Just another day :-)

Mon 11 Dec

We had a quiet day getting into the Mexico vacation state of mind. Daniele did a lot of house cleaning and several big pots of delicious stew. We’re trying to figure out our schedule: we’re not ready to leave here but there’s 600 miles between here and where we need to be on the 22nd and there are several other places that we want to see and stay at,

Met more of our neighbors and found them all very interesting from all walks of life. At least here, there’s no evidence of snobbery. A couple (she from Switzerland and her husband from Indonesia) and their 2 young children are in a tent. They participate in the sunset gathering along with all the others. We’re all passing DVDs around for viewing.

There must be 20 shrimp boats working right off from where we are. A lady came through selling fresh shrimp and of course we bought some. Fellows also came through selling carvings…we passed. The propane truck came through and filled our tanks….a very efficient system they had. A fun thing: our Canadian neighbor came over and said…he’s coming…you’ll want this! We heard a truck with a loud PA speaker and a cute little song as he rode through the neighborhood outside the campground. Sure enough he pulled in and here was a small pickup with a burner, a vat of hot oil sloshing around, and a device that extruded dough into the oil. The result was a cinnamon doughnut thing that was fantastic! Think they are call churros…Daniele got mad at me because I ate most of them.
