Bahia de Kino

We took 3 days and went north up the coast to Bahia de Kino. It is about an hour and half drive from Guaymas. What a welcomed break, full of relaxation and laughter with Tito and Judy. There is a cultural difference in Kino, as the Seri Indians settlements are nearby. They are the only Indians in all of Mexico that chose not to be referred to as Mexicans. Fishing is a way of life in Kino. Enjoy the pictures.

Yes, I believe I could get use to this!

The days catch.

Harvesting the days catch. These fishermen work hard. They are up before dawn preparing the boats and nets, and are out on the water at sunrise. This was about 3 in the afternoon. 





Everyone gets involved.

Dinner! Fresh fish and veggies. De Colores!

The sunrises are as spectacular as the sunsets.

Lucy came to church this morning in this beautiful shawl. I told her how lovely she looked and she took the shawl off, wrapped it around my neck and said it is a gift for you. I tried to give it back and was quickly told by others that I was required to accept it. I was completely overwhelmed with emotion. The generousity of the people here is amazing. I  will forever cherish this gift and what it meant to her to give it to me.

After church Oscar took us for a walk to the large market in the center of the city, where it we observed people shopping, eating, and enjoying the Sunday. We then went to enjoy lunch at a small out of the way Mom and Pop restaurant that he was familiar with. The next photo is of our lunch.

Shrimp, manta, and aleta soup. Yes, manta ray. Aleta is the fin of the fish.
"Where the Lord leads, I will follow.
What the Lord feeds, I will swallow."
It was an interesting soup and quite filling.

We have tomatoes, peppers, cucumber, cilantro, and sunflowers planted in our yard. We are going to enjoy these cherry tomatoes very soon.

We went out to the village on Monday to check on the progress on rebuilding the wall. Thanks to your generous support, it looks like the wall should be up by weeks end.

Happy Birthday Judy!
