Swimming with the fishies

All this rain makes me want to go swimming.  Have a great weekend everyone.

Sunset in Rosarito

I had a very peaceful 4 days visiting my parents in Primo Tapia Mexico near Rosarito. They moved into a community called Mission Viejo. Inspite of the many warnings that the US gives about crossing the border, I find that if you scare yourself and listen to all the media, you are missing out on a sweet gem in Mexico. Living close to LA, there are many many crimes that happen everyday and don't get as much hype as Mexico does. Yes there is danger in Mexico, but isn't it dangerous just about everywhere? Be smart, and stay away from bars, clubs, drugs and you will be just fine.

My Mexican seashells finally find their home

I have finally found a jar worthy of my Mexico memories. The Encinata shores were lined with gorgeous sea shells from two summers ago. I vacationed there in the summer on a beach house and couldn't resist plucking these beauties from the sea. Anyone else fancy seashells as much as I do?

Sea Shell, Sea Shell,Sing me a song,

O Please!A song of ships, and sailor men,

And parrots, and tropical trees,

Of islands lost in the Spanish Main

Which no man ever may find again,

Of fishes and corals under the waves,

And seahorses stabled in great green caves.

Sea Shell, Sea Shell,

Sing of the things you know so well.
