January 12 to 16, 2016; Beach, Music Jam and Guaymas

JAN 12, TUESDAY; Beach day
After a lazy morning and the girls walk, we went to El Cheque for hot dogs and beer then to Tony’s for lettuce and sour cream.  We decided to go to Delfine and Pillar Beach and walked to the end where the Estuary empties into the Sea.  We looked around Pillar condos and had a beer at the restaurant there.  It is a small quaint place; we had had a birthday party there a few years back.  We tried to go in the Delfine condos but there was a gate and they wouldn’t let us in.  We went to what we call the Sunset House to show M&A the view but when we got there, there were cops standing there so we turned around and left.  This was the house that our gang at the time which included the Kirkby’s where we had sunset dinner and watched the sun set.  Anyway, we came back to our houses and had a short HH then dinner, the tube and to bed by 10 pm.


JAN 13, WEDNESDAY; Music jam at friend’s house
WOW, I slept till 9 pm!  Val was up and about and left with the girls for their morning walk but she came back early because she wasn’t feeling well!  I worked on the blog while she relaxed on the couch.  At 2 pm, we all went over to Brian and Carol’s house where Marcel, Brian and John played music to a crowd of about 26 friends.  Beer, hot dogs, salad, chili were served for free.  Everyone had a great time so it was a success all around.  Aud, us and Louise and Dave were the first to leave.  It was getting cold and we had enough so we said our goodbyes for the night.  Val is NOT feeling very good, her throat is sore and she has the shiver.  She had hot chicken broth once at home.  Our neighbours behind us are quite loud tonight having a good time but settled down by the time we went to bed at 10 pm


JAN 14, THURSDAY; Guaymas city
Val is feeling better this morning but her voice is still raw!  She went for her morning walk with the girls!  After lunch, we all went to Guaymas to shop for crayons and proper paper for drawing.  Marcel and Louise are taking lessons at the Park!  We found some needed supplies but not all of it.  We decided to go for a drink at the Palapa near the Harbour only to find that it had burned down so we went to a small place near the end of the Pier and had a beer there but found it none appealing for a snack.  Fishermen were unloading their open boats loaded to the hilt with small fish and the stench was quite strong.  We went back to Walmart where there is a restaurant/bar and another beer and some tacos.  Val and I had Tortilla soup but it wasn’t very good!  WE came home, sat out for HH then went in for dinner and a quiet evening.  Marcel came over and we continued our discussion on pros and cons of buying versus renting.


JAN 15, FRIDAY; Jam session #2
Once again the girls went for a looong walk, 12 km and came home with sweets for the boys.  My neighbour began loaded his stuff as he is leaving tomorrow.  At 2 pm, the “Cabrones”, as the new band is now called, began their music.  The space in front of the Lemieux quickly filled ant one time we had over 70 people sitting on the road and every empty space.  Everyone enjoyed it so much that someone suggested roasted hot dogs next time and the planning began!  The guys quit at 6 pm as John had an appointment to attend and the crowd dispersed slowly.  We went in to eat our dinner and relax for the rest of the evening.


JAN 16, SATURDAY; Wash day
A cool day and cloudy; everyone complaining it ain’t fair!  J  We spent the day around the Park visiting neighbours and just having a relaxing day.  Val did laundry and went for a walk on the beach with Louise but they were soon back as it was too cold and windy.  I went for my two hot dogs at EL CHEQUE and then, Dave and I went to AL & Brenda for HH.  Marcel and Audrey went to EL CAPITAN to listen to live music and pizza for dinner, we didn’t go.  There was an Art show next door at TECALI, Val and Louise went to see it but they said it wasn’t as good as the previous one they attended!? 
I BBQ’ed steaks and lobsters that we bought in the States.  Val made a salad to go with it.  YUM! YUM!
