It was a much better day
We knew that the painters would be late ( as usual ) so went for our morning walk. So glad that we had the camera with us.
We and this bunch of the horses were the only things we saw on the beach this morning. That is a foal on the right.
For the first time ever in all the years we have seen this fellow he stopped the wagon and the horses. He was asking Colin where our dogs where. I guess that he has been wondering the past year but today the conditions were right for him to stop. Very sweet of him. He wanted to know if we were going to get more.
These two took advantage of the stop to chow down.
And off they went. Yes they are thin.
We did just over three miles round trip and on the way back we kept finding peanuts and twigs along the beach. All off the horse cart. I can only assume that he gets some of his feed from the peanut farm here on the Isla.
So the painters eventually did arrive. We were shut out of the RV for a bit as they did their thing as the door was taped off. Actually today it was only the main fellow and his very young son who came. I think today was a school holiday as we saw many young ones on the beach. Colin gave the kid a guitar to play with for a bit which kept him happily occupied. They will be back yet again tomorrow 🙄
In answer to a comment left on my last post, yes we we do need our generator heading North. The first night we are dry camping ( and it is so very hot that we need to run the generator to run the AC to cool us off ) and the second night even thought we are in an RV park here in Mexico we do not plug in due to faulty electricity. Then once we cross into the US we do not stay in an RV park until Lake Havasu. Plus it will be at least 70% cheaper to get the generator radiator rebuilt here in Mazatlan. North of the border parts will have to ordered and that will take weeks if not longer and so on.
There was some great news today. A couple have been found who are ‘honored’ to bring down our skylight. They actually had to have someone fly down with a part they needed years ago so they get it. So I ordered the part and it will get to them in about a week with enough time to arrive before they head South out of California 😀
It almost looked like this was going to be the best shot of the sunset.
But it turned out to be a very special end to the day.

Love the morning beach walks and watching the horses. Nice that you will be able to get you part for the skylight.
It is almost a miracle that I actually found the exact part and then that we were able to find someone to bring it across the Mexican border. I am spending more time inside on the computer that is healthy.
How very sweet of the fellow to inquire about the dogs. People notice even if we think they don’t.
Wonderful news about the skylight!!!!
I’m glad it was a much better day for you folks.
Yes we were touched at his comments. It was a much better day.
Great news that you found someone to bring your skylight! And so very sweet of the horse guy to ask about the girls 🙂
We were touched that he asked about the girls but he also wanted to know if we were going to get more dogs and why not right away. the skylight was shipped today!!! Yeah.
