Thursday, Friday outings

Dec 6, 2013

So, instead of our usual World Vision purchase of two goats this year, we found a very rewarding alternative... buy local!
At 22 pesos a kilo, our regular donation went much farther and our sweet little hard working  family have added to their herd and on their way to independence and dreams of a little home for themselves in the future
Here Julia ( pronounced Hoo Lee a) claps and calls the owner's herd for us. Alex, her husband, is off, working hard on their property to get it ready for when they become self sufficient owner/herders.

Three baby goats are Christmas gifts from our grandchildren and as many adults that bring the weight to 54 kilos will be from the adults in our family. I wanted to give them the names of our family members but they have a very serious recording system of letters and numbers to ensure a healthy and good sized next generation. no worries.... G 3 will be Garrett, D6 will be Drayson and K2 will be Kaiya!!!!   

A bike ride back from Julia"s via the laguna to Esmerelda's for the weekly bridge group, up to three tables today!




a possibility if our place on Cedro, for some reason , is not available


These folks are pros, we are learning soooo much!

Fridays bike ride to the far side of Isla de Navidad


from the back side of the golf course at Grand Bay





The excavator guy said this beach was being leveled and there would be a huge palapa constructed





could this become Wreck beach?

all that concrete stair work to an abandoned beach











Mountain goat!!!
