More Birria Because its Market Day.

WHERE ARE WE? La Penita, Nayarit, Mexico

Guess what the highlight of my day was?  You guessed it, a trip to the market for birria.  There is a vendor that sets up just for market day and they have pretty good birria.  I enjoyed every bite!!

We managed to have another great sunset tonight.  It is interesting to watch the sun move across the water closer to the island.  Good Nite!!

Just a Normal Day

WHERE ARE WE? La Penita, Nayarit, Mexico

Well it was time to go to the coffee shop to get some more coffee. We have a place just down the street that roasts and blends its own coffee.  I think the guy actually owns a coffee plantation nearby.  They do most of their roasting at night so we often smell the roasted beans here at RRV.  Coffee here is not cheap like you might think. I paid 140 ($10.77)  peso's for half a kilo.  

I also had to get a key chain to put on Brad and Julies trailer keys. There are a couple little trinket shops on the Avenida that have all kinds of key chains and such. We needed something we could write their name on so the back of this one is blank so it will work.

There was a funeral just down the road from us for a lady that spent many years there managing one of the units.  John and Kirley got to know her quit well so they attended.  After the ceremony they split up the ashes between everyone who was part of the ladies life and sprinkled them in the ocean.  I thought it was a great think to do in her honour.

Archie and I went for his afternoon walk while everyone sat around waiting on the sunset.  We hope it will not be obscured by clouds again tonight.

We were not disappointed as the sun slowly dipped into the ocean almost mid way between the mainland and the island.

We spent a couple hours this evening playing some games with Wanda and Irwin.  They are always lots of fun to play games with.  We went past La Penita midnight (9pm) so went home tired out.  Good Nite!!

A Trip to PV

WHERE ARE WE? La Penita, Nayarit, Mexico

Julie and Brad were up early this morning doing the final fasten down of the cover on their trailer.  They spent the night in it last night.  They have a flight back home to Vancouver Island but will be back this November.   She you then!!!

Next it was goodbyes for Ken and Rhonda.  We are taking them to the hotel in PV where they will stay before flying out tomorrow back to Saskatchewan.  

We got them to PV in good time and they got all registered at the Holiday Inn Express.  

Everybody was hungry so we headed out to find a restaurant for lupper.  We found one way down by Costco that looked good.  It was early afternoon so there was no one in the place.  We got good service and great food so we left with our bellies full!!

We said our goodbyes and off we went.  We made a quick stop at La Comer which is a huge grocery store that has everything in it but the kitchen sink.  It is really big to walk in so I took a rest.  I happened to rest on a scooter with a basket and I thought a little about maybe I should be using one of these when my knees are bothering me.  A person doesn't want to give in to getting assistance from things like this, but why not?  You don't get any points for being the hero at this age.  I think I will grab one next time just to try to get over the guilt of using it.

La Comer is a big store

Should I or not??

We tried to hurry home to see the sunset tonight because there were no clouds on the horizon tonight, but we were too late.  Everyone said it was a great sunset.  Oh well, there is tomorrow.  Good Nite!!

Last Supper with Ken and Rhonda

WHERE ARE WE? La Penita, Nayarit, Mexico

Today Tracy and Susan wanted to check out the market in Guayabitos for a while.  It is a nice market for clothing things.  While they checked out the bargains, I went and found some taco's at a local vendor nearby.  If you haven't figured it out yet, I love taco's.

I also took a moment to have a look inside the local church.  It was quite nice.

Brad and Julie came to check out their new to them trailer.  They are going to stay overnight and leave tomorrow again.  They just want to get it all bundled up for summer.  It will stay here so the cover helps keep all the salt air off it.

Later we all sat and waited for a sunset that never showed up!!!

A friend of ours posted a picture of snow in their driveway.  They worked hard to plow themselves out I think.

Today was the last full day with our friends Ken and Rhonda so we planned to do supper together at their house.  Sue made a batch of Alfredo which we all enjoyed.  We played some games after before going to bed.  We will miss them when they head back home tomorrow.

We have enjoyed their company this winter and look forward to seeing them again next season. Good Nite!!

Sunday, Sunday!

WHERE ARE WE? La Penita, Nayarit, Mexico

Today is Sunday AGAIN and it is my official have Birria day today. Tracey accompanied me to my favourite street vendor to try some.  She has not had any yet.  I think she liked it.  I sure did.

Not much else happened today except we ate Chinese for supper with Ken and Rhonda and then played a few games of cards.  They are always so much fun to play with and we heckle each other lots.  They will be leaving in a couple days and we will miss them lots.

Ken gets the loser sign!!!

Any one guess what show we watched tonight?  Yup its a series and we have watched it all up to the current episodes.

And I think Archie is happy being able to curl up with mom on the couch.  Good Nite!!!
