to spend what we could. Here are a couple of kids tiptoeing across these speed bumps, they are high, about 4 inches. The street at Shacks is paved, but all roads leading to and from are sand.

The dogs run free and don't seem to bother anyone.

Of course I found chickens, didn't buy any. My one purchase was some Christmas ornaments for next Christmas for my family and relatives. No photos of those you will just have to wait and see them.

Lunch time was then necessary after all that shopping. Table 1. Sue & Mark, Connie & Manual, Richard & Patsy, Lorraine & Chuck.

Table 2. Marsha, Lynda, Kathy, Mike, Earl, and Jim.

And table 3-this is where I was sitting, notice the huge margaritas. Bob, Linda & Mike, Jeanette and Bill.

And, this was lunch, a shrimp cocktail in this wonderful salsa type sauce and a margarita with chips and salsa on the side.

Bob and I along side of this sea gull decorated statue. We better not stand too still here or we will be decorated.

On Friday, ten of us headed out on this boat to do some fishing, I had opted not to fish, but to just come along for the ride. The seas were ROUGH and although you see me here looking only a little green, things had been worse! I won't go into the details, but you can imagine.

Mark did catch this stringer of fish, pretty impressive. There were several hooks on the line and every one had a fish! Bob's enjoying a break with a margarita, he had made it himself--you can only guess the proportions!

Here is our catch for the day--not much for $500. Some of the group that did not go fishing went into town and bought some fish and shrimp. Bob did a great job of grilling up the protein for the evening potluck meal.

A photo of the RV park we are staying in taken from the fishing boat returning home. By the time we were coming back the seas had calmed-thank goodness!

In this special moment in life...Smile often
