Hola Amigos,
I'd say "Happy Election Day", but somehow, that doesn't seem appropriate this year. Instead, I'll just say "hang on, it will be over soon"!
We are finally getting some cooler days and nights here. We've had a few windy days, and that has brought some comfort to us all. Our friends said it cooled down because they got their new AC installed that day!! The windsurfing and kite-boarding crowds are arriving, and we watched some of them as we had our breakfast at La Playa Restaurant a few days ago. Exotikite kite school is located there, and there were some people getting ready for lessons. It isn't my cup of tea, but some folks just love it. At least the water is warm right now!!
I prefer to sit and sip my coffee and eat my breakfast under the palapa and watch the wind blow!
We've been eating most meals on our north facing veranda. We see all kinds of birds in our yard and bird feeder, but the other day, we had an interesting visitor to the feeder...a pretty green iguana. I was able to get fairly close so got some nice shots of him. I don't think he was eating any of the bird-seed, maybe just looking for insects. At least he was safe from our dogs!
The hummingbirds are back! I have three feeders set up out there that they and the Orioles and Gila Woodpeckers frequent. Of course with the hummers, they spend as much time fighting over the feeders as eating at them. Silly birds. The one below is a Costa Hummingbird with the brilliant purple crown.
I have started a November 2016 Google album that has a few more pictures. Most of the pics are captioned, and they'll either show up when you go through the individual pictures, or you can click on the "i" in the top right corner for info. I have even included some great photos of the Grandkids that Rebecca shared with us. :-)
Zoey is doing about the same. She can get around, she will attempt to chase lizards and cats (she can move fast!) but it is tough for her to walk straight on a slick tile floor! We keep seeing little bits of improvement, so we hope that she gains more mobility in time.
So far this season, we're all healthy, so that's something to celebrate! We probably eat too well, with all this fresh seafood and fruits and vegetables, but we love to suffer. Here we are after a breakfast with our friends Katie and Mel (from Sisters, dry camping at Los Frailes for about 5 months) the other day. We've got another expedition planned with them tomorrow to Cabo San Lucas, to visit more friends from the Bend, Oregon area. (And of course, a trip to Costco is in order, too!)
Hope you are all well!
Tus amigos de Baja,
Harriet, Ben, Ryan, Sam & Zoey
