It's Feline Friday Plus a Visit to La Barra! November 14, 2014

Here's Lola- in her favorite dining room chair!

On our way to Barra La Potosi- our annual

"Field trip". This time our transportation

had a vast improvement. We got to the bus station

and the nine of us got to ride in a comfy new van!

Complete with on demand AC!

Here's Russell, Bob, Judy and John.... 

Ted's at the head of the table....

Ron, Jeff and Chris 

and our waiter in the background...

This was our view!

Men watching food being prepared...

La Senora cooking tasty dishes!

Russell had Guacamole 

( for our missing buddies Wynn and Roberto)

And I had Avocados stuffed with shrimp...

Some of us had very good Marguerita's

and you can spot a few cervezas in the background...

Earlier this fall a hurricane did an enormous amount

of damage to this little place. They lost considerable

beachfront and are just beginning to rebuild.

We had a very enjoyable day.

Our van driver returned to pick us up right at 2:30pm

and took us all the way to our hotel! Woo hoo!

A perfect sunset for our perfect day!

Local Fisherman

Barra la Potosi, Guerro, Mexico

November 2009

Proud fishermen

Fish for their family dinners

Not for their walls

It really bothers me that some

people just fish for their egos.

Hooking beautiful fish for their

family room wall. 
When we were kids the rule was
"You catch it, you eat it"

A Day in La Barra de Potosi

Our vacation wouldn't be complete without

a trip to Barra la Potosi!

We took the bus from downtown Zihuatanejo to Los Ochotes

Passing by the market places selling oranges-



Selling chickens for tonights dinner....

and I think this is where masa is sold?

Or maybe cheese?

After getting to Los Ochotes we took a bumpy ride

in the back of a pickup to la Barra.....lots of families were

already here enjoying the water...

Judy and Russell are on their shell phones....

La Senora was very busy today cooking ....

Prep area in the immaculate kitchen

After lunch some of us went swimming....

Others enjoyed the hammocks...

At the end of the day we enjoyed

the beautiful sunset back in Zihuatanejo....

And the release of the baby turtles

which I always find so amazing.

Today we fly home-back to reality

and the beginning of winter weather...
