The sands of time. Just as the ocean waves never stop nor does time. Tick, tock, tick tock! It’s March 1st! Where have the past 4 months gone? We arrived here November 1, 2010 and now we are down to our last 4 weeks. I’ve been blue the last few days, perhaps that’s why I haven’t posted. Lots to think about. My Dad was to have had his second hip replacement surgery today but in all the pretesting to be sure he was up to the surgery at age 80 they discovered a problem in his heart. So last week he had an angiogram with the intent of putting in a stent. I worried. It showed his heart was fine and he was good to have the surgery. So why did they do the test, an unnecessary strain on his body and now he is is back on the waitlist for surgery!! The medical profession often baffles me.
As time passes things are changing. Colin is getting ready to leave on the 6th to attend the International Guitar Festival in Culiacan. I already know how much I will miss him. Meanwhile we had 5 Rv’s leave last Sunday, all heading North. There were simultaneous farewell happy hours in both parks. We were treated to a great show by a pod of dolphins, a buen viaje bonus.
These two surfers seem to be saying, "look there are 15 more !!".
It was difficult to capture them in the camera..they were out a ways.
Then the next morning the exodus began. It is sad as there are another three rigs from this park leaving next week. I think the sadness comes in the realization that we won’t be seeing these friends for another 7 months and perhaps some not at all.
Adios Jessie & Gary....
Do you see Caeli under the table?
Yesterday at low tide we went down to the Puesta del Sol for a late lunch ( and as it turned out, dinner…YUM! ). A perfect place to lift my spirits. Such a beautiful beach and the wonderful people of Mexico. What could be better? We watched a family playing ball while waiting for their food.
First they had to 'fix' the net.
The love of life and family was so very evident.
Carmeh was certainly enjoying life to the fullest!
We spoke of many things but most importantly was how we felt that this was home. I know that we had said the same thing about Acapulco in all the winters we had spent there but times are changing and now we would not feel to safe traveling so far south, especially to Acapulco. Mazatlan is a great location; only a 2 day drive from the USA and close to an airport if there was a need to fly home and we feel very safe here. So I had better get on with my day and enjoy every second of my last 28 days. Adios for now.
