Cabalgata

This is a real cowboy horseride from one ranch to another. It is all about pageantry and is not a race. The cowboys arrive with their horses the evening before the ride and camp out. A BBQ was hosted by the ranch. PJ presented his 4 litre bottle of tequila for sharing by the cowboys and he immediately made a lot of new friends. Shelly warms her hands on the BBQ and is offered gloves from a Mexican man. She gives the gloves back at the end of the night and he says they are a gift for her so she remembers him as her friend, very nice.

The ride the next day consisted of about 125 horses and they rode about 25 miles.

Building UP

 We decided to bite the bullet and join the development craze here, lol. Building a great room on top of the casita. Will give us a place to hang 'together' while we are reading, crafting, stretching, watching TV and an indoor space to eat meals when it is very windy here. Plus Shelly can see the water from here and see if it is a good paddle day. They had to remove the top of the deck railing to attach the new bricks. The workers are FAST! This giant crane had to be brought in to hoist the concrete girders up to the ceiling. The roof will be poured tomorrow. The roof was poured today. More photos to come, check back...

Final bits and pieces and then this wonderful new addition will await ou...

 It's another year to tackle hillsides that I haven't before and revisit those I love.  The first hike of the season was to a granite cliff in Rancho Nacapule. We can't quite make it to the highest point of the cliff so we continue to an arch behind this cliff that we have hiked to before. This time we approached it from a different direction.  We then veer off and get a little further away from the vehicle than we intended. PJ was on alert that he may have to come get us. In the end we make it all the way back to our vehicle and boy are we tired. There are bike trails across from the Estuary that we have been wanting to see if they are also good hiking trails. And they are, plus look at these views. There is an entire point area in Guaymas that we haven't checked out. We head out searching for El Carricito. Access is via a rough 4-wheel drive dirt road to a beautiful bay that we'll have to come back to to paddleboard at. Looking for other hiking opportunities in th...
