Cloudy Day Views

We have great views from our windows and patio; whether it is sunny or on the occasional days when we get clouds.
Yesterday we had a cold front blow in from Arizona along with clouds.  Ok, so it is not that cold; but for us it was chilly enough for jeans and heavier tops.  I think the temperature was around 25 C. or so.

I took a few photos from the patio yesterday afternoon, just before the sun came out from behind the clouds.

Area Photos

Nothing too exciting going on here. It was cloudy and cooler for awhile this morning, so we shut off the air conditioners and I took the filters out and washed them. Hard to do the maintenance when you don't want to shut them off.
Went uptown and bought the birthday gift for Sundays party and got it wrapped and also got myself a new pair of flip flops. Exciting stuff.
Here are a few random photos of the area.

Guaymas To San Carlos

Yesterday we got started on our big trip from Guaymas to San Carlos, all of maybe 15 miles. We had gotten to the overpass where you have to make the decision to either to head straight to Hermosillo (state capitol, about 125 kms.) on highway 15 or turn to go to San Carlos. We turned, after all we were just going for breakfast.
The mountains/hills continue.



Getting closer, there are some yards now.





Here we are, heading into San Carlos. The mountain seen faintly on the left is the tourist brochure famous Tetas de Cabra or Tetas de Kawi, depending on who you talk to. A little further down the main street Beltrones Blvd. our breakfast was waiting.

Hills Or Mountains?

Are they hills or mountains? They are called both here by different people. Compared to the Rockie Mountains in Alberta/B.C. in Canada they are probably hills; but compared to the hills in Saskatchewan where I grew up they would be considered mountains. You can call them whatever you want.
I took these yesterday as we drove out of Guaymas on our way to San Carlos for breakfast. They are not the best quality as they were all taken out of the car window as we drove; but they will give you an idea of the land around here. Some of the tourist promotion stuff here brags about the beauty of the area, saying it is a place where, " the desert and the mountains meet the sea" and it is indeed beautiful in my mind.

Nothing Exciting Going On

Nothing much happening right now. Picked up a few groceries yesterday and got a haircut. Getting ready to head uptown to pick up some painting supplies soon. Gloomy and cool here today, unusual. Downright chilly as it is only 21 C. and it is already 9:30 AM. Must be a pretty good sized cold front from somewhere sitting over us.
Here's a couple more mountain, water, shrimp boat pictures to look at.

The Other Side Of The Bay

These were taken one day when it was cloudy, which is unusual for here; but it was a nice cool day to wander around. We were downtown by the Fishermans Plaza (Plaza de la Pescador), looking across to the other side of the bay.
