Cruising with the crew of CALOU on the Baja Ha-ha and Pacific Puddle Jump
Then, we visited the market in Melaque several times, went to celebrate sweet Debbie's Birthday from s/v Sailor's Run in Santiago Bay.
We rented a car to go to Colima. We stayed at Hotel Ceballo on the beautiful square. In the evening, we were entertained by the Festival Cultural de Colima with colorful dance from each State in Mexico. In the morning, we drove to Sichutlan to visit a local wooden mask maker, stopped at a coffee cooperative and saw the volcano spewing ash.
Casa Alvarada
After that, we checked in Casa Alvarada in Comala a wonderful Bed and breakfast. We were prepared for the Botanas at the square under the arches. One can go there order a beer and they will keep on bringing you FREE Mexican appetizers until you ask them to stop! We retired at The Casa for a siesta we were so full!!
The next we drove back to the Grand Bay which took about 1 hour and a half. On the 27th, we celebrate my brother in law's at Banana's in Barra where they have delicious and tender Filet Mignon.
After my sister and her husband flew back to France on March 2nd our friends Lisa and Steve came for a visit for a week. They stayed at the Grand Bay. We had a fun week with them walking on the beach, doing Karaoke, going to Antonio's, playing games, and hanging out at the pool.
Cabo Blanco
Now, our friends Debbie and Jeff are back in Barra for a little while for fun times together.
