Well I can’t say that we’ve been lazy, although when you look at the last time that I brought everything up to date you might think so, but when I look back on all we’ve done, we have been on the go. Sol, Keith, and Louise have been hitting the ball every morning while playing water volleyball, Lou and Carol have been up to the pool for exercise classes and water aerobics when possible, and me….I’ve been reallllyyy busy. We’ve walked the mile or so into La Penita for breakfast (with sidewalk entertainment)

or lunch, and we’ve walked in for the Thursday morning market.
On one morning Louise and I took a different route into town and found this cemetery that was located right on the opposite side of the hill from the campground. It is also located at water’s edge. As we walked out onto the beach we were amazed at how many tombs have been lost or just about lost to the on-coming storms.
By the looks of it, the loss has been going on for some time and it isn’t about ready to stop. It’s unfortunate for the families, now they have a double loss. La Penita isn’t a very wealthy town so with the monies that they have it doesn’t allow for this cemetery to get much attention or care. On the other-side, they do love the paint colors they use on their “casa’s”.
The six of us also decided to charter a day’s outing with one of the local fishermen/tour-guides.
Our day was to give us a couple of hours fishing, whale watching, and another couple of hours of snorkeling.
We did see a lot of water and shoreline while riding around, one whale spouting off in the distance,
and with the waves hitting the shoreline so hard we didn’t see much while snorkeling. Oh well, we enjoyed the day anyway. Fact is we’re enjoying each and everyone of them as they come by. We’ve had movie night with pizza, taco and margarita Mondays, and some things and events that I just can’t mention any more about…
