Feeding frenzy


Today swarms of fish seemed to come to the surfing area of Playa Bruja:



The pelicans somehow figured this out and assembled by the hundreds, mingled with the surfers and were dive bombing for fish like crazy.




Quite a spectacle reminding me times where I still attended meetings - at the times the doors opened to the banquet halls with food-laden buffets and bars.

Weather Comparison


Where is the better weather - in St. Vincent or Mazatlan - from the 13th of January 2009 onward??
St. Vincent nice and warm even at night, lo humidity, howling winds and clouds plus rain. In Mazatlan nice and warm midday, pretty cool at night (and accordingly of course also cool in the mornings and evenings) and only little wind and no trace of rain, few clouds, a bit more humid? I guess it depends whether or not you you close your eyes, are inside or out, have warm clothes at hand and an umbrella. Certainly things are growing nicely in St. Vincent - here in Mazatlan there has been only one rainfall since October (see blog below).

Ah well, the trick is to try and be content with what you have.
Like the folks in Yellowknife!

Christmas Dancers

Let's try to insert a short video this time - showing a short clip from a video I did of the Salvation Army Xmas performance at the Park, all done by the kids from the group home. The link for the full video (45 MB) is this: http://www.screencast.com/t/yT0YMkRUC9Q

This following video is a "Northern" State dance, and the one below is from Jalisco, the state where the Mariachi bands developed.
