It's been a fun week here in Los Barriles. Tuesday was the big Independence Day parade in town. It was so fun to see all the kids dressed up like Revolutionists! There were so many parents walking along with their kids that I could hardly get a few shots of them. On the Friday night before, there was the crowning of the Queen in the new local park. We went at about 8 pm. when things were supposed to get started. Well, we Gringos forgot that 'time' is Mexico is somewhat different than 'time' in USA. The carnival booths were set up and there were a few other 'gringos' walking around or eating, but nothing else was happening. The music and events didn't really get started until about 9pm. The same thing happened for the parade. This time tho, we took our chairs, sat on the sidewalk and had a frappe'.! The parade that was supposed to start at 8 a.m started about 9 am.. The other big event this week happened on Thanksgiving morning - Roger picked up his quadrunner. It's a bright red Polaris and has only 500 miles on it! The shot in front of the houses at the beach was taken the day he got it. The shot on the beach at sunrise was taken today. Too much Fun!! I am also including a photo of the front of 'our' house., Our covered driveway is on the right and you can barely see the top floor palapa deck on the right. The side opposite the front door faces the sea and town. We had a great Thanksgiving with friends in an rv park just outside of town. Danny and Linda Peterson came down with us on the first rv caravan trip. They bought a site in a nice park and we enjoyed the day very much. Well, that wraps up this week. We hope you all are feeling good and having a good time! we are.... happy trails.....
