Our friends Gary and Carol from Edmonton arrived on Feb.7th. Since then we have had a lot of fun enjoying delicious food, tasty cocktails, dancing, lots of walking and fantastic beach days. The odd day when we have had some rain or clouds, shopping is in order. We can always find something to look around for!
North Beach
Monica from Chilie Locos
Mexican Skin
Our Beach Bar ¨Sergios
Migel who own a cool restaurant and bar. Sorry my eyes are shut!We have a slick method of choosing the restaurant of the day. At breakfast as we eat our toast and fruit we draw from a hat of favorite restaurants for the evening meal. That way we never have to make a decision - oh the joys of a stress free vacation.
Gary and Carol enjoy the same things as we do, so it works out well. Here we are drawing for the daily dinner restaurant.
The Sol Store (The local cervasa)
The Soggy Peso ( a fun bar and grill on the way home
The Main Street
Valentines Day for Senora
Valentines Day for Senor
We experienced a fast and furious storm the other day. We were on the beach, it was very hot and sunny. Within a few minutes the sky across the ocean turned pure black but the sun continued to shine on the beach. About 10 minutes later the Mexican people and servers started yelling¨Now¨! They no sooner yelled and a wild wind blew in. There were umbrellas, plates, bottles and food flying all around. Luckily we ran back in time into the restaurant and waited out the storm. They let down the big canvas sheets to block out the wind. Next it started raining and within a few hours the sun was out again!!
Calm Before The Storm

Calm Before The StormCarnaval has begune!! We´re not exactly sure what it all signifies, but it is defnately a celebration of some sort!! We think it is connected to the religious aspect of Easter and of course the Mexican culture.
The town is decorated with a huge stage, flags, neon lights, dancing and blaring music. There are parades and rides for the kids. The streets are lined with food stands. Everything goes on until late for 5 days. The whole community gets involved.
During the day, families get dressed up and drive around in trucks with blaring music and decorations. They will just stop anywhere in the street or beach, get out and dance. What fun!!

A highlight is the crowning of the king and queen and prizes for the best dance groups.
