Shine on Yellow Moon

Good Monday Morning ...

I couldn't write last night because I was busy watching the Hockey Game .... Kings & Sharks .
I cheer for both teams ! It still seems odd, watching the moon rise from my Palapa, and not only just listening to the game, but seeing it live on my computer.  Any locals walking by must wonder whats going on, as I am yelling " shoot , shoot the puck you idiot !! "
I'm a very vocal participant !

And speaking of the moon ... one of the prettiest I've seen ... huge and yellow.  Watching and waiting for it to appear over the hillside, is pure joy.  We don't get the reflection on the water this time of year, but it's still awe inspiring.  Once the rains come we won't see the full moon
much as it's usually dark and overcast.

And rain will be here soon.  Everyday it gets more humid and grey clouds muster up river, but it'll still be a while until the rain gods bless us ... so in the meantime ...it's still the bucket brigade, up & down the hill trying to keep everything alive ...

I'm on my way to the big city this morning ... 11:00 o'clock to Boca.  I'll stay in for a few days.
A little shopping and R&R.  Watch a little TV and brush up on my Spanish !

Fishing is getting better.... Sierra and Amber Jack.  Two of my favorites.  Hopefully Lily will
get some of her favorite, Chora, today.  

It's hot and getting hotter.  Humidity is high.  Finishing up in the Casita yesterday, packing everything away and piling furniture and wrapping it all up in a tarp.  I have an old fan up there, loud as can be, but I couldn't work without it.  I'm getting used to it, all this sweating.
I was soaked through by the time I finished.  You do not want to go out anywhere and forget your hanky or towel, or hand fan.  Riding the bus in PV is brutal. I'll be taking the car on my errands tomorrow !

This Saturday is Marinaro Day.  Biggest party of the year, June 1 st. in memory of those
fisherman who have lost their lives at sea. The day begins at 9:00 am at the church, with the Priest blessing any and all fishing rods and spear guns, the the floatilla, then the boat race/egg fight, then the party starts.  Music and dancing and beer and food. 
The playita is packed with people, and these last few years there are people coming from PV and area to join in.  After the party is over , when the beer is all gone ( last year over 200 cases ) around 5 :00 pm, everyone heads up to the Rodeo up river.  Everyone but me that is....
Last year the young man died when he fell off a bull.  I don't suppose that's going to stop anyone this year .  A very tragic accident.

I better get a move on. I'll have lots to report next week, and will include more pictures.

I will try to post a pic of last years party, with the guys trying to climb the greased pole,
to reach the money and bottles of tequila tied to the top.  Slightly dangerous, but tons of fun to watch.

I hope everyone is doing well and excited for summer holidays.  I know I am !!

all the best ...
