Sorry about the post yesterday got delayed somewhat...anyway wanted to end the new year with some beach photos taken yesterday, really funny to see humans and pelicans sharing the same ocean at such close quarters....Had my first mechanical problem, New Years Eve about 12 noon, my bike had a flat, managed to find this hole in the wall repair shop where the owner fixed the tire in about seven or eight minutes and told me the cost was 5 pesos, that in my money is 50cents!!!!!!!! Needless to say he received a very generous tip.......... New Year's eve was noisy, music and fireworks and dancing, the children are not kept seperate but are fully included in the activities.... On this New Year's morning I wanted to say thanks to all who read this blog and e mail me about it and also want to wish all a very happy and wonderful New year....
