Some Photos

Some Photos
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.

Hurricane Shutters

Hurricane Shutters
Yesterday morning we were just sitting around when a truck drove up to the gate. It turned out that it was the crew that were coming to install hurricane shutters to the house. They were supposed to email before they came so that we could make sure and be home. They hadn't emailed; but we were home so it didn't really matter. They spent all day doing the installation and did a good job. We did some chatting with the boss and found out that he has been doing this for 18 yrs. and is originally from Toluca, Mexico. He told us that some of his buddies go over to Hermosillo to pick grapes during the season. We swapped information about here and Guaymas, while he was on a break. They went into town for lunch, so we didn't have to feed them. They work out of Los Cabos and have 2 days work up here this time. He said that sometimes they camp in an arroyo and cook fish that they have caught; but this time they are staying in town.
We saw the whales again this morning and Venezia caught herself another lizard of some type. She has caught 3 or 4 that we know about and they have all been different varieties.
We went into town, had some lunch, found the bus station and got information for our trip home. I think that we will bus all the way to Santa Rosalia from here, (approx. 654 kms.) and then take the ferry straight home to Guaymas. We will spend a night and day in Santa Rosalia looking around.
