What's Up....

Que Pasa?  How goes it?  What's up?  All good questions.  The good news is that summer has finally arrived in winter!  The cool temperatures, clouds and wind have failed to make an appearance for the last four days....but it suddenly seems that it's always been this way.  Ah, what tricks memory plays!

So now to answer the question.  Monday and Wednesday nights we go up to the restaurants on the road and watch Oscar nominated movies.  The best so far, in my opinion, "Trumbo."  But it's always a lively evening of dinner and conversation.  Steve is keeping a three day a week yoga schedule.  Whew! At least once a week will find us at a Spanish lesson with Lily, our new teacher. 

We are so happy Lily has taken us on as students!  Lily grew up in Mexico City, but has lived in Baja for 20 years.  She is prepared with songs to play for us and we listen and write every word we recognize.  Then she explains the songs, many with a mini history lesson from Spanish speaking country.  

This day we meet at Armondo's palapa restaurant on Santispac beach. 

There are a few art classes here and there.  Here's our teacher, Lynn spreading inspiration while Jerri works on her kelp pouch.  When the sea kelp dries, it looks just like leather.

Instructor Lynn is a retired art teacher from The Oregn coast.  She brings gourds, bags of kelp, pine needles, and rolls of sea grass for projects ranging from decorative gourds and kelp pouches, to baskets of all sizes.  

How to resist  the "Juice Man" (Julio) and his wife as they come by to squeeze fresh tangerines and oranges...or pineapples, or carrots from the mobile kitchen.

I can just hear you asking...how does he squeeze the carrots and pineapple?  

Yep...that's the power source!

My favorite is a tangerine and orange mix.  Who knew?

I am totally spoiled over this amazing, fresh and tasty juice, prepared at my doorstep!

Of course, ukulele happens....as we sit outside our RV....and with a bigger crowd on Wednesday and Sunday afternoons as we play with anyone who stops by Patty and Bob's RV.  Our group ranges form 2 of us (yep, happened once!) to 13 strummers this week!  

And what do you know....our first open mic night happens!  Just like that!

Lots of fun!!  And the best part....there are a few more Friday nights left in the season!!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

The kayaks and SUP boards are ready and waiting.   The "flat water" mornings pull us to the shore....

Sparky is getting pretty good at the SUP board.  Sometimes he's on the board before Steve has his paddle.

A paddle across Coyote Bay takes you to Isla Coyote for a little rest up...and then another mile paddle back.  

I'm still experimenting with the birthday art supplies....

Oh, there are many hum drum things going on too...you know, fill the hummingbird feeders, go to town for the Banco and groceries, drinking water and propane.  There is the not so fun chore of emptying the black water tank, and then there is the repositioning of the rig when our neighbors leave...which results in a week with no internet...and lots of fiddling with the system to try to discover why it cannot find our satellite, high in the sky, when the new rig position is all of 5 feet to the left?  We are now up and running, after help from a retired gringo from town...(referred by our Spanish teacher).... Who, hails from, Washington in the summer!

There's more to Que Pasa...but that's for the next post.

Hasta luego!
