We finally got word on Thursday morning that our eagerly awaited engine parts had arrived in La Paz. Our friend Jean (s/v Avalon) in La Paz had ordered them for us and then another friend, Alex (m/v Maitairoa), picked them up and sent us the photo at left verifying it.
We are driving to La Paz tomorrow morning and thanks to friends Frank and Linda (m/v Discovery), who happen to be here in Puerto Escondido and have agreed to run our generator while we are gone, we will be staying overnight instead of driving the 4 hours each way there and back in one day. And once we get there, we'll stay at the home of our music friends Bob and Ulla and Dean will jam with Bob while I play bridge with my cronies.
The cruising and ex-pat communities in Mexico are full of super folks like these. While in P.Escondido, I've been given rides to town, taken to play bridge, and helped to buy motor oil and rent a car. Today was cold and windy and we had rain last night that woke me up with a splash on the face through the stateroom window- Yikes! The Thanksgiving Pig Roast was yummy and it is always a good time of year to remember all the things for which we are grateful. This year, I had an extra special reason to give thanks- my new little grandson, Jacob
