the trip down here, part uno
A couple of hours south of Mazatlan and 40 minutes from nowhere, Teacapan is a small, clean, birder's paradise known for it's shrimp "the size of kittens"- truly the creepiest image I've been given this month. Flamingoes in distant coves that I didn't have time to see and plantations of banana, coconut, and pineapple I did. We drove through last week to look at a house and stayed for lunch at a comedore on the beach.
A nice enough house, no gardens, cheap tile- not brightly colored Mexican tile just cheesy. The best part about the place was the second lot where we could have put in a pool and a casita for guests. It seemed like a lot of work and we're not really in the market for a lot of work right now.
These are the boats that catch the kitten sized shrimp.

Hi Cathie,
It was great to hear from you. I've been thinking of you and wondering if you'd headed south yet - I guess the answer is yes, and not a minute too soon from the sound of it! :) Hopefully you're settling in to your new surroundings and are able to enjoy the adventure together.
It sounds like you found a decent place to stay while you find a more permanent home - and good job on the negotiation skills - I knew your career would pay off one day!
Good luck with your house hunting. I know that can be stressful - I can't even imagine trying to do it in a foreign country.
Watch out for those kitten-sized shrimp and have fun! I'll keep you in my prayers.
love,
Sally
