5C's Que Pasa

This is our third winter in Mazatlan but the first time we attended the Carnivale Parade.  I have read that this is the third largest carnivale parade in the world!  This is a huge event plus it is a night parade, our first!  Lots of choices in the method of attending from renting a hotel [...]

We had so much fun yesterday.  The day should have just kept going and going.   I did not get a box of chocolates but…..   After our long long beach walk I did get a special gift! After a 90 minute massage we just hung around and enjoyed our afternoon together.   We then [...]

We didn’t see the sun for two entire days!  It was totally overcast, dull & grey, still warm except for certain wind gusts.  I hibernated and napped.  It was great, finished a few books and seriously thought about making stews and soups and all those wonderful winter foods.  Just thought about it mind you, certainly [...]

Blue sky.   27C.   A gentle warm ocean breeze.   Plus a gourmet brunch.  The perfect Sunday!        

Some of you may have received a strange blog post from me yesterday.  One of my readers thought I was playing a birthday joke on someone.  I wasn’t.  My blog was hacked into. What is even stranger is that not everyone experienced it.  I went over to friends in the RV park, he has a [...]

Yesterday Colin came back, safe and sound!  No problems driving there and back, no security problems! We had a great day yesterday, after unloading we strolled down the beach for a great late lunch at Elsy’s, then up the beach but no crabs to be found.  We spent the evening just relaxing as a family. [...]

Yesterday I mentioned the symphony here in Mazatlan that I missed because Colin is in Culiacan. Reader and fellow blogger Nancy made a comment with a mention of a website in which I could view and listen to the concert.  She toasted me with a glass of vino tinto. Not quite an hour later, longtime [...]

Very quiet here today.  Two couples have got in for the Sunday afternoon symphony featuring Bach.   Not only is Colin gone but our friends from Vernon have moved into Mazatlan Centro.  She has had a challenge with the wind and the colder days and after a few days in hospital with bronchitis and a [...]

After a glorious early morning beach walk with the girls we quickly changed into city clothes.  The Culiacan Symphony was in town for the first of 4 Sunday concerts.  The only glitch is that it starts at 12 noon!  Mainly to allow all the sports fans their NFL playoff TV time. This first concert was [...]

Equals no blog post!!!! No internet = no Google! How often do you Google a day….. ~I googled Vodka jello shots recently! ~As well as, do dogs get bronchitis? ~How to kill maggots? ~A dressing recipe for a carrot salad. ~The date of the International Guitar Festival in Culiacan in March! ~What causes acid reflux?
