I hope you enjoy this. We got together with a few of the neighbors and laid down these tracks. Actually this may be he last story I get to make up this year. After all there’s only a few hours left.
Our party here in Stone Island starts at 8:30 tonight when we get together with 30 or 40 of our new closest friends at Benji’s Pizza out on the beach. Pizza at about 9, appetizers closer to midnight all for 1500 pesos each(about $12). Beer is 150 pesos(1.20),
They don’t sell wine so Mar will have to bring her own vino tinto. It’s your typical Mexican beach restaurant, palapa roof, with sand under foot. Plastic tables and chairs with table cloths older than our kids. It’ll just be us and the local farm animals (that could happen….chickens quite often wander through) and there will probably be a few Gecko and Iguana. We’ll have a fire on the beach, sing few songs and maybe I’ll get a chance for one last little tale.
I was going to make some new resolutions but when you figure I’ve been making them for about 60 years I must be almost perfect by now. Marilyn may think different.
We are having a great year, and hope it’s all good for you and yours.
From Marilyn and I, Buster and Angel:
Feliz Ano Neuvo
Thanks for reading me and may your 2010 be even better than all the ones so far.
I follow a website called Geeks On Tour and from there learn a lot about Picasa. Here’s my first attempt at a collage. I told you about Heathers and Truly Tina the other day. Here’s all the pictures together. Were you there? If you were you should be in here somewhere.
Remember way back, when we got that flat tire? Yesterdays project was to get the flat fixed. So we hitched up the dogs, left the comforts of Stone Island to find a llanterra (tire shop). In less than 15 minutes he had patched the flat (not with a plug, he patched it), remounted it where it once was and put the spare back under the truck. Total cost, 50 pesos. At todays exchange rate that’s $4.18.
Back to the photo for a second. See the 2 tires set up next to the highway? That’s the sign for his business. In Mexico, where ever you see the tires set up like that near the road, you are at a Llanterra.
As you can see, we had a good shot of rain. It’s all gone now, yesterday afternoon we were back to sunshine, but I bet we will have mud for a few days.
Next to the tire shop is a restaurant. We were early, she wasn’t ready but she was willing to prepare what ever we wanted.
These buildings are pure crap, but somehow I see beauty in them. Boy could they tell stories.
Another Day, Another Party!
Tom & Ginger celebrated their 25th anniversary yesterday, so we had a little get together. Everybody brought an appetizer. It got better than this, but here’s the table.
How’s this for a sunset?
That’s the lighthouse at the entrance to the harbor on the hill to the left, then the lights of Mazatlan.
