Mexican life......fishing and tourists. Taken next to one of the 12 North Beach restaurants.
Los Pericos a restaurant and hotel a block up from the ocean. Live music for breakfast!
Some of the beautiful flowers y colors of Mexico. (in Terralta I on my walk to the beaches)Juerves, Febrero, Dieci-Ocho Dos Mil Diez
Blue skies and perfect temperature, for a walk this morning. After a bit of coffee and writing. (break)
By email, I learned yesterday that a Rosenow Reunion is quickly being planned. March 24-April 5, 2010. (yes, next month!) The goal is to get all 10 of the siblings, and their families, together with Mom, whose 84th birthday is March 26th. The location will include Sierra Madre, Temecula, and San Diego. (all Southern CA, for those that don’t know) It appears that my open schedule just closed, a bit. I’m greatly looking forward to seeing everybody! And as a bonus, I think my favorite daughter Jamie, and son, David, will be attending. Yeah!
Buenos Dias!
Reason #2 for choosing Mexico: La Playas (beaches) In previous blogs I showed a few pics of the sandy beaches in Bucerias, they are fantastic. And they go on for miles, literally 20-30 miles. One could walk, if so inclined, from Boca de Tomatlan on the South end of PV, to Punta de Mito to the North. And that is not the entire Bay of Banderas. (note, the 3rd largest bay in the world is Banderas Bay) It’s huge!! The beach in “Sayulita is also fantastic, and I love going up there for sunsets. Speaking of which, I believe tonight will be a great sunset and Kodak opportunity.
9:40am and back from my morning walk. Stopped at Panini’s and picked out a used book (The Alibi Man by Tami Hoag) and a fresh bagel. (16p) I remembered Dennis the owner from his Sayulita store. (he didn’t charge me for the book) Checked out the Colibri Condos and met Sallie, the manager. Took some more pics, bought 1.892 litre de leche (21.5p), and headed home. Desayuno y jugo naranja, (breakfast and orange juice) then a peak at that new/used book.
2:20pm So much for the evening plans which were to include another movie, a few cervezas, a sunset, and some chicken curry…..a storm is brewing…the winds are howling…and the drops are huge. Back to the book and some coffee.
3:03pm So the price of a taxi from my place to the office is the same as 3 cervezas. Hum, what to do? Donning my McGuiver Suisse drip-dry travel shirt, the one with 19 pockets, two of which I have yet to find, I made a decision….to get wet! With my laptop in a giant zip-lock…I ventured out.
9 minutes later…..The office was jammed with hockey lovers. Watched USA beat Norway! Yeah. 2 hours later, after some homework, and tres cervezas, time to move….raining hard……
Found the video store, asked for The Ghost Writer, Jose found “it” and sold me a second movie, Asesino Ninja and I slid over to the Shamrock for a few cervezas. Natalie y Gil were working. Short night.
I stopped at a street taco stand and ordered tres tacos azada, they looked great and I made the trek home. (Gil had recommended the place, corner of Av. Mexico y Hildago. Across the street from The Twisted Rose.)
Note: Ghost Writer and Ghost Rider are not the same movie. Lol I learned that one the hard way. It was possibly the worst movie I have watched, entirely. One just keeps hoping that it gets better, it didn’t. (must laugh at oneself when that happens) However, the tacos were some of the best I’ve ever eaten, anywhere. At 9 pesos/each, it was a fantastic meal. They just made my BoB list. Time for a chapter or two, and then…..
