It's Been A While

It has been a long time and now where do I start?  I have been feeling guilty about not updating on here and then I think where do I begin, and so delay once more.

We have been busy with everyday things, a couple of group coffees/dinners, finishing art class, doing some sewing and of course the Festival Mar Bermejo.

I decided not to take the summer course art class this year, as I find 4 classes a week for a month just too much.  I was told there was also going to be a class in printing, that I am interested in and I faltered in my decision; but held fast.  Then I found out there was a photography class also and almost caved as I really want to learn more about photography, sadly the class was already in progress for a week and I decided to skip starting it in the middle.

Instead we have been attending many of the events of the week long Mar Bermejo Festival, which commemorates the 13 of July battle in which the Mexican forces overcame the French who were trying to overtake the port city.

They had tons of events going on, concerts, an art walk, theatre, movies, etc..

We attended a movie, a few concerts, did the majority of the art walk and just enjoyed the whole event.  It gets better every year.

One of the members of our photography group also belongs to a music group so we went to hear them the night they played.







We attended a Baptism Party, which was fun also.

So that's a bit of an update for now.  I will post more photos of the Art Walk on the Art Blog.

First Photographers Group Get Together

A while back a friend of our landlords invited me to join an amateur photographers group that he made a page for on Facebook.  He named the page:  Amantes de Guaymas, aficionados a la fotografia, which loosely translated means Guaymas lovers, photography fans.  The group consists of people who live or used to live in Guaymas and the majority of the photos are of Guaymas.

Lots of the members already know each other; but some don't and I know almost none of them.  They decided that we should have a group get together, kind of a meet and greet over food and drinks.  One lady had a place large enough outdoors to accommodate a group and offered to cook for the group.  Everyone took something and yesterday was party day.

The place was great, lots of room for seating, kids play area, bathroom, cooking facilities, etc., great location.

The food was excellent, I forgot to take pictures of it believe it or not.

I don't think I have ever seen that many cameras in one place and no matter where you turned there was one pointed at you.

A good time was had by all I think or so it seemed.
