5C's Que Pasa

Disassembly is not the correct word.  Nor is deconstruction, which is what I want to use, but that is not right either, so for now disassembly is the best I can come up with!!  Bottom line , we have begun to tear my garden apart…it just breaks my heart.  I have 2 yards in Kelowna [...]

While attending the International Guitar Festival Colin lived in the home of the Soberanes Family.  His days started about 7:30AM.  Some days he had breakfast with the family, other days he headed directly to the Cultural Centre where an International competition took place for accomplished student guitarists.  There were also daily Master classes on technique, [...]

…how come people stand like this?  A small photo essay! And some even sleep this way!!! Hummm!!!!!!  Any thoughts?

Colin got back from Culiacan about 5:00PM Sunday evening.  The girls, that includes me, were so happy to see him.  Carmeh never let him out of her sight. He had a wonderful trip and many special experiences.  More about that another day.  We spent the evening catching up.  The actual road trip was uneventful other [...]

It has come to my attention, late Sat. March 12 ( yesterday ), that Holland America Cruise Lines has dropped Mazatlan from its itinerary for the rest of the season.  This is very very sad news.  There will be NO further cruise ships docking here.  All the beach vendors will be affected and most especially [...]

Unlike the unfortunate people of Japan life went on as normal yesterday afternoon.  The port reopened late afternoon & a few surfers were out.  I found out that the one embarcadero to Mazatlan had been totally closed and the second one, the main one, had police on either end to quickly enforce a closure if [...]

I am writing this to allay fears of family and friends. Because of the devastating 8.9 earthquake in Japan we here  in Mazatlan and on the Isla, are on alert for a tsunami.  We are not overly concerned because we are somewhat protected by the tip of the Baja but we are still on alert. [...]

…it is 8:15 PM Mazatlan time and I am finally sitting down to dinner with you.  I’m having a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and cheese and crackers.  It has been a different day and I just never quite got around to posting on my blog.  We (that being the girls & I) awoke to heavy [...]

Yesterday three more RV’s headed North.  No one really wants to leave but we all have obligations at home.  This group started their engines about 6:00AM and were off. Colin is doing well in Culiacan, in fact his first day went from 7:30AM to 1:30AM.  He has taken some photos but hasn’t yet figured out [...]

I believe that this is the 5th year that he is attending the International Guitar Festival.  He is gone for 8 full days and stays at the home of Maestro Heriberto Soberanes who performed here on the Isla in January.  Colin will attend Master classes during the day and attend a concert each evening followed [...]
