Friday, February 23, 2007 I picked up this beautiful Mexican tablecloth yesterday at the market in LaPenita, just north of Sayulita. It measures 213 cm long by 152 cm wide. For those that are metric-ly challenged, this 2.13 meters by 1.52 meters. It's actually a blanket, but don't tell the tablecloth, it thinks it's a tablecloth. If it ever new, it might go postal and turn into rags. I post this picture, because this blanket/tablecloth is for sale. I can purchase these for 200 pesos or about $18 usd. All I add is $2 bucks for transport, so for $20 you get a really bright product from Mexico. There are many different colors to choose from and I will gladly send you more pics if you're interested. Note: this is not one of those cheap $4 blankets you get in Tijijana that have that smell. I leave Mexico by April 1st, so let me know well before that date.

More than one family homeschools their kids for 4-6 weeks as they vacation in Sayulita. Here we have Orlando/Eveett, from Taos, NM, celebrating their dauther's 12th birthday with fireworks and cake on the beach. How great is that!

In an effort to increase my privacy, by just a bit, I resorted to buying a skirt. aaah!

The middle picture is one taken at 6:30am as I stepped out of my van.

The sunsets are priceless here in Sayulita.

Zoe and Al are my favorites and when they play at the Macondo restaurant, I am almost always in the audience. Perhaps that is where I should have stayed when asked to play the harmonica. Visiting Canadians, Jean and Sheryl, friends and relatives of Norma & Loren, were enjoying the evening.

Here we have a great sunset dinner at Casa Pacifica which is a mile south of Sayulita heading towards Carasita beach. A pasta feast was fantastic with the bonus of Alberto & Dora owners of the Fish Taco place in town doing much of the cooking. Kattie, Gail & Pablo's daughter adds to the festivities with a birthday song for Alberto.
Fantastic food, friends, and sunset!

Sabado, Febrero Diez, Dos Mil Siete

Three retirees, each with a hearing loss, were playing golf one fine March day. One remarked to the other, "Windy, isn't it?" "No," the second man replied, "it's Thursday." And the third man chimed in, "So am I. Let's have a beer."

Here is a typical happy hour at the RV park at 5pm.

Sunset from Rick & Leslie's new casa.


What a view of Sayulita and the Pacific ocean.

Domingo, Febrero Cuatro, Dos Mil Siete

The afternoon began with Happy Hour at Rick & Leslie's place followed by a glass of wine at the new house which is being built in Sayulita and ending in San Pancho for pizza and music.

Do you really think Clancey and I traveled on plastic chairs in the back of Loren's pickup?

If you were to go to: www.casa-juanita.com, you would find a great place to rent while in Sayulita. The views are fantastic and that was the location of last night's wine & cheese party hosted by Juanita or as her friends call her, Tuck. These are a few pics of that party.

Sayulita Trailer Life
I took a couple of these photos from the balcony of one of the bungaloes at the park. My modest site is on the right next to the million dollar bus. From the same spot, but turning to my right is the beach and Terrazolla restaurant.

Zoe & Al (Musicians)
Rick & Leslie had Zoe, Al, Loren & Norma, and I over for dinner last Wednesday. Zoe & Al play at the Macondo Restaurant in Sayulita twice a week. Great friends. (all of them)

LaCruz, Mexico!

Sunday afternoons, at Ana Bananas, in LaCruz Mexico, live music happens. Open mic, so anybody can start a career. Rick & Leslie and I had the pleasure this past Sunday to enjoy this experience. Rick brought his guitar and one of these pics show him pickin' and a strumin'.
Leon is the taller one on the washboard, the other gentleman is 87 years old.

More Bocce Awards night pics!
All those that have attended Trailer Park potlucks can attest to wonderful spread that appears every time. The bocce awards night was no exception. Fantastic variety of great foods including smoked salmon. Theis, the park owner, and Doug, the organizer are preparing for the awards which included 15 bottles of wine. One of the pics shows us congratulating the team that let us come from 8 & 15 to win 21 & 15. Thanks.
