Then it was to have been published yesterday but I forgot to hit publish\u00a0\ud83d\ude33<\/p>\n

Initially this was to have been published Monday but I ran into some production issues.<\/p>\n

I saw this photo on FaceBook yesterday and made a screen capture to share with you. I really like it.<\/p>\n

What you are looking at is the entrance to the Mazatlan port. Looks to be a narrow opening but the cruise ships and large freighters get through. To the bottom left is El Faro with the lighthouse on top and to the right is Chivos Island. The green at mid right is Stone Island\/Isla de la Piedra. To the left and on top is the port and all of Mazatlan.<\/p><\/div>\n

I am not giving up posting but I have decided that I don’t need any more stress in my life. Colin has picked up making many meals, doing the dishes, cleaning, grocery shopping and walking the girls. So not fair to him but I really appreciate all that he does and he knows that I do\u00a0\ud83d\ude0e\u00a0 At the moment my priority is getting thru each day with as little stress as possible. Of course there is my daily knee exercises and on going kinesiology.<\/p>\n

Remember a few weeks ago the girls ate\/destroyed one of my bougainvilleas. \u00a0I replanted it with this one but it lost all its flowers two weeks after we planted it. We now have nice healthy flowers.<\/p><\/div>\n

I am up to my elbows in the fireworks cruise that I am organizing which is for this Saturday evening. At one point I was worried that it might not happen due to a lack of eager participants. Now I am getting new people everyday and will have to start turning folks away. This is the 125th anniversary of Carnaval here in Mazatlan and the fireworks are supposed to be incredible. I have people from Mazattan renting a van and driver to get them here and then pick them up afterwards. The cruise leaves from and returns to the Isla. Another couple who are thinking outside of the box will spend the night in a hotel here on the Isla.<\/p>\n

A sunset from a few weeks ago.<\/p><\/div>\n

The weather has been cool and often foggy during the day. We are happy with our down duvet at night. Tonight we are going down to 12C\/53F I do try and walk every two days with the girls but sometimes 3 or 4 days pass by. Once Sunday comes I should be much freer. Gosh I haven’t read a book for over a week\u00a0\ud83d\ude25<\/p>\n

The large stone that Stone Island\/Isla de la Piedra was named for.<\/p><\/div>\n

Wasn’t that a super Super Bowl yesterday. We only started watching just after half-time. We missed the half time show and will watch it soon as we taped it. And of course we have only seen 50% of those very expensive commercials, thus far! Which commercial was your favourite?<\/p>\n

Another great photo by Sue on their visit here.<\/p><\/div>\n

Colin has had to see three chiropractors in the past 9 days. We certainly hope that yesterdays treatment will fix him up!! Each has helped just a tiny bit but it has not hit the jackpot yet. Gosh he will be 73 in July and I will be 70 in May. Much much too soon for physical issues. We plan to keep working on our bodies as the best is yet to come. Egypt and another visit to Venice and who knows where else.<\/p>\n

We have had very few happy hours but are still doing out Saturday night game night.<\/p><\/div>\n

Wednesday the 15th of this month is when we have to pay our annual one month non refundable deposit for next season. This is the first time that under new management that the deposit is non refundable. Our first season here was 2009\/2010. We can’t believe that this is our 13th year here at Tres Amigos. I was only 57 and Colin 59. How fortunate we have been to be here annually except during Covid year. On April 8, 2024<\/strong> there will be a complete solar eclipse best seen right here in Mazatlan. I think that there is a great possibility that we will be here on the Isla for five full months next winter. That means we get to enjoy both Semana Santa and the eclipse.<\/p>\n

The twins have become more ‘twinning’ lately.<\/p><\/div>\n

Colin shared these with me the other day, seriously\u00a0\ud83d\ude44<\/p>\n
