Angel and Anahi's Wedding

We went to Angel and Anahi's wedding on Saturday. It was a lot of fun! The ceremony was in a church in Zihua and then we went to Ixtapa for the reception. It was in a place next to the golf club and it was a beautiful setting.

I think there were 300 people! The ceremony was at noon and the reception at 2:30. We ate when we got there and then again at 6pm, then before we left at 8pm they had tacos for everyone! Unfortunately we missed the fireworks!

Fish Story

We have been here for 5 months now and Syd has only caught one fish because the lagoon closed in November, instead of March, and the sardines left. Then Steve arrived and headed out to the beach to take pictures this morning. The next thing I hear is Steve calling Syd for his fishing rod, shortly after Steve calls me to say he caught a fish (the small one!) and he was really excited! Then the birds arrived chasing the sardines and behind the sardines are the juarel (yellow fin tuna). Syd ran down the beach, casts into the waves and hooks a big one. Steve is so excited watching it all , they were quite a pair!


Ground Breaking Ceremony

We went to Annabelle and her property partner's ground breaking party last night. We rang little bells, burned sage and spread fresh basil around the property.

Afterwards we had champagne, wine and snacks made by Carmen and Tito.

We realized how lucky we are to have such good neighbors.

Patzcuaro (Madeleine's Birthday)

Last weekend we headed up to Patzcuaral for three nights with Barb and Ernesto to surprise Madeleine for her 60th birthday. We had a great time surprising her. We went for lunch at the Patio and then to Mistango for a lovely dinner. We even had birthday cake back at the hotel!

The next day Madeleine and Yves left on the bus and we went to some places along the lake. Barbie got some lamps and a stone pig and Ernesto got a stone boat with a man and elephant in it. Really cute! We got one of those stone carved Mexican men having a siesta for our door stop and we got 4 big fish planters (below) to go on the wall in Bamfield.

The following day we walked around the square, had breakfast and then headed home.
