Weekend Tasks

Imported the boat into Mexico and it was a breeze. They fill out all the paperwork for you, it cost $53, and is good for 10 years.

The two bars we hit last night in our search for the best margarita were much better than the night before. Our search continues....

A huge gray whale beached himself, sad. A cow went walking down our street this morning. Saw a scorpion. There are lots of lizards of all sizes where we are living and Hunter is very interested in them. The storms must have created a huge yellow butterfly hatching as dozens fly by every few seconds

Did laundry this morning so it could hang to dry all day. Mexico does not have dryer sheets since there aren't many dryers. No American laundry soaps either so it was quite a task to determine which one we think we wanted. Hung the clothes out only to have it start to rain about an hour later. Rigged a tarp over the clothesline only to discover that the drain line from the roof shoots right onto the clothesline. Who said anything in Mexico is designed logically.

    Looks like all is well. Can't wait to come and see you guys some time. I'm glad you guys are getting settled in your new home.

    Definitely moving to CDA in April. I have signed a contract so I am officially the Director of Oriental Medicine and Continuing Education at the American Institute of Clinical Massage.

It's a great looking day on the water, headed up the coast to Ensenada Grande for an overnighter Look at these cliffs!

Please Help

We are beginning the clean up process and it will be long and difficult. But everyone (even those who lost everything and we mean EVERYTHING) are in good spirits. This is the bridge that we walk over every morning with Hunter. This is in the Ranchitos just a few blocks from where we live. We are part of a group who are spearheading getting relief aid to those areas hit the hardest. These areas had a wall of water over 10' high go through their communities resulting in several feet of mud being distributed into their modest homes. The loss of their mattresses, all furniture, clothing, linens, food, etc. In addition these areas do not have drinking water easily available. They are resorting to collecting water from the still flowing creeks that more than likely have dead animals in them contaminating the water....but what other options do they have? NONE. This is an old folks home where the residents had to climb a rickety ladder and spend the night on the roof to escape the rushing

Feels Like Summer

The day time temps have been in the 90s this week with the lows getting only into the 60s. It makes for a beautiful day to take out a friend's yacht and spot Finback whales. If this is a preview of temps this summer, we are in big (and we mean brutally hot but tons of fun) trouble.
