First Post....from Mike

The First Post

A new author on the beach in Lo De Marcos.

Hola and hello from the beach and RV park in Lo De Marcos.  The better half is out shopping for vegges for supper and left me in charge of the blog.  You will have to excuse the grammer but thank goodness for these things called spell checkers.  As you can see from the picture above (and below) the beach and the weather is quite nice for this time of year although the ocean water has cooled down quite a bit from when we were first here. 

The former author but still smiling.

There probably won't be a great amount of text in this write up but I will include quite a few pictures because if you're like me, I like to look at pictures.

Looking over the 4th hole.

To the left is a picture of the golf course at the Field of Dreams which is seven km to the north of Lo De Marcos.  We have bought memberships for 4 months and golf 3-4 times a week.  A Can-Am (The cactus cup) was held last week on Dec 13 and the better team (us not them) came up on top.  You can see our picture on the Jaltembasol website.

We also have neighbours who visit us on a regular basis although they normally stay outside the gate.  Apparently, one of the neighbours came in two weeks ago and was enjoying the grass before he (a horse) was asked to leave by Walter.

Some of the neighbours.

Mavis, Bev and Ruby spent the better part of a day sewing pillow for the Cancer de Mama clinic held at La Penita RV park in February for Mexican women who have have breast cancer.  The pillows are used under the arms to relieve some of the pressure and hopefully, make movement a lot easier.

Ruby and Bev, hard at work.

On December 13, the author hit a milestone-60 years young.  The Canucks won the Cactus Cup at the Field of Dreams. and we celebrated with a dinner at Salvadors at the beach in Rincon de Guayabitos.  The company was great, the food was great, the cerveza was great, and thanks to all for the celebration.  There were two birthdays, mine and Carol's (who is way younger than me).  The staff at the resturant made a special dinner.  You have to see the pictures to believe what they did, and yes, I did eat my vegetables.  They were carrots.

Great presentation....made from carrots.

Self explanitory.

Just a few more pictures of some of the wildlife around here.  Time to go to the beach.  The one with the camera out the window is taking pictures of hummers.  They had one in their rig 3 weeks ago and took a video of the bird.  Its on their blog-http://southbound canucks.blogspot.com

One of many.

And last but not least, the Christmas wreath we have on Dos along with Hobo.  We hope to have another blog before Christmas, but if not, Merry Christmas to all and have a restful and wonderful break. 

Merry Christmas from Hobo.
