Colin went into Mazatlan to get veggies and on the way back he got this photo from the launcha, that is us, two over from the yellow house ( left ).<\/p><\/div>\n

Working on the palapa in the dark!<\/p><\/div>\n

We are still waiting for the final supports for our palapa to be installed. Of course we paid in full so we are at the mercy of the builder. We did delay him a few days as we were worn out and just needed quiet time. He never showed up today\u00a0\ud83d\ude2f \u00a0Possibly man\u00e3na. It will happen when it does. We have really enjoyed our last few quiet days. The last six months have been an unsettling time and we are here to rebuild.<\/p>\n

The girls are ever so happy. They have a variety of sunny or shady locations to relax in. Usually each photo I take is cropped so that various parts are enlarged. Right now I am only taking photos with my iPhone and what you see is all there is. I have no time at the moment to do any more, I think you would rather have some photos than none.<\/p><\/div>\n

Colin purchased an outdoor security camera. It works very well. Nice to have.<\/p><\/div>\n

Monday I woke up with lots of energy and was eager to head to the beach. Ouch! Did I break my toe? It really hurts. Haven’t walked for a few days but can hobble and today I think that it has begun to slowly heal. I can move it just a tiny bit.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

OUCH!! Sorry for the yucky looking toes.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

So much bruising and swelling.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Early yesterday morning Ciela alerted me to an oyster diver just below us. How fun.<\/p><\/div>\n

It was cooler last night with much lower humidity. For the first time since we got here we shut off the air conditioners. So nice to sleep with the windows open and no electrical noise.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Over an hour this morning, the sky became dark with clouds and we heard loud thunder. Then the rain began.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Id did not take long for the open area to get muddy. Thank goodness we got pea gravel.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Cruise ship last night. Unless I look up the cruise ship schedule we have no idea if there will be a ship.They glide into and out of port ever so quietly. I have to add that they are simply stunning up close.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Good morning sunshine.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Colin on the beach with the girls a few days ago. Carlie loves swimming in the big waves.<\/p><\/div>\n

This was a Mexican long weekend, Revolution Day. Many visitors to the Isla. This photo would look 100% better cropped.<\/p><\/div>\n

We woke up this morning to a coolish breeze and left the windows open all day.<\/p>\n

Later this afternoon three sets of strangers dropped in. All very interested in renting an RV site. Only one person was serious but she wanted to build a container home. I explained that we are only leasing year by year – but likely for 3-4 years at this point.<\/p>\n

I finally had my massage yesterday. Wow, I had no idea how badly I needed it.<\/p>\n

So as to the the TWIST\u00a0\u2757 \u00a0\u2757\u00a0 I have heard ( first hand I might add ) that the people who were to take over our site at Tres Amigos RV Park, yes the ones for whom we were asked to vacate our site for one year, have been a no show\u00a0\ud83d\ude25\u00a0 So we were asked to leave for no shows\u00a0\ud83d\ude33 \u00a0We have only been here for two weeks. We were not asked if we would like to return, despite being there since 2009. No one in the second, third or fourth row sites in either park, were asked if they wanted a front row site – as has been the norm for many years due to seniority requests. Instead our site was offered to first timers ( never been here before ) who just happened to drive into the RV park\u00a0\ud83d\ude2e \u00a0What can I say? Thank goodness this new site was made available to us. So much peace, quiet and tranquility. No stress. We truly love it here.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Thank goodness Colin’s restaurant allows substitutions. However I love broccoli as well as asparagus.<\/p><\/div>\n

A smaller more intimate Disney ship tonight. They actually played ” When you wish Upon a Star” as they passed us.<\/p><\/div>\n
