I just want to let you all know that I really do think about you all. However at the moment we are super busy ( when aren’t I )? Right now I need to think about my family and our future. Things are changing very very slowly – but in a forward direction. \u00a0There will be light at the end of this long dark tunnel\u00a0\ud83d\udca1<\/p>\n

Colin continues to progress almost weekly. He is beginning to see changes more often. Two days ago he started to get some feeling in his large right toe \ud83d\ude00 Last week Sophia, his physiotherapist noticed how the tendons on the top of his foot are starting to form and grow. Colin exercises for many hours every single day. He is constantly inventing new methods to strength his right leg. He truly pushes himself and it is starting to show day by day.<\/p>\n

We have made the decision to sell our beloved RV. It is not in our future to keep RVing. In about five or six months we will be making a change in our address for at least a year or two. We have not had much free time to find the perfect location but this place is calling to us. Still in negotiations.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Fingers crossed that this unit ( marked in red ) will work out for us.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

The second largest mercardo in Mazatlan is less than 2 blocks away, we can see Centro which is only a 1.5 km walk away. Plus we see where the cruise ships dock. And the pelicans fly past at eye level.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We love where we live and day by day and enjoy all that the ocean presents to us. Be it dolphins, sail boats coming and going every few days and these small fish – moving very quickly thru the water – almost like they were walking on the water.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

The\u00a0girls continue to be enthralled with our resident iguanas. I love how they just observe so very silently, hour after hour.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

This is the largest of them.<\/p><\/div>\n

I was doing the math the other day and we have been living here on the Isla de la Piedra every winter – \u00a0now a total of 16 years. Of course longer each of the past few years. But 16 years !!! \u00a0I know of two ( perhaps 3 ) other RV couples who have lived here a year longer than us. Had Colin not had the stroke we would still be RVing but at this time we must make certain required changes to our lifestyle. Sixteen years is a very longtime to devote to a particular area in Mexico. We have given in so many areas including promoting the RV Park to encourage others to visit here ( especially when traveling here was not the thing to do ), to providing a variety of forms of music to this area and even feeding those in need during COVID. It is difficult to make the decision to move into the city of Mazatlan but we are ready for new adventures.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Looks like something tasted ready good.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Mamma and baby??? Referring to the iguanas!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

From the back bathroom window.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

A better effort another evening……<\/p><\/div>\n
