Stay positive my friends

     We wish to extend our sympathy on the passing of a long time friend, colleague and neighbour, Shirra Main.  Doug and kids we are thinking of you at this very sad time.
     Lisabeth, our address is http://holoidaysonholiday.blogspot.com for Peter and Sharon.  We probably won´t be back in the States until near the beginning of March but we don´t know what way we are going home.  We would like to see you but we´ll have to play it by ear.
     Vicki, we heard your shrimp boat sank.  Was it time to go?  Thank goodness you weren´t on it.  How´s the course going?
     We´ve been having nice warm, sunny days here but we have decided to move on south on Thursday.  Even I am becoming suseptible to the bug bites and sit scratching most of the time I´m inactive. 
     Yesterday, Mike and Dave went to a ball game and Dave played a little bit for the Teacapan team.  Mike enjoyed himself from the stands, sharing buckets of local beverages with the fans, etc.  Weaver and I stayed home and vacuumed, and did a little bit of laundry, and walked on the beach-our favourite passtime.
     Today was an interesting start to this day.  At 10 am we went to the local boarding school.  It is a grade 7-9 school with students coming from as far as Mazatlan and Gaudalajara.  This event was to welcom some students from Virginia City, Nevada who are on exchange with this school.  The whole thing was in Spanish with a few girls speaking English to the students who were visiting.  We could have sworn that Magic (Brendan) was in that group.  When I get my photos downloaded, we´ll send some photos.  We were entertained by the students with a folk dance, a cheerleading routine, and music by very talented guitarists, an accordianist and a little guy who could sure belt out a tune.  It was a good time.
     Well it´s time to go and take the dog for a walk.

Hasta luego muchachos,
Mave n Mike
