The Rest of The Story

Bugger this site anyway!!  I’m getting more and more annoyed with the way it’s behaving and my inability to get things placed where I want.  Just finished this entry once and started to post photos and had to delete a photo and the whole post deleted and wasn’t saved anywhere I could find.  So, here we go again.

After going for the trip with Lazaro, we had him drop us off in Crucecita again so we could finish our gift shopping.  I took Seamus to the craft museum and store, since I figured he’d like to see the bugs, plants and rocks that they use for dye for the yarn they weave.  He liked that.  They have now started a mezcal tasting bar there too, with a lot of good, natually flavoured mezcals and I tried a few then settled on buying two bottles of the orange flavoured drink to bring home and give to my son and son-in-law.  At the bar they have a bowl of fried crickets that you can snack on.  I’d tried some on my first trip down and wanted Seamus to try some this time.  He wasn’t really enthusiastic, but did try them.  I don’t think he found them as bad as he’d feared, but I doubt he’ll be putting them into his daily diet either.  They don’t taste bad, and are nice and crunchy, but I think could use a touch of salt.

Now I’ll post some random photos of neat stuff, then get on with the tale of the deep-sea fishing expedition.

I hadn't seen this shade before and I love it.
