Catching up

Well time is flying by and it is already February and I have not finished January, so here is a little catch up.

Oh yes, Ron and I, with the rest have been trying line dancing lessons, we had a Western night over at the clubhouse and did three of the dances we have learned.

The Western night was great, wonderful Taco salads and Tacos in such a lovely environment.

We went into Old Kino one day and went to Alcatraz which is a wonderful pottery shop, we will go back as it is very overwhelming the first time trying to see all the wonderful displays.

On our way out the proprietor asked us if we would like to see her home which is adjoining, oh my goodness it was beautiful, the pictures again do not do it justice.

The dinning room.

 A patio or courtyard, really can not see the parrots behind the orange tree.

 Part of the kitchen, you see all the ceramic work

 The bedroom was amazing, the ensuite and walk in closet were to die for.

Now our park sits on a bench about two miles from the main road and up behind us is a very little settlement called Don Palmos, we call them the hill people, they are made up of Mexicans, Americans and Canadians who wanted to own their own property.

Last Saturday we were invited up to one of the Mexican homes to  a fundraiser as their teenage daughter is running for Queen in Kino Bay.  But I blew it I forgot the camera.  They were serving burritos which were cooked on an open fire. The fire or hot coals was about 5 feet out the back door and the home made tortillas were stretched and then placed on a very hot steel (what looked like) an upside down wok. The lady used her bare hands to first stretch out the tortilla and then place it on the cooking dish.  From here we put on everything from a shredded meat, beans, salsa and guacamole etc.  It was very interesting and quite a learning experience.
