Bob and Bren's Mexican Adventure

For about ten days there is some sort of Festival here and the fireworks are really loud and non stop going off from 5:00 a.m. and continuing into the evening. The church is the one igniting the fireworks. It sounds like a transformer blew up in your yard. Our poor dogs are shell shocked. Bob's sister's dog, an English bulldog, has to wear a thunder jacket and shakes the whole time they are going off. Flower hides under the bed. The fireworks aren't pretty, just LOUD! Oh did I mention the church bells which are lovely except not so much at 5:00 in the morning and carry a long distance in the middle of the night. This morning at 6:00 a.m. the church shot off 175 loud booming fireworks. That was the end of sleeping!

In this video, this main side street is blocked off and many tent vendors are set up. The church is several blocks away, but you can tell how loud the bells are and they really overshadow just how loud the one firework boom is that goes off in the video. We have till Monday to "enjoy" the festivities!

This wall painting was near the plaza as we strolled past the tent vendors. Very 3-D!

These beautiful birds are all around our yard.

This one year old banana tree is in our side yard and is now producing bananas. Can't wait to try one!

We pass these baby bottle shaped condominiums when we get our mail. Love these. They have a great view of the lake.

Poinsettias are in full bloom and about 12 ft. tall.

Bob , Flower and I are on our morning walk around the lake.

A lady walking the lake showed me where the bare area on one of the mountains looks like an eagle. Can you see it? Took me forever to catch on....I'm .a little dense I guess!
