Benos Dias!!



GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!!
We went to a jam night for the cruisers on Wed. Steve was up there playing away, there were 2 other harmonica players as well and even had Steve and one of them playing together. that sounded neat . one of our friends ( Dorthy Marie- and the palapa bar crashers from previous post) plays the tenor sax and boy he sounds great!!
Look at the price of Burger King food!! that's why we can't afford to eat out! actually that is in pesos, but isn't it a shocker at first! makes shopping a little confusing sometimes.
Well we have been busy plugging away on our boat and the cruiser life. Everything takes longer to do ( shopping ,laundry, ect) lots of walking- good for the hips!! The kids have managed to find all kinds of other kids to hang with........ this is great!! Steve has go the watermaker working 100% so we can make 25 gallons /hr. this is also great!! I guess you could say life is great!!
We walked up to the fiesta the other night with other cruisers, and checked out the festivities. I ended up buy for $10 pesos ( that's $1.00 usd) a picture of "Ruby" Miss Carnaval 2008- don't how this happened but I got it . Steve laughed at me. anyhow it was a great time. Maya bought a lovely necklace from one of the street vendors with her own money and Emma bought a dream catcher necklace from one also. We have had lots of connections on the dock and Orca III is forever having people dropping by. I like that.Maya has managed to borrow some books from a friend and both her and Kyle are busy reading away before we have to give them back.... This is the biggest challenge - keeping ahead of Maya and Kyles reading , they are reading so fast and so much.... They have a great book swap here and I got myself some dandies. A couple I think Kyle will also like.
We had a great game of Oh Hell in the cockpit last night with the crew from Malachi. It was Marg's b'day - good fun to play again, has been a while for that game. Steve won with Jay close second and me right behind - we had a full six players! Hey Jocy, we know another Jocelyn. Malachi's oldest daughter has the same name!! cool, eh?!
We had an overcast day yesterday and today is back to gorgeous sun! I do miss some rain though, strange as that my sound.
the last trivia question, Danny Lou got right _ "the Cove of the Dead" ( Ensenada de Los Meurtos)

Good Morning Group!

Anwer to Trivia Question (with thanks to Google):

La Paz experiences a condition they have affectionately nick-named the "La Paz Waltz" (also referred to as the La Paz shuffle). This is when the currents and winds are not going in the same direction, thereby causing the boats to swing in all different directions.

Now that seems like something to behold!! Never mind how it must feel when you are on a boat! Has it happened to you guys yet??

What a busy bunch you've been, nice photo of Steve playing the harmonica, you all are soooo tanned and healthy looking!

Enjoy your shopping, nice that you can use a car.

Love Always,
Mom (in-law) & GMa XOXOX
