OMG! I can't believe I have been so sorrowfully tardy with my blog (I'm pretending to be Anne Shirley - haha). My last post was just before the music night in Lo de Marcos. This was another fund raiser for the Amigos de Lo de Marcos - and what a night of music it was!
 |
| These three were fantastic!!! |
 |
| . . . and then more jamming . . . just great! |
 |
| If Arturo hadn't bought that 3rd bottle of wine . . . . ;( |
... then the next fund raiser we attended a few days later was for the secundaria school (junior high) in Lo de Marcos. We had a wonderful Mexican buffet, put on by the parents of the students at the school, and then we enjoyed a night of entertainment from the students - they sang, they danced - it was fun! Another evening spent with good food, entertainment and company!
 |
| Tamales, Chilis Rellano, spicy peppers, chicken tostada . . . yum, yum! |
 |
| Lots of gringos in attendance |
 |
| Students dancing |
We are counting down the days until we begin our treck north. The four couples who started this journey together back in November at Organ Pipe National Monument, headed for a day in Puerto Vallarta along the Malecon . . . touristy, but fun . . .
Here are some photos of the beautiful statues along the PV Malecon . . .

On February 22nd, it was time to leave and head north.
We left with our new friends from Saskatoon, Craig and Denise, and headed through San Blas to Teacapan (Villa Onac) . . . what a beautiful park right on the beach - and I mean
right on the beach.

We met up with some past friends there, who just happened to have friends for Kipper to play with. Dick and Mary are from Colorado - and we we so happy to connect with them again. They have a new dog, Lola the Labradoodle - and Lola and Kipper had a great time on the beach.

The area around Teacapan is very agricultural - huge fields of tomatoes and peppers. The peppers are harvested, and then smoked - creating that Chipotle flavor that we have come to love - a very labor intensive farming and we see many field workers on the farms, and many "camps" in the area where they live. It's also very flat here so I can't even imagine what might happen if a tsunami hit this area - there's no where to go to get to higher ground!
