Hola Amigos,
The last two weeks has just zoomed by as we've been busy visiting with friends here from Oregon. George and Carolyn came last Monday, and we've made an overnight trip to La Paz, enjoyed the Lord of the Winds competition here in Los Barriles, made some road trips to see the local sights, and eaten some wonderful meals.
This is a shot Ben took at the Lord of the Winds meet. They saw some very impressive maneuvers!
We've got a few more things to do today, and they are reluctantly heading back to rainy Oregon manana. When we visited La Paz, they went out in the bay on a panga to swim with the whale sharks, which was a very exciting experience for them (they are certified divers, but you just need snorkel gear for this trip). I stole a couple of their photos to show you...
Ben & I, who are wimps, decided to do errands around La Paz while they had their fun!
We had a special dinner at El Barrilito the night they arrived, and invited lots of friends (there were about 25 of us)....because, "sob", our favorite restaurant will be closing any day now. The owner, Francisco, has some serious eye problems and will be moving to the states for some surgery, and hopes to start a restaurant up there. We will certainly miss him! Best seafood around, bar none!! (That's Francisco in the background fixing us a delicious appetizer.)
And then we went to El Barrilito another night and found these critters in the back of a pickup parked out front! Never know what you'll find in a pickup here in the neighborhood!
We take advantage of George while he's here, because he's our "go to Computer fix-it guy". He worked on both of our computers (he says I need a new one if I want it faster ;-) ) and they are both working much better. Ben isn't grumbling near as much over his PC now!
On our touring drive yesterday, we went up the San Dionisio Canyon to see the sights. We like to stop at this spot where we can get down to the stream and see the huge fig trees... and rocks!
Then, when we were driving back out of the canyon, I heard a piercing cry, and spotted this guy flying along above us. He landed in this tree, and I was able to get a few shots of him before he took off again. We think it's an eagle or maybe a hawk. Any other guesses?
More photos are in our January 2016 Picasa album.
Our next guests are arriving this Saturday! More adventures to follow.
Hasta la proxima vez,
Harriet, Ben, Ryan, Sam & Zoey
