Virgen De Guadalupe

Virgen De Guadalupe

A funny thing happened today on the way to the bank. We walked to the bus stop and waited for the bus, once we were sitting down Roy glanced down at his change. The bus driver had given him 3 pesos change back from a 5 pesos coin. He should only have gotten 1 pesos in change. Rather than getting up and braving the moving bus, we decided to wait until we got off, to return the extra change. As we were riding along, Roy began to laugh, he pointed out the tariff sign on the bus wall. The driver had given him the senior rate of 2 pesos. This is the first time that that has happened. For one thing, to get the reduced rate you are supposed to show your senior card, which we don't have as we are not seniors, unless you hit senior age earlier here than in Canada. Anyway, we had a good laugh and Roy told me to tell you, that he cried for 3 blocks, feeling his age immensely.
Roy then went to pay the car insurance for the year, it has increased from around $160.00 last year to about $230.00 this year; but is still much cheaper than Canada. I think we were paying about $720.00 a year there.
After having a supper of roast chicken, potatoes, gravy and stuffing, we were stuffed. We decided to see if we could find where the procession for the Virgen de Guadalupe was supposed to be. Our landlord had told us that it is not a big procession; but I still wanted to try and find it. We took the bus to where he had told us it would start and sure enough they were just getting ready to leave. I asked a couple of ladies if it would be alright if I took some photos and they told me to go ahead, even telling me to go closer. That was nice of them. I took some photos before they left and a couple more as they were walking. When I showed one little girl the picture and told her that it was her, she looked at me and shook her head NO. The little boys were quite impressed. It had been cloudy all day and just as the procession was starting to walk, a lovely rainbow appeared and it hadn't rained a drop!! Hmmm......

There was a beautiful sunset tonight.



Yes, Marie, I again forgot to turn off the date setting on the camera until we got home and I uploaded the photos and there it was. Maybe I should have gotten the senior discount instead of Roy. I have turned it off now, though.

A very nice gentleman has sent me a bunch of old photos of Guaymas after seeing the post the other day. Once I get my act together and get all the new ones taken that I need I will post some more of them together.

Tomorrow it is back to the dentist again (UGH!!) and the end of another week, where does the time go?
