Well, her we are again. Back at the beach in Melaque Jalisco Mexico. It is quite warm here, and very humid. This is from the first fishing trip of the year. I think it is about 45 Lb. maybe a little more. It is a Sailfish and we had some that evening and it was delicious.
We arrived on Dec. 1st and will be here until the 1st of March. Some of the things that have been going on since  we arrived are a hat party that all most of the gals from the campground attended, we have been on our 22 kilometer bicycle ride three times a week, been to a Christmas Party given by the staff at Bananas restaurant in Barra  De Navidad where we have breakfast on our bicycle ride. We have helped bag candy and taken gifts for the school in the banana plantation near Cihuatlan Jalisco, we have gone to Boca Beach and walked with our pitching wedge and hit golf balls for a couple of miles. YIKES! we have much more to do before Christmas. On Christmas eve in the morning we will help the whole group of campers here bag 400 bags of candy and gifts for the children of the community that will file thru the campground for over an hour to collect their gifts on Christmas morning. It is busy here but we are loving it.

They sure look good. Don't look like campers do they.

A parade for the Virgin of Guadalupe day.

The Virgin of Guadalupe is very important to people here.

The staff from Banana's restaurant. Really nice people and they have all become friends of  our bicycle group.

Some of our Banana's party group.

Some of the kids from the school located in the banana plantation.

Cracking open a pinata at the school party. We had three pinatas stuffed full of candy. There were lots of big smiles from all of the kids.

Everyone at the school got a ticket, when their number was called they were able to come up and choose any gift that was left. It was absolutely wonderful to watch the smiles on those kids faces.

So everyone believes that we were in a banana plantation. 

This kid got the last bicycle that was left, he was smiling from ear to ear.
Notice the card tree in the background, the children made the cards and wanted all of us that brought the gifts out to them to choose a card for ourselves. These were all well behaved kids that could not have been more thankful for all that they got that day.
