While Our Home State Is Getting

Snow drifts we are getting sand drifts.....would way rather have the sand drifts. It has been very windy here and the sand piles up on the street and sidewalks. It is quite the process to shovel it into either pails or wheel barrows and truck it, by hand, back to the beach which is only steps away.....ahhhhhh only in Mexico huh?

And of course we always need to get our pool fix. This is at a favorite little bar called Miguel's Moonlight Bar. It happens to be one of the only places with a pool table. Both Lenny and David play on a league back home so need to keep their skills 'honed' however last year they came back shooting crooked because the pool tables and the cues are all crooked and curved down here....too funny.



Kel, David and I on the newly installed swings at Miguel's.


Hey Jess and cousin....the bar is waiting for you on the beach. Lots of empty chairs!

A day on the windy side of the island on the rocks.




This young lad was on the beach one day doing acrobats....man he was good.

I know the sign does not say this but I imagine it saying, "This is my turf thank you".

Hey Lenny has his own boat here. Wonder if he could make enough money to support David and I?

The houses of the islanders. some in shacks in their own little town and others not so bad.

A face only a mother could love.

So today, Monday I think, is our first day alone on the island in years. We have always had someone traveling with us and have always enjoyed the company. Lenny and Kelly left yesterday. Last night we found ourselves wandering around with not much to do. No one to play cards with no one to shoot pool with......so home we went to read. And during the night in blew an 'El Norte' and today it is quite cold with the wind coming from the north. So here I am spending an hour or so blogging and David is back at the hotel reading. It is much too windy to sit on the north beach so today we will walk around town and perhaps venture to the navy store. You would not believe the naval base on this island, it is huge and they are rebuilding it......the islanders live in shacks but the naval base is beautiful....go figure that huh?
