Lo de Marcos

We left Mazatlan on Friday November 22 for our final day of driving to Lo de Marcos.  When we arrived in the late afternoon it was hot and humid.

Saturday afternoon the veggie truck and the bread lady stopped by to sell us their goods. Saturday night those of us staying at Savage RV Park headed to the restaurant Las Glorias at the town square for taco night.  Friends from other campgrounds had the same idea so it was like a welcome home party! Cheap meal at less than $2CAD per taco and we only need a couple each as they are very filling. 

Sunday afternoon we enjoyed our first time swimming in the ocean for the season.  It was wonderful! Gentle waves so no boogie boarding but perfect for just floating around. In the early evening we headed to a Grey Cup party at the home of a fellow Canadian. 

Monday a man from the local nursery dropped by with a wheel barrow of Poinsettias, miniature Xmas trees, calla lilies, peace lillies, roses, oregano, rosemary and mint plants.  We purchased a large Pointsettia for our patio along with a pot of rosemary and mint to plant in our garden.  Bev also has basil seeds to germinate for her herb garden.

Bev is joining 5 others to take Mexican cooking lessons on Friday morning.  Should be fun.

We're getting back into routine.  Walk in the morning, beach time from 2 to 4 in the afternoon, happy hour, etc. 

Many of the activities like baseball, stretch classes, etc will not start up until the second week of December when the majority of the snowbirds will all be here.

The manager of our campground is urging us to put up our Christmas decorations.  His wife has decorated the posts of the palapa with a wreath and other small decorations.  But we Canadians bring the strings of lights. Guess that will be our next group activity once the humidity drops a bit.

We are happy to be back in our winter home.
