A quiet day on the Isla!

Very quiet here today.  Two couples have got in for the Sunday afternoon symphony featuring Bach.   Not only is Colin gone but our friends from Vernon have moved into Mazatlan Centro.  She has had a challenge with the wind and the colder days and after a few days in hospital with bronchitis and a touch of pneumonia they decided to move somewhat inland:) while she recuperates.  Their RV is still here for them to enjoy every now and then, kind of like a beach cabin!  We had a USA 38′ motorhome come in to stay for a month, so our front row is full.

I have been sneezing the last 2 days so this morning I moved my chair into our back yard out of the ocean breeze.

My first time doing this and I really liked it. Good place to read and enjoy coffee.

My sitting view to the right.....

...and my straight ahead view, still of the ocean but wind free.

Colin is having a great time in Culiacan, staying up till 3 AM everyday playing guitar and chatting.  He always comes back with a huge Spanish vocabulary.

The girls and I just finished the big beach walk, they are sleeping and I am hungry so time for lunch and being as it is Sunday I shall treat myself to a glass of vino blanco.

I leave you with the promise of last nights' sunset.....

...which fizzled into a low bank of clouds. Not every night is perfect so you have to keep an eye out not to miss the spectacular ones.

    Your plants/flowers are beautiful, one of the benefits of staying in one place for a few months.

    The concert was fantastic, did you know you can watch the whole thing on: http://www.culturamazatlan.com/culturatv/ I think it stays there until the next performance and then the same link for the next one. They added a 5 pm concert next Sunday since the other one sold out.

    I’m going to go pour a glass of vino tinto, here’s a “salud” to you.

    Love your view – your landscaping is so pretty! What happens when you leave there – I mean with all your plants – does someone take care of them for you? Funny thing, I’m in snowy PA enjoying your beach view, listening to the concert, thanks to Nancy, and having some Shade Mountain wine from our local winery. Life is good!

    Very nice your photographics; congratlations. Contessa: we loves you because you are a great woman and a great singer in “Las Margaritas” (famous in all the wolrd artists).
    Colin was here practising the guitar many hours a day, and other activities as learn spanish and teach English to my wife and me. Colin is my Compadre and the greatest Macho Man in Sinaloa.
    Tomorrow he will travel to Isla de la Piedra in the morning; and, later, you will be happy because your lover will be with you.
    Isala, Chris and me will definitly be in Isla de Piedra for four days (three nigths) in a rent house Jazmin in february 18.

    Sounds like you are hanging in there just going with the flow. Have to do that sometimes. Photos are very good. Plants are looking beautiful.
