Wow ... small islands of Jellyfish in the bay.
Remarkable thing to see, except it freaks me out to look down there for too long.Someone studying Jellyfish, and / or the mystery of life wood have been in " hog heaven " !
If you want to know what I'm talking about, Google Jelly fish, and look for the see thru, triple decker pink ones !
They were in PV too, but it looks like they have moved on,
hopefully.
It's 7:00 am on Monday morning and there is a man, on a loudspeaker, at the beach, playing Polka music.
Maybe it's the Jukebox that used to be in one of the
Palapa restaurants. It isn't crazy loud, but it sure sounds like a party ... or just they way they like to start their day, I guess ...that's why we love it ...
The new Queen of Yelapa has been crowned ! She lives in the beach neighbourhood ! I didn't see a thing, or get one photo !
It was to start at 7 , so I got there about 20 after, and only 12 people there, so I ate my delicious Tamalaes and had the hot
drink, Atole ( sp ), and then there was 20 people there !
I should have come home and had an hour nap, because I pooped out at 8:45, when the front seats were filling up with
Judges and Sponsors ! The show began around 9:15, just when I was at home putting on my PJ's !
Yelapa Time ... Live and Learn till you get it right ...
I did get to visit with some kids and meet some parents and
saw some young friends all dressed up. One told me the next day she got home early, 1:30, when I asked the other what time she got home, with a sly grin, in English, she replies, Five . That was the start of a long Fiesta season, the kick off
to Samana Santa, Holy Week in Mexico. The tents will start to go up on the beach, the speakers will be set up, and the
Church Bells will ring !! Pollo Bollo will be open only 2 days this week ... there is a lot going on .... not to mention ...
the Full moon and Lunar Eclipse ! Sure hope it warms up around here. It's still to early to pack my toque away, it's a
morning necessity, until that sun comes over the hill that is.
I had an extremely large bruise on my leg the past few weeks and when one of the local woman saw me she suggested I melt some Arnica, int eh sun and add a cap full of Alchol (the rubbing kind ) and soak it up with the gauze, and apply to my bruise ! Miracle workers every where ... I felt relief instantly,
and the bruise began to disappear promptly. The very next day, another amiga on the path made a comment, and I said Arnica, she asked,"con alchol", and gave me the" Que Bueno" look of approval, and reassurance when I replied " si ".
That's why we love it ...
Usually I have a string of coloured lights on in the mornings
but lately I've been keeping them off, since they are attracting tiny tini hummingbirds. I can hear their wings flapping as they go bird crazy over the red ones, but the lights are hot and I wouldn't want one of them to get to close, or bite one ? they must have a brain in there, to know the difference, but I wouldn't want to find out.
The ANTS are everywhere and eating everything ( refer to
poem Yelapa Creatures ! ) They ate another pot of red flowers last night. Trying the hair trick again ? Put new D batteries in my Mega Lite to look for their hole tonight, assisted by the full moon ...I am planning to be up at 2: 00 am, which is when the eclipse will happen here, I think.
I'll keep more news about school and bugs till next week...
Enjoying my camera, and hope you all do too.
The moon shines bright in the midnight sky
sending my love to you !!
