Arione: New cockpit table
http://arione.blogspot.com/2013/04/new-cockpit-table.html
Tuesday, April 23, 2013. So we had a new one made. With cupholders. And leaves that open from the top. Reggie, the same guy who did our teak decks built us this. I love it. Cockpit tables are so nice to have, we did without one and entertaining was always difficult. Hmmmm.It looks great and I know you will love having it! Hope to see you both this winter, I still owe you a barbeque! Apr 30, 2013, 8:05:00 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). To Cabo. Our plans are to cruise Mexico for a while.

Arione: August 2012
http://arione.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 22, 2012. Yesterday afternoon in La Paz, it rained. A lot. I was outside grilling shrimp as it got darker and darker. Then it started raining, just a little at first, but in about three minutes it was pouring. Art came out and held an umbrella over my head while the shrimp finished cooking, and then we fled inside. Judging by our impromptu rain gauge (a pyrex pan left beside the barbeque), we got more than 2" in about 45 minutes. Links to this post. Spending the Summer in Mexico. To Cab...

Arione: Barrancas del Cobre - Day 4: Tamahumara
http://arione.blogspot.com/2013/03/barrancas-del-cobre-day-4-tamahumara.html
Thursday, March 14, 2013. Barrancas del Cobre - Day 4: Tamahumara. We met our tour guide, Jose, at 10:00 on Saturday morning. Gail and Murray would come with us for the first part of the day, and then Jose would take us back to the tram that Art had missed the day before. I was looking forward to getting some pictures of the canyon while the sun was shining, too. There were quite a few more conventional houses scattered around as well.

Arione: Barrancas del Cobre - Last Leg
http://arione.blogspot.com/2013/03/our-bus-back-to-mazatlan-left-at-930.html
Friday, March 15, 2013. Barrancas del Cobre - Last Leg. There are a few things we will do differently if we make this trip again. Build in an extra day at Posada Barrancas. The altitude change was really noticable, and it would have been better to have a day to acclimate. We could also have gone down into the canyon from here. Go right after the rainy season. Apparently there are a lot of waterfalls - many visible from the train - if you go in November or December. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Arione: February 2013
http://arione.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 13, 2013. El Quelite (which translates as among other things, amaranth, which we saw growing in the fields beside the road on the way up there) is a colonial town about 45 minutes northeast of Mazatlán. Our friends Cliff and Lynne on s/v Taya have recently acquired a car, and the four of us went up there for a day trip yesterday. It's a very pretty little town:. Outside of the store, we saw these guys riding by. Later, they posed for us with some friends. There's a pretty little church.

Arione: January 2013
http://arione.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 26, 2013. We have been in Mazatlán for a couple of months now, and will be here for at least one more, since we're waiting on our residency permits from INM (Immigration). The permanent resident cards are apparently processed out of Mexico City, rather than locally, and it takes a while. That's OK, we're really enjoying our time here. There's a beautiful historic district (Centro Historico), which is easily reached by bus:. View into Abandoned House. Bench in Front of the Art Museum.

Arione: September 2011
http://arione.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 16, 2011. Día de la Independencia. For the past two weeks, we've watched as La Paz got more and more dressed up. First flags started appearing on buildings, then on the municipal dock, then large displays that are lighted at night, and finally garlands over the street that abuts the Malécon. Last night was the beginning, and the celebration continued today. Marina Rescate - I felt sorry for the divers, who were wearing full wetsuits and tanks in the heat:. Links to this post.

Sunday, January 29, 2012. Wandering around La Paz one day the week after Christmas, I came across this agave, all decorated. I'm pretty sure it was the best Christmas decoration I saw all season. Whoever did it just took the cap/hook piece off of several glass Christmas balls, and inverted them over the spikes of the agave. I took the picture with my phone, so the image quality's not the greatest). Links to this post. Tuesday, January 03, 2012. Not) Whale Watching at Bahia Magdelena. Back at the hotel, w...
