They say every day we learn something and today I learned I’m not very good at saying Goodbye; especially when I’m saying Adios to the special people we have become great friends with at Tres Amigos RV Park. Let’s face it, this year especially, the RV park is a dust bowl. However, it does have 8…

Mazatlan Says Adios
Over the last couple of years the Vanstones have fallen in love with Mazatlan and after our day today we think the feelings are mutual, Mazatlan loves the Vanstones too. Like every other Saturday in 2011, we began our day walking up to the top of El Faro. Part way up we passed this religious…
Marilyn’s Mazatlan Art Show
Some people get all the luck! What a gorgeous setting for an art show! Marilyn had requests to do a show here on the Isla before we leave Mazatlan and Robin & Peggy graciously offered their patio. Bob & Marjorie dove in and helped with the set up, we added some vino, some queso (cheese) and crackers…
Baseball On The Isla
What you see here is a perfect example of Mexican advertising. There was a baseball game yesterday afternoon between the Isla team and The Tres Amigos Gonads (Go North American Drunken Seniors). It was kind of like a group of older teenagers playing their grandfathers. Or put another way, kids who still get baby bonus in the…
Last Tuesday
Relax, I’m not saying it’s the last Tuesday ever, as in end of the world, just our last Tuesday on Stone Island. This Sunday we and four other couples head north. Tuesday mornings at 8am we always meet for our walk up El Faro. We walk down the beach to the shipping channel and catch…
RV’ers in Mexico
Rv’ers in Mexico will probably find this little tid bit handy. It’s a copy from an article in RV.Net/forums regarding a communication from the American Consulate discussing Mexico travel. You can read the whole article here. I think this part could be particularily helpful if you ever run into a Mexican Transito (traffic cop) looking to…
My Favorite Shovel
We have had this shovel since the early 1980’s. Back then it was our best tool for chipping the ice off our driveway during the winter,and in the summer it was handy in the garden. It dug fence post holes and worked on laying our patio. When we made the move from Alberta to BC, this…
Warmer
The Mexicans can fix just about anything and if they can’t fixed it, they can always improvise. That’s what you’re seeing here. Spring is in the air, it’s warming up and apparently it’s time to get some air conditioning back into the old Chevy. I’ll bet these folks are on their way over to her cousin’s house…
Out Of The Fog
As is our habit, last Thursday we did our walk up El Faro and on our way home we stopped at a restaurant on the shipping channel for some breakfast. The food was at best so so, but I thought this picture was kind of neat. You are entitled to disagree if you choose. Here’s…
