5C's Que Pasa

After my blog yesterday on fish and fishing we received an email from some American friends.  We met this couple a few years ago online via Rv.net.  We have the same RV, we both have had them repainted, we have the same tow car (although Chuck uses a Jeep) and each have 2 dogs, one [...]

…aka Mahi mahi in Hawaii!  Colin and I use to go to Maui ( before wieners) annually for at least 3 weeks and our favorite meal was Mahi-mahi….little did we know that this is the same fish here in Mexico called Dorado!!!!!!!!!  When we head back to Canada our freezer is full of Dorado! Can [...]

Here on the Isla there is no fuel, no Pemex, which is the Mexican state-owned petro company. Most Rvers have 4 X 4′S and use the beach to bypass the  13 km horrid pot holed gravel road before reaching a paved road enroute to civilization. Fuel at the end of the beach is not too far [...]

Remember I told you that we might have another link critter lurking about RV1….we do, well we did!  One set of neighbors kept gently hinting to their friends that there was a bit of an odor coming from their vehicle….so it was finally investigated and discovered that indeed there was a deceased critter  inside. In [...]

Daily watering and the heat of the sun soon had the seeds growing.  They grew quickly with little care.  But grow they did.  Was I growing at the rate they were?  I think not.  Perhaps I relaxed too much, but don’t recall any major growth spurts.  Sure I’ve gained a few physical pounds while here [...]

…passed very quickly.  Sunday morning after coffee & fruit we wondered over to Pizza Benji’s for brunch. Heriberto played several pieces, Colin played a few and then Isela sang.  A bit later Isela and Heriberto sang together, always special to hear.  We were treated to an impromptu concert by Jon, a fellow RVer from Ontario, [...]

In true Mexican style the concert started 15 minutes late.  But oh what an event.  It was everything we had hoped it would be, the weather cooperated and we truly had a sunset concert.  The hotel did a magnificent job feeding 100 people and we heard that the food was excellent.  What more could you [...]

Concert day! We have been checking the weather forecast almost hourly for the past few days. The concert is to be on the patio of the Maria Coral Hotel overlooking the ocean.  The ocean that we just barely see.  The good news is that the sun is trying to peak through and brighten our day. [...]

If you recall back on Dec. 28 I introduced you to the critter.. http://www.contessajewall.com/2010/12/28/el-tlacuache/ That night Molly the Kat  had her Dad make a trap… The next day we had a vendor in the park selling cantaloupe at the incredible price of 5 cents CAD each or 4 for for 20 pesos.  We left the [...]
