Leaving Kino Bay






Kino Bay Mexico Leaving
Well yesterday was another shrimp day b ut this time with chicken which I barbequed also. That along with a glass of vino, a salad and some guacamole made the evening just great.
We took a long walk on the beach all the way to the new town pier and then back again. Naturally Bev brought back more seashells than she could carry in her shell bag so I got to help with the effort. We seem to have to collect this endless supply of crustacean shells that lie about the beach here, some things you just do not fathom.
I rearranged the garage again and we did free up some space with all of the unpacking and sorting and “let’s see, why do we even have that here”.
Next I gave the electrician some items that I know we won’t use and this freed up more space so that we can now go out and buy lots more things that are unnecessary. Ah the joys of furnishing a home are always different joys for the man of the house as compared to the woman of the home.
I also got myself a haircut in Kino Bay while I was here. Now this is a real experience you just cn not miss out on. I asked around for a barber shop or una persona querpas mi pello. Well no barber shop but the person to see to do this was Patricia (Patreecia). So off I went in search of Patricia’s salon and after being lost three times finally found it with a faded sign Patricia’s Unisex. She had two people ahead of me and told me to come back in una hora (one hour), which I did faithfully. Next was to decide whether I should have a clipper cut or scissors (you know I just don’t really care about those things). So Patricia you decide what the old guy needs, so scissors it was. Well the room is filled with women and kids all speaking very fast Spanish but I have this grin on my face as they all comment to one another about life in Kino and the strange gringo. She did a really great job on my hair though and for $5.00 it was a real bargain. I shall stop there again when mi pello is long.
Well there was another great sunset over the Sea of Cortez and this was the last one we will see for a short time (need to get back to California and see the grandkids).
Lastly we met with Ariel to go over the list (you know that list of items that still need to be finished before we can really call this somewhat finished). So that didn’t take very long because it was really the same list as last time.
This morning it was put the sheets over things that we did not want to have exposed to the dust, bring in the cushions from the patio furniture, take out the trash and oh yes have another shrimp omelet. Now that was the really good part of the morning.
We packed up the Jeep with the few things that we were going to bring home. That is another nice thing about going here is that you do not need to pack and unpack. All your clothes, toothbrush and comb are already here for you when you arrive, and just leave them here when you go home.
The trip to Tucson was uneventful and the RV was waiting for us when we arrived. So tonight it was decided on to go for a brunch at the Diamond Casino and then head out for Quartzsite in the morning. Well that’s all from the travelers for now and next you here from us we may be home in Redlands.
