A Visit With Friends

Our longtime friends Ron and Carmen Konkle refused to listen to all the negative press about Mexico and decided to check out this wonderful spot for themselves.  Contrary to the gossip mill,  Bo Derek was not in residence at Las Hadas this particular weekend.

 I am not sure if Carmen was taking a run on the beach or Rog was dreaming again but this picture appeared on his camera??????  Maybe a ghost from summers past.

The mornings are always beautiful when you are on the water and we got up just in time to see the start of another gorgeous day.  It had been a very noisy night at anchor in Las Hadas so we decided to take the boat over to Santiago Bay for a bit on beach time.  After traveling and late night disco music the quiet was wonderful.

The beach vendors were strolling all day trying to sell to both locals and visitor.  Santiago has quite a large influx of senior Canadians so I don't think this vendor was marketing to them, but I could be wrong.  I certainly don't know how he can see his way up and down the beach but I have never seen an inner tube run over a bathing beauty.












After two days in Tenacatita where we managed to use up all our water we had to make a change of plans.  Darn, we need water and the only place to get it is the Grand Bay Hotel!  It didn't take long to figure out our problem when you find that the Spectra Rep is two slips away.  Unfortunately it was not an easy fix, parts have to come from California, so I am tied up to the dock for the better part of a week.  I will suffer through.

I knew Carmen would enjoy a trip into Bara for a bit of shopping,  so we headed out to the Farmer's Market on Thursday while the boys took it easy on the boat.  It was Valentines Day so we didn't think we could get into too much trouble.  We shopped for a bit before heading back to the Hotel by ponga because we had made reservations for a wonderful dinner at the Hotel and we wanted plenty of time to get ready.  More about dinner in another blog.
