Hola Amigos!
We have had a great week...it is always fun when we have guests. Oh, the places you'll go and the things you'll see! Well, we've mostly seen them before, but it is fun seeing them through the eyes of a new guest! Our niece Chrys took a quick break from work; she came on Thursday and is leaving today, but she knew how to take advantage of her short time. I showed her the way to the beach on Thursday, and she's been down there several times a day since! She has taken serious walks; once all the way to Rancho Leonero and back (about 6 or 7 miles total). It is rather rare seeing someone walking the beach in some of that area, since it is rather remote! Several people going by on ATV's checked with her to make sure she was OK! She spotted Flat Top butte on her hike and said to herself she'd like to climb up that hill, so Ben took her yesterday. Here's the view from there, showing where she had hiked on Sunday!
Rancho Leonero is in the extreme right in the photo above.
And....our house is there at the extreme left of the bay. Just a bit of a hike!
She also got out in our kayak and had a fun time doing that before it got too windy. She tried it again yesterday, but said the big swells were a bit disconcerting! We had a very windy day on Sunday; kind of a last hurrah for winter winds! At least the sail boarders were happy! And on her walk this morning, she said the water was perfect for kayaking... she just couldn't haul it down to the water by herself. :-(
Also in town this week is our friend Sharon from Canada. We never know who will show up in town, or when, but it is always a pleasant surprise when old friends arrive! We had her over for dinner so we could catch up on all the things going on in her life in the wilderness of Ontario! She house and dog sat for us once when our old dog Max was still kicking, and we took a trip somewhere or the other...
Speaking of our house, I showed Chrys where we used to live in Vista del Mar, and it has changed a bit! The owners had the place torn down so it will probably be easier to sell. Hard to imagine our little casita here now! But yes, we lived in that little dirt patch!
Ryan is still in San Diego doing a remodel project for a friend. He says it is going well, and he is enjoying time with his friend.
OK.... I've got to get ready to take Chrys to the airport. Our dogs have really appreciated having her here because she took over Ryan's dog petting duties. They'll hate to see her leave! Ben is off on another trip to La Paz this morning. Hope you all had a great St. Patrick's day, if you are Irish or if you celebrate it! It was also an official Mexican holiday yesterday; Benito Juarez day. He served as President of Mexico for 5 terms in the 1800's. (That's your Mexican history lesson for the day!)
More photos are posted in our March 2014 Picasa album. You can check out my quilt progress and garden progress!
Hasta la proxima semana,
Tus amigos de Baja,
Harriet, Ben, Sam & Zoey
