An internet Connection, finally!!!!

Hello friends:  It has been a while since our last post. Internet connections have been slow in the areas we have visited, thus the delay in posting. We have visited many sites since then, met new Pangueros and eaten many seafood fare.

While in Guerrero Negro ( Black Warrior), the whale capitol of the world, we were invited to collect lobster from the traps and taste a lobster ceviche prepared on board the panga like no other!!!! We also were invited to spend the night with the lobstermen on an island. We helped them conduct surveillance for any lobster poachers, while enjoying "chocolata" clams, carne asada, and lobster burritos. We slept on the veranda in sleeping bags under a full moon and star lit sky. The most remarkable experience that night was my friend "Marvin" the mouse, who decided to run across my head a few times while I napped.

Luis and Tomas, two dedicated lobstermen. They work everday day of the week, no matter rain or shine to harvest the lobster during a very short season.

The catch of the day......

Gaby the lobsterman prepares the ceviche...

Enjoying the finished product... a mixture of fresh lobster tails, chile serrano, onion, sea salt, pepper, clamato juice, chopped tomato and soy sauce all on a crisp tostada overlooking the Pacific ocean with a sea breeze in your hair.

On the island with the lobster surveillance lobstermen and Eleazar cooking up carne asada, clams, lobster and cornucopia of seafood fare.

Our accomodations or the night.

Our local host for the night.....

Who needs Kitchenaid when you have recyclable Sunny Delight containers? Starbucks? I don't think so.....

Our two guard dogs and tremendous crab and lobster eaters- " Burro" and "Guiraguica". They did little to protect me from Marvin the Mouse. I guess they are in cahoots????

Marvin apparently fell into one of the icechests and was unable to get out. After a stern reprimand on how to better treat tourists, we let him go.... Until next time....

We are off to Bahia Asucncion and Punta Abreojos.
