Hola Amigos!
Feliz Año, as they say here in Mexico. We hope you haven't tossed aside your resolution to come visit us in Baja. Actually, next Monday we will have our second set of company for the season; our friends George and Carolyn hope to swim with the Whale Sharks in La Paz and enjoy our sunshine. Then we have three more sets of company coming in January, February and March! Still "space available", if you'd like to spend some time here.
Speaking of "space available", Ben got a really sweet deal for displaying his '28 Martin Parry at an upscale resort in Cabo San Lucas. Check out this link for a short explanation: New Year's Eve Party We're hoping to take advantage of the offer in February, since they're full up in January (our anniversary month).
With the start of the new year, it seems like I have lots of things scheduled weekly, mostly to do with music, so I guess that's not a bad thing! At least it's something I enjoy...playing the piano for choirs and teaching piano to an enthusiastic 10 year old! I've also FINALLY started sewing on my quilt project again. When I had bronchitis I just didn't feel like sewing, so I put it off. Well, the baby was born in Guadalajara in late December, so that urged me on a bit! It is VERY colorful and as Ben says "busy"! The pattern is called "Belize", so I felt free to put in a lot of bright colors. The hardest part about this quilt may be the process of getting it to my friend in Guadalajara! The mail system isn't the most reliable in Mexico!

While our popular car was partying in Cabo San Lucas, Ben and I spent a quiet evening at home, eating smoked ribs with friends who also appreciated a quiet New Year's evening.

We also have TWO new baby burros (burritos?) in the barrio. They are so cute, and it is fun having their Moms bring them by to meet us. They are so clean and fuzzy. Don't you just want to cuddle up to this sweetie?
I haven't got a decent photo of the other baby yet, but I will!
On our walk today to the beach I finally got a good picture of the ultra light plane that flies by regularly. Just gotta be in the right place at the right time!
That looks like a ton of fun!
The tide was very low this morning, and there was almost no wave action and no wind. I love days like this, but the kite boarders and wind surfers are praying for lots of wind next week when Los Barriles will be hosting the 6th Annual "Lord of the Winds". Here's a link if you're interested in it. There are some pretty amazing photos in there! Lord of the Winds In the meantime, I'm enjoying days like this!
This debris on the beach is the remains of a caterpillar that got washed into the ocean during a hurricane, either in the 70's or 80's, I think. I always look for it when the tides are low. But look at those waves! What a great day to snorkel! (Yes, the water temps are just a bit coolish, but comfortable. I did stick a toe in to test it!)
A few more pics are in our 2016 January album.
Hasta la proxima vez,
Tus amigos in Baja,
Harriet, Ben, Ryan, Sam & Zoey
They are willing to share the sofa when you feel the need for a siesta!
