The past few days I’ve been working on some things in the morning while Ali takes the kids on excursions, or just hangs out at home. In the afternoons we tend to just hang out at the bus playing mud coffee, or lock Papa up in jail, or coloring, or whatever kids without a care in the world feel like doing. Pretty laid back.
The locals. Always on the hunt for gold.
A while ago I referenced the battle the businesses along this stretch of coast are fighting against the ocean. You can see the rickety looking cement wall they’ve hastily constructed just beyond that that other wall that has busted right off as the sand it was built upon washed away. One good storm and all of this stuff will wash away once again.
I’m not sure why we even attempt family photos.
We hiked up to the lighthouse again. It’s always fun to see if the cat is still there. For what, three of four years now, every time we’ve hiked up here there has been a friendly white and tan cat hanging out at the halfway mark meowing for all the world to hear. Today there were a couple of gringos fawning over it, and worrying over it as well. You could tell they were debating amongst themselves whether to “save” this cat, or what they could do to help it. We told them it had been there for years, which seemed to put their minds at ease.
Seriously. Family photos.

You always seem to capture the kid’s energy level in the pictures. Very good.

Yes, and there were times when you both (Ali and you) looked tired. I know the feeling!
Those are the kind of family photos we expect really. The kind that “care free” people look like
The skateboarding photo is awesome.
Where are the locals ? especially children? Ouest should be fluent
mexican/spanish by now. Ask Lowe if he will put together some investors
on that building,the kids need to get fluent while its natural and not
forced memory.so while the building is being referbed,they can lean.It;s
a huge plus they are mexican cirizens.
Thank you for posting such an eloquent comment, Michael.
Hi guys. I just posted on a page of yours maybe four back, as I’m not sure you look at those; however, I just wanted to tell you about a film I watched on Netflix called ‘BAREFOOT’ starring Evan Rachel Wood and Scott Speedman. The other star of the film, (it didn’t get very good reviews), was this Dodge Travco that was one of the rarest motor homes on the planet and it looked just like the current ‘BUMFUZZLE’, (Minus the bumper and luggage rack). Really the star of the film in my estimation, but check it out if you can, as the resemblance is uncanny! paint color and everything! I actually thought the film was alright, just a little pedestrian. Love your website and the photos. Regards, Stew
