One of our local Valley Springs residents

Driving to Mesa, ran into a dust storm – pretty scary!

Our friend Tennessee Mike was in town with the band he drives for, got to party on the rock star bus

Have really taken an interest in Pickleball this year so bought a new paddle

Friends visiting us in Mesa – Eric Morris, Diana, Danya

Beautiful sunsets, and sunrises

Making our own Christmas ornaments at our local hangout

Susan stubbed her toe so hard she broke her foot

One more sunset

Back to Mexico, was kind of cold and rainy in AZ so very nice to be in the warm weather. Our favorite street food – Tacos Al Pastor

Gringo jam party at Hotel Cabo Blanco with our friends Nick, Kathleen, Becky and Mike

Pickleball party, appreciation for one of the organizers who works so hard

One of the local kids enjoying the sport, fun for all ages

Carlos Santana cover band out on the Malecon, beautiful evening

Great restaurant and art gallery

“Um, you didn’t need these flowers did you?”

Bronze medal in my first ever PB tournament, prize of pickled vegetables

Some pics of the house we are renting next year in Barra De Navidad

Another Pickleball party – helping one of the players out who owns a restaurant in town, specializes in Water Buffalo Hamburgers

Had to celebrate national margarita day

Beautiful Grand Bay Hotel

Susan bought a funky bag, made by local women who are learning a sewing trade

Back up in Tucson AZ, saw this interesting wall art – Calaveras means skulls

2nd Pickleball tournament, took the gold medal! (just played in my 3rd tournament and didn’t win a single game, so still figuring this all out)

Took a shuttle trip to a planetarium and there was an awesome mineral museum in the basement

Big street party on 4th Avenue here in Tucson

Back to Valley Springs May 1, then have a big trip planned for this summer/fall
