Pretty Quiet Around Here

Pretty Quiet Around Here

We had another beautiful sunrise this morning. There are a couple of photos below and there are more here .

Yesterday I went out to San Carlos and had lunch with S. and her husband. It was "football Sunday" so Roy stayed home in front of the computer and TV.. After lunch she and I headed over to a meeting being held in another area of town. There is a group of ladies that go to one of the orphanages in Guaymas every week and spend some time teaching the children english. This sounded like something S. and I would be interested in, so we attended the meeting. There have also been some computers donated to the orphanage and one of the ladies goes on another day and does some computer training with some of the children. Interesting programs.
I met one of the ladies at the orphanage this morning and she checked out the computers to see if they were in working order and also to check and see what was needed for this winters programs. These programs only run in the winter as most of the ladies are not here year round. Sounds like both programs will get up and running around the end of November. So it is shaping up to be an interesting winter.

A friend and I went to the tianguis this morning. You can certainly tell that it has cooled off a bit, as the tianguis was very busy. Much different than when you go in the heat of the summer. It was still quite warm today though, with the temperature being 31 C..

The city had negotiated with the tianguis vendors to move their operations because the city wanted the usual street to be open for traffic, as they are doing more work on the filling of the bay. We asked a lady where it was now being held and we were given directions. We found it with no problems and wandered all through it. I noticed that the plant lady was back and she has roses in stock again, so I will have to decide what color I want to get to replace the ones that died from the bad soil. I didn't bother today as I didn't feel like carrying them for the rest of our shopping trip. After we finished at the tianguis we headed for a couple of second hand stores to have a look around, you never know what you will find in these stores.

By the time we were done our shopping we were getting hungry and thirsty so decided that it was time to break for lunch and a cold drink. We walked into the restaurant and sat down at a table, near another table where a couple of other ladies were sitting. It turned out that my friend knew these ladies slightly so we joined them and had an enjoyable lunch. The days special was shrimp in a peanut sauce, we both decided to order that. No hardship for me as I love anything to do with peanuts. The food was good, the company was good, so we had a nice time.

After lunch we returned to the apartment and visited for awhile before she left to go home. A nice day.
There were a few clouds last night and this morning so the sunset and sunrise were pretty.

Last nights sunset.

This mornings sunrise.

Sunday Sunrise

Sunday Sunrise

We have been getting up earlier in the mornings lately for some reason, so we have been seeing more sunrises. There were a few clouds this morning, so it was pretty. My photos never do justice to just how pretty it is; but I keep trying. The mornings now are great, with cooler temperatures and lower humidity. This morning it was 18 C./64 F., all the windows are open and we haven't had the A/C on for about a week or so now. The highs are in the range of 32/33 C./91/92 F., so it is much cooler than a month ago. It also helps that the humidity has gone down.

Roast beef in the crock pot for lunch, sun is shining, life is good. Have a great Sunday, wherever you are.

May was a "blue moon" month, or at least where we are. It was lovely here with it shining brightly across the water. This one I took this morning at sunrise.


I took some photos of the sunrise this morning.




Venezia with her latest catch, yesterday. She separated the tail from the body at first, and while the tail lay twitching, she kept on chasing the body. It led her on a merry chase and she had fun playing with it. Rather disgusting and gross to watch; but normal cat behavior.

It's Cooling Off

It's cooling Off

The last few days it has been more comfortable to sit outside in the evening. It is cooling down a bit and the humidity doesn't seem to be as high. Last night we sat outside for quite awhile watching the clouds and lightning; but of course, there was no rain, well a couple of drops. This morning around 6 AM, I took my coffee outside and it actually felt cool. I went in and got the thermometer: 26 C./79 F., I put a light wrap over my shoulders for the first 15 minutes or so until the sun came up. The weather for our area in Alberta at 6 AM, said -1C and going for a high of 8 C., what can I say other than UGH!!

Sunrise this morning.

We went to the tianguis in 100 Casas (another colonia here in Guaymas) yesterday, and as we hadn't bought anything, we then hopped another bus and continued on to the cove at Centinela. It was lovely as usual. There were alot of one type of bugs scurrying over the rocks in certain places. They reminded me of the lemmings on their migration. They were all going the same direction in a big rush. We had never seen this before. I didn't have the camera with me so didn't get a photo of them.

Last night we got out the snorkeling stuff. After going for breakfast to our friends restaurant this morning, we will head to the beach and see what we can see. I hope that the jellyfish are not around.
