Thankful Thursday! November 8, 2018

 

We've been coming down here for over

twenty years and I am amazed how

much care is given to making sure that

the baby turtle eggs are safe before hatching

and when they are released.

Even with all that care only 1 in a 1000

will survive to sexual maturity.

A little girl and I spotted this baby turtle

making it's way to the ocean.

Poetry Jam March 27, 2014 Letting Go!

Baby Turtles, Zihuatanejo, Mexico

November 12, 2012

Raising children is an intricate dance

First a slow waltz usually at night

Sleepily rocking while in a trance 

Later on it's a crazy polka

Chasing those chubby little legs
You will need a strong mocha

Then drama with a hormonal teen

Changes the dance to a moody tango
Happy for a sec and then makes a scene

Look out! Here comes the jitterbug
As they ask for the car keys 
And did I mention using drugs?

Now ready to move on their own 
Not with a Limbo, Twist or Shuffle
It's a new dance- the Stepping Stone.

Vacation in Zihuatanejo Wrapup.....

It's been a few days since we got back home

and we've just now sort of settled down

to our old routines ....here are some goodby photos

of our time in Zihuatanejo....The mile long stretch of beach....dotted with restaurants

and mostly small hotels
Goodby to Illario as he checks on the hatching turtles..
they'll be released into the ocean as we are flying home..

One last drawing made for friends....

My last Jamon y Oaxacan Queso Omelet with Potato Patties

Saying goodbye to dear friends.......

we'll see them next year in Zihuatanejo-if not before!

Saying goodby to the infinity pool that we used after

hours of being in the ocean...

and look! We don't appear to be much worse for

all the cervesas and frioles consumed in the past 2 weeks!

Just a few hours after this photo we were on our

way home....had a great time- we'll be back!

Thursday in Zihuatanejo

Pelicans on the middle rock-

Sandpipers in the surf....

Protected turtle eggs

Baby turtles ready to be released tonight...
