World's Largest Chanukah Candle

Seen in downtown Mazatlan.

Tai Chi Class

Our class is free and we get so much from each class... We have class right at the ocean and right at sunset. And if that weren't spectacular enough, behind us are the cliff divers - young buckaroos that climb up onto a diving platform and when they get enough pesos, dive into the surf. And further out from the harbor this ferry is on its way to La Paz near the tip of Baja.

Tonight after class, we had dinner in one of our favorite restaurants - El Tunel. We can see the beginning of the Christmas decorating. We got our tickets to the Nutcracker ballet - then, home to light the candles. December is upon us. Happy Hanukah.

Week of Gratitude

We had the best week! How'd y'all do with that full moon on Sunday? We went to Stone Island for a Temezcal. We are so blessed to have such lovely community here.

On Tuesday, we spent the whole day celebrating the most awesome 63 year old man I ever met. (thanks Northie) Yup! Hal is the birthday boy.... we started the day with a ride on the malecon (14 miles), and breakfast in the Olas Altas part of town. Our neighbors Sam and Rita shared a WWII dinner at Wings Army (Mazatlan chicken wings!), a fun dessert at a snappy little cafe, and Harry Potter.

2 days later..... We shared a gentle Thanksgiving with our friends of the Jackson clan. Dinner was memorable and perfect. And traditional - turkey, mashed taters, yum, I'm gettin hungry.

2 days later....Back with the Jacksons where we played and laughed and shared the best time with our new friends.

Hal has some interested people for his Tarot class in January.

Drumming circle was satisfying.

Ate a lot of good food.

See you next week!

On the Waterfront

Before and during Tai Chi class last week. If you look closely, you can spot Northie in the class.

Getting the propane tank filled

Pretty handy - the truck comes around and whoever needs propane gas yells at him to stop at their rig.
