we have had a busy morning. wiley and carol are here and will spend the night with us. scott stopped by and will probably meet them fishing in the morning - wiley intends to go to bocanita. scott is the expert as to shore fishing. some meat truck stopped by and they have meat from sonora and will come back with some samples for us.
it is a spectacular day for us here in Bocana .... just as usual .... sun is bright, breeze is gentle, it is hot in the sun and cool in the shade :)
I don't know what to do about Rex - he is now obsessed with moving the ricks in the front garden and he is pawing at the plants. not OK. the problem may be that we added so much dirt to the front and now he has to go really far out in order to sniff, and Rex is all about sniffing !!
so, we will have one kid to put thru college first and that will be Nacho. he wants to study sports medicine - fine choice and very apropos since he is so into sports. my goal is to have as many countries as possible participating !!

it is a gorgeous day here ..... the sun is shining and the wind is gentle.
Les made a stupendous lunch and we had Nacho and Linda over. Her son is going to have a girl and her name will be Allison Fernanda. Herli is going to have a boy and she hasn't named him yet.
Carol and Wiley were in Asuncion and had a meal at the Tidepool. Maybe they will come back our way ?
New people join BajaNOmad every day, it is just amazing. And some people have been on it for ages - sure wish I had listened to Tony and joined years ago. I find the information invaluable. Such a great resource. Someone was saying that we should have a site only for Baja Sur. I persoanlly find this absolutely absurd. Why would you rule out people who deal with live in know about Baja Sur just because they deal with know about live in Baja Norte ??? I don't get it. Whatever ....
I havent heard from my son marc in a while - maybe i will give him a holler now....Rafa - the other son - hasnt been in touch either. jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez louissssssssssssssssssssssssse kids will be kids I guess ... I just miss them a lot !!
one of my plants on the side has given its first flowers. very nice.

It is Bryn's birthday today and Carol and Wileys 56th wedding anniversary. wow ... that is something huge to commemorate !
got information on the scholarship program and wrote to them asking for a ton of information. we can not join forces with them since they do not cover la bocana - well, now that i think about it, if he is mulege area then we are too covered ... i will have to get back to him on that. but the bottom line is, they have all the experience and that will make my life a million times easier !!
today we went to vizcaino with poncho - tungui - jesus - julian could not go as he is preparing for the mexican independence day celebration and instead we took pablito. he is such a cool child. he is sweet and not pretentious altho his parents are quite well off. he has a quad, no one else does. he has cash to burn. no one else does. and he just fits right in and rides along with the rest. so wonderful that his mom let him go at the last minute. he was ready within 15 minutes :)
it was so hot in vizcaino. they went riding. i had a huge Rio beach umbrella which I opened up and the boys fixed onto the tree for me !! lots of shade but still HOT. I read my book. They rode - came back for water - drode some more - sat int he shade with me and then Les came back full of his shopping. so we all were happy !! only thing missing were the mattresses for the 3 single beds he will be making - the guys told him they wd be in next week.
edith called and we had an intersting conversation. last week the director of the high schooll needed the minibus for the kids to go to a multicultural fair in la paz. she had too many kids for just one bus, so she had the EXACT SAME problem I had 2 weeks ago. no one would call her back - not the delgado nor his wife. and when she managed to get his daughter's cell and the daughter finally got thru - the delegado told her THE BIKE CLUB WOULD BE USING THE MINIBUS. out right lie. edith new it was not true and told her to push the issue. Daina did and they got the minibus. can u believe it ???????????????? I am livid and I mean really upset til now about the whole lie. so, once I become a mexican citizen, I will work with all my soul to get the man removed. he is not helping la bocana. he just isnt. he told me that the baseball club needs the van on the 25th. i know for a fact that this is a lie too.
i wrote to tuly to see if she can find out when the fishing tournament is. no one seems to be concerned that the date is next month and nothing is being promoted !! how can folks plan ahead and make it a really exciting event if they find out only a week beforehand when it will be $%^&*() !!
Wiley and Carol - one of the coolest couples on the block. So 60ish !!! like old hippies who just kept up thier lifestyle. i loved that they are open and honest about life. we cant afford to live in the states. i retired young at 50, and poor. he loves to drive. he is deaf and no hearing aid - come on Wiley !!! time to get one ! she fell on our fornt step and I about had a heart attack - it is one of my worst fears. i hate that step. actually, mom hates that step too. if you are yound, the step gets mprinted immediately. if you are older, it just doesnt sink in cause it is in such a horrible and unexpected place inthe house. i dont like that step and we have started duscussing possible alternatives. major remodel job but if it makes the world (our house) a sater place, I am for it !!
jerry and bob have our stuff - mail and file cabinet and bug spray and the list goes on and on ... we owe them bigtime !!!! they are bringing bikes too yahooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
