Here we are the evening before we left for the U.S. we were welcoming Clark home.

Our house got a new paint job last week.

We are on our way, the trip started out on a bad note but the rest of the trip went perfect with no problems. We got busted by the motorcycle cop from Chapala with shiney boots and spurrs. No license plate on the car trailer. No Problem! $1400 pesos will fix anything. We got on our way about 1 1/2 hrs. late but had a great trip from there on.

Narrow crooked road entering San Louis Potosi. The new highway from Lagos De Marino to San Louis Potosi is now open but you have to be careful or you will end up on this road that leads into San Louis. It was OK, but Belinda said it was a white knuckle road.

It was a little crooked and narrow, but it was very scenic.

Hotel Las Palmas has a campground on the property. It is very nice, with great clean showers. It's in Methuala, Mex.

Here we are parked at Las Palmas ready to go in the morning.

Crooked steep highway near Saltillo. The red lines lead to a run away ramp.

Only in Mexico. These guys are cool, notice the safety helmet.

Rugged mountains near Monterrey.

Cardboard police cars, from a distance these things look like the real thing.

Near the border, a statue of oil rig workers.

Here we are at the border, only about a 15 min. wait to cross. All they did is have us pull to the side and came aboard and did a small inspection and we were gone. A  very easy crossing, the best in a long while.

We are at home. We have been busy, getting the motor home ready for out trip to Texas. We leave tomorrow morning and will be in Texas until June 1. We will return to Mexico for about a month and then back to Texas and continue on with the motor home to Wisconsin, Michigan and Indiana for visits with family. We will be leaving the motor home and car in Texas when we return in June and take the bus. When we return in September we will bring the car and motor home back to Mexico. We'll be busy and having fun. Should be able to post some interesting pictures on our travels.

That's Susanah our friend, we were invited to a party to greet her son who was visiting from New York.

More golf, can't get enough.

Our Monday evenings at cafe, Mariscos Lety, we usually meet there at 6 PM on Mondays.

Our friends and golfing buddies Brooks and Mary 

Wow! it looks like all we do is go out to eat. This is at Birriria Chololo a great restaurant where they serve goat meat birriria. It's one of our favorites. With us are our friends and neighbors, Juan Pablo and Kathleen

Birrieria Chololo is very popular especially on weekends. Most of the time there are several Mariachi bands playing.

This is on the highway in Colima, Mexico. In the background is Colima Mtn. It is an active Volcano, You can see the steam at the top of the mountain.
I am sorry that I did not blog sooner, not that I have not been trying. When we got home we had a new modom installed and it would not allow me to post pictures.
We are now home in San Antonio Tlyacapan, El Parque.

When we got home we had the front bumper of the motor home painted. It was pitted from sun and salt.

Golf is what we do when we are at home, here our friend Mary is putting with Brooks, myself and our caddy Poncho looking on.

Belinda took this from one of the many flower beds at the golf course.

Some of the houses around the golf course.

Lots of beautiful birds at the golf course

Roy most likely missing a putt.

The Jacarandas trees are in full bloom.

This is our clubhouse from the 16Th. tee

Mary making another great shot.

Brooks, they are great friends, we go out for lunch after our golf game on Sundays.

I have not blogged for quite some time. The following pictures are from the past two weeks. We are now packed up and have returned home to Chapala. I will post some pictures from home in the near future. This guy was harvesting coconuts from the palm trees behind our motorhome.  Notice his climbing boots.

These guys were getting ready to go kite surfing from the beach in front of our motor home. It has been quite windy and I guess it is perfect for this sport.

And there thy go.

It's amazing how fast they get going and they will jump waves coming 10 to 15 feet out of the water.

I went fishing again, the tuna have been biting about 25 miles out, we started out there but had to turn back. It has been windy and it really blew that day. We didn't give up but came in and fished around the rocks near Tamarindo. We cought 30 Cosineros. They are not too big but we had fun, and they are good eating. We had lots of action.

This is our boat Captain  Jerry cleaning the catch.

We were trolling 3 baits on a line, and sometimes we got two at a time.

We went  to Manzanillo to visit with Dona and Michael and their friends. This is the view from their patio.

Michael and Dona and their friends form San Antonio, Tx.

This is taken form the restaurant La Vena, a small restaurant near Blue Bay resort

Restaurant La Vena

Taken from the Albatross Bar in Melaque, it was cocktail hour.

The surf has been exceptionally big, these kids were skim boarding but I guess they even decided to sit it out.

At Albatross in Melaque with friends Ray and Pat.

Great entertainment during cocktail hour at the Albatross. Very good blues and jazz.

Mary wanted us to give her bike to some kids that needed one, these are the kids, one of the little girls don't have a bike and she is thrilled to get one of her own. The others have bikes and now they can ride together. They are brother and sisters, the girls are twins.

They are a little small for the bike but they can ride it.

This little guy had to prove to everyone that he can ride the big bike too.

This was on our ride to go shopping in Manzanillo. This is advertising Mexican style.

Michael and I in front of a restaurant in Manzanillo. We met Michael and Dona for lunch after shopping for tires for the Motorhome. We will be replacing the tires before we leave Mexico.

We watched six ships enter and exit the port of Manzanillo while we were eating lunch. We had a really nice lunch of Pizza at a really good Italian restaurant. We needed a Pizza fix.

These are dancers in front of the Church in San Patricio Melaque on St. Patrick's day. We spent the evening on the square watching activities, fireworks, dancing, more fireworks, some Tequila, more fireworks Etc. Etc.

Yes, they did lite this baby up, sparks everywhere, and the crowd is very close. What the heck, what harm can a fee sparks and explosions do. It truly was a crazy St. Patrick's day.

Of course it wouldn't be complete without these guys putting on a fire show swinging these kerosene rags on the end of a chain. Really it was great to look at but perhaps a little dangerous.

Dancing horses, this beautiful horse was so well trained that he could keep time with the music that was being played by a really loud banda.

More kerosene rags.

At 11 PM they lit up the fireworks tree, it was so bright that it was difficult to take pictures.

Of course they had normal fireworks like those in the U.S. but what was different about these is that they are set off very close to the crowd and go off directly overhead. A spectacular sight and very loud boom that shook the ground.

More fireworks.

This is a candy vendor, YES we did buy some.

Dancing in the square to the music of the Banda.
