Market & J.E.E.P

It continues to be a busy time here at the park.  Families arriving, others leaving but the park remains full.  We have cancelled aquacises and bingo until after January 8 when the kids go back to school.  The pool and community centre are way too busy.  In the past the kids here returned to school earlier.

At JEEP today we cleaned the cat and dog kennels, helped give some kittens shots, brushed 5 horses and a burro, and generally gave the animals lots of attention.


Feeding time 







Lots of building improvements happening


New patio for visitors to JEEP


A friend's niece came along

We walked into town after JEEP to shop because  it is too busy to drive.   I sat along a store front on a ledge waiting for a friend to go to the bank.  There were a few other people doing the same thing.  A lady selling giant fire sparklers with a baby slung in front of her, a few old fellows, another woman waiting for someone.  As I watched the people, cars, buses, delivery trucks, motorcycles, ATV's, chihuahuas, street vendors, bicycles, etc stream by, I thought, what the hell, I'm sitting on a street in Mexico.  Thousands of miles from my spot on our couch in Manitoba.

My friend returned and I waved to a cab "un taxi, por favor".  The cab stopped mid traffic and we piled in while another cabbie quickly came to our aid to load our groceries.  No one beeped their horn or yelled, then off we all went.

We went to the market a few days ago and I took a few photos there.


Chicks anyone? Also some regular colour ducklings.


more fish

No coloured ducklings here today, just -38C and the good this is the smoke is going straight up! Happy New Year and we will see you on the beach in 15 sleeps!
