Nance and Mary were still here for their first 2 nights so we all went into Carnival Tuesday evening. The parade was as crazy as always, the atmosphere full of energy…. thumping music, street food and big crowds along the Malecon. The photos will speak for themselves!
Nance and Mary volunteered to transport a dog back to Vancouver for the local La Paz Dogs Rescue Organisation. How awesome. It all went well, and now they await the arrival of their own rescue (chosen while they were down here) towards the end of March. Lucky puppy! I will be visiting Berry (name change coming soon!) regularly to send them photos.
The week flew by with Kathy and Iain. Paul had two gigs - a Valentine Jazz night with Terry, and also a full band show on the Malecon to celebrate Chinese New Year… kind of random down here in Mexico, but it was a full house! Excellent music with a singer flown in from Hong Kong - some of her songs in Chinese were new for Paul!
We had a fun day in La Ventana Saturday (world famous Kite Surfing beach) - always fun to explore.
We rounded the week off with another pizza party last night (seems to be an “after tennis” Sunday thing now…) only 18 people here last night, so super easy - ha ha!
A few days on our own and then Nicky, Phil and Rylie are hoping to come down again Thursday (space permitting on the airplane) We are super excited - Kathy and I hit the “Segundas” (2nd hand stores) and picked up some new things for Rylie to enjoy!
