Whales

Whales

We aren't leading too hectic a lifestyle here, just lazing around and playing with the cats. We head to town every 3 days or so to pick up some groceries and look around, other than that we hang around the house. The cats are getting used to us, 3 out of the 4 routinely come to be petted and brushed, the fourth lets me pet and brush him and enjoys it ; but he doesn't initiate it.

The other morning we saw the fins of 3 whales go swimming by, I was too slow to get a photo. Then later on in the morning Roy found a tiny tan colored snake right beside the house. I wasn't too thrilled about that; he picked it up on a shovel and moved it away from the house.

The almost full moon shining on the water is a lovely sight and we are enjoying the ocean views.

Apparently, there is a storm that they are predicting could hit Acapulco and it could become a hurricane, so we are keeping an eye on the forecast for that. I imagine that it will either blow itself out or head out to sea long before it gets to us.

Wildlife Here

Wildlife Here

Naturally as we are out in the country there is more wildlife here than what we are used to in town.

So far, some of the things that we have seen are: a coyote, a rabbit, lizardy type creatures, a mom and dad quail and their little ones, woodpeckers, hummingbirds, doves, and many other birds that I cannot identify. Out in the water we see fish jumping and also the "bat rays" as our homeowner called them. They jump out of the water several feet and then smack the water as they land. At times there are constant smack, smack sounds. They are interesting to watch and our homeowner told us that sometimes they are so loud at night that they keep them awake. Also, of course there are the usual cows and goats.

We went into town yesterday and had lunch and then picked up a few more groceries.

The beasts are all fine and getting friendlier, two of the four are now spending time in our laps getting their petting quotas fulfilled.
