Been catching things up at home.

Sunrise the first morning we were home. Waking up early still on Mazatlan time. It's almost a week we've been home and I'm still having a problem with the time change. I'll probably get used to it just as it is time to change the clocks again. 

Between all the unpacking, doing laundry, going through a months mail and ordering groceries and making doctor's and tax appointments I haven't thought about the blog much. So will start with this and work backward the next few weeks. 

My girlfriend and I managed one walk in the Wetlands since we 've been home. Much to my surprise we did two and a half miles without me getting exhausted. But we walked slow. One of the herons in a place we've never seen one. Guess he likes being alone. 

He is usually in this river. But today there were no herons but there was a white pelican. Just one though. 

There is still snow on the higher mountains. The weather since we've been home has been in the mid 80's, actually warmer than Mazatlan. Cooling down now though in a few days it will be in the mid 60's. I like that better. 

Also in the river this cormorant stretching his wings.

A few of the reeds and some of the trees near the ponds are thinking it is spring already and getting new green growth. Such a quiet and serene area. 

The new header is a picture I took our last time we were in Centro. Almost missed it I was so surprised by what I was seeing. I have a lot more to share about our trip so I have a few more blogs to write as days pass. Today have to go and put gas in the car as tomorrow's doctors appointment is half way across town. And that's it for now. 

We are home

 Very short update. We are home. All planes were on schedule and arrived at destination early. Had 2 1/2 hour layover in Phoenix. Took the time to have something to eat. Arrived in Vegas a few minutes early. We both had wheelchairs all the way. Thank goodness. Our son picked up us right after we got to pick up area. Everything at home is fine. Weather will be warmer than Mazatlan! Today will be spent getting things put away, catching up on mail and ordering groceries. 

Bill was exhausted by the time went to bed. Still sleeping at 8:00 a.m. Very glad to be home. also glad we went. 

Have things to do like order groceries etc. 

Basically just checking in.

We haven't done very much for the last couple of days. Friday Bill didn't feel well most of the day. Only went out for a meal. The prednisone really really makes him sick. He tried taking it at night but then his eyelid drooped about half way through the day. So for two days he's taken it in the morning and almost immediately gets sick. He always takes it after eating. At night he just went to bed and by morning was feeling okay. But..

These were taken Wednesday at dinner at Torres. Had to look it up. 

It finished like this. 

Cruise ship all lit up just came from around the island. 

One afternoon when he was feeling a little better we took a short walk. I think this used to be a social club. It is closed now and she is falling apart. 

This is the famous Fat Fish where we get the RIBS. Went there again on Thursday night. 

This was taken, at same table and restaurant 10 years ago. Size of ribs has changed. New tables and chairs too. 

The plates are now oval instead of round and the meal is more expensive. But still pretty darn cheap and very good. He looks happy. 

Don't know why I was looking so weird. Wondering where to start I guess. The plate in the foreground is Marks .

So now for the elephant in the room. All the unrest in Mexico for those of you who have seen it is quite a ways away from us. Nothing is going on in Mazatlan. The airport is open and flights are going in and out. Thank goodness as we leave here tomorrow. Nothing has been set on fire and life goes on as usual.
