Market day in san carlos




well STeve and I came without the kids to market by panga, bought all kinds of good fruit and veggies real cheap. 20lbs for 350 pesos ($3.50usd) good deal, eh! we are now anchored of the sand dunes, and Steve and Robert has started the engine job. Us women and the kids hiked on the beach yesterday and Maya found a big sand dollar. we gathered what wood we could find - kyle is good at that and tonight we plan on having a bon fire, gonna roast some wiennies and marshmellows. I think we will be here until Monday and then head towards Coba San Lucas. Here are some more photos of where we are anchored and us getting diesel fuel on the boat by panga, the port captain brought it for us. very clean fuel, but we still used our Baja filter . We had a little bit of rain the other morning. a welcome as it helps get the salt off the boat. Don´t have much time on this computer. will send a bigger update via mom. take care all. enjoy the photos. We had 3 of the village girls come aboard our boat for a visit. they are the poorest family in mag bay and our kids have become very good friends. they have never been on a boat before and boy did they love it. never saw a keyboard either and had a blast playing it. the older girl Lapunita quite likes Kyle . they are the same age! it was very cute!! Emma gave the youngest, Mahia (2yrs old) 2 of here dolls and she loved them, she didn´t comea aboard and cried cause she could. too small. very cute. Maya gave away about 10 stuffies to all the kids and they loved them!! I am very proud of my children for sharing their stuff. Kyle donated alot of things to the school.
