December 15 - New Hummingbirds & Market in the RV Park

We started the day with breakfast on our patio.  The big news is we have new Hummingbirds including an Allen's hummingbird, Broad-billed Hummingbird, and a Berylline hummingbird. for a total of seven species  The other earlier arrivals are the Violet crowned, Cinnamon, Ruby-throated, and Black chinned.
The Hawk-eagle was also back hunting just below us and a Yellow-winged Cacique has been visiting the neighbour's oriole feeder.

We were getting into our car to check out more hotels when I heard the call of "Bollito!  Yes, it was the (roughly translated ) "bun" truck.  I went over and purchased croissants, cheese buns (nothing resembling our cheeses more like a vanilla filling), and delicious strawberry tarts.


It is Yolanda"s mobile Bakery

I was just getting back in the car when Cam said the vegetable market is also on in the park. We had forgotten that certain vendors can come to the park on Saturday and Tuesday.

Out I went again buying an assortment of fruit and vegetables.  They also sell beer, eggs, wine, DVDs, nuts, dried fruits, etc.  There was an old fellow with a 5 gallon pail on his shoulder in the morning calling out that he had bee pollen and honey for sale.  The park has other interesting services on certain days like water delivery - Ramon, haircuts, manicures & pedicures, laundry pickup & drop-off, propane, Ruben's pizza with Wednesday night Italian specials, acupressure, blind repair (miniblinds that is), ice, mobile car wash, housecleaning, etc

Eventually we made it into Rincon to the hotels.  While Cam was waiting for me he captured a few more Mexican memories.




We returned to the park to discover the pool was being refilled after the rains.  Note the hose on the left, this could take awhile (ok, there is another hose on the other side).


Hey, is that Santa in the hammock?

I hope that toilet paper is at least 3 ply for that 1 peso!
Also, I knew Santa would be the type to vacation somewhere warm.
