DAY OF MOURNING – BARB AND RON WENT HOME


Last night Barb and Ron caught the 7:00 bus back to Puerto Vallarta and eventually home to Cloverdale. We will miss them for sure. But I did take this lovely picture of them before they boarded the bus. We wished them a safe trip and then went down to Mexican Fiesta night down by the beach for our dinner.
There wasn’t much on the menu that appealed to me. It was very authentic and everyone who can do spices enjoyed it very much. There was a mariachi band and the lead singer had to be all of 5 years old and could he belt out a tune! Not always quite in key, but powerful voice and very sure of himself! As for my dinner, there is always lovely fresh salad to be had with plenty of fixinings, so I never go hungry. The dessert bar had rice pudding and churros on it and that completed our meal.

I walked into town with Linda today to get a t-shirt dress – they are only 70 pesos. I bought one yesterday and another one today. They are kinda cute. I also bought a cute little dress for Cassidy that she will be able to wear this summer and be a cute little chikita. On the way back, we walked further down towards the beach and found a breakfast place that was selling fresh squeezed orange juice – so we each had one and it was so delicious. On the beach I found a fruit seller and bought jicama for Joan – she really enjoys it. So it was something nice I could do for her after she gave me a lovely satin pillowcase for traveling so my hair doesn’t muss in the morning. She so reminds me of Debbie Reynolds.


There were some pelicans really close to me on the beach, and as some kids came running to scare them off I said “no, por favor” “une photo” I guess they understood my mixture of French and Spanish cause they stopped – I took my picture and then said ok “Vamos” which means ok go on or just go depending on the situation!

Later me amigos
