People Come, People Go...

What's new on Coyote Beach this week?  People come and people go.  The French family is here for 10 days or so, with three darling kids, but are now headed north on their way to Florida and then Montreal and then Paris.  However, first to celebrate the oldest daughter's birthday on the beach.  Since they are nomads this year of travel, mom borrowed used a RV oven, baked a cake, cut it into tiny pieces, and they travel the beach, stopping at each campsite with birthday cake.  Of course the 7 year old also raked in a few presents from generous campers all missing their grandchildren at home!  Her mother had told her in advance, since her sister's birthday was celebrated at a remote camp spot, (high in the mountains) she had to share all her gifts with her!  I'm betting the pink poodle purse is a hard time share.  We broke out the ukes for a rousing Happy Birthday song....but fail at the French!

Saying goodbye

Ohhhh, love at first sight!

Elan....quite the young man!

Hip, Hap, Hop, Happy Birthday!

Yum!

Our Sundays begin with breakfast "out" at Bertha's Cafe on the beach.  65 pesos ($5.00) gets you a nice meal and starts the day.  This Sunday we continued on with a great music jam on the beach, ukulele players and three guitars today.

Hot cakes and eggs.....Americano

Lots of folks today

This year we bring a few ukes to try and pass on the magic of uke to others....and we sell two of the three... the other is being played by another new convert!  Yikes!

This week the farmer from the orange grove up the valley came out to the beach.  We buy all these oranges and tangerines for about $2.00.

And of course, our rug vendor, Manuel, returns with more pillow encasements.  Ok, so I mentioned last week,

I'd probably buy "just one more."  What colors!  What choices!  Let me know if anyone wants me to bring one home for them!

Mi casa is really looking "Mexican"

There are some nice flat water mornings for the paddle board and Steve gets a chance to try out the Go Pro mount on his board.

Perfect fit

Now for the subjects to appear....

So that's how the week goes...oh, and John and Deb arrived too.  People come, people go...the boats and boards go in and out, the vendors come and leave with less, the days pass by with morn and eve....wind and wave, flat and quiet, sun and cloud....Baja.
