A public service message

Whenever anyone runs into us lately they ask us how the rig is going.
"Is it done yet?"
"Um... almost," is the best I can do.

I'm not real thrilled with our local La Paz rigger Dawn Rigging (otherwise known as Rig-amortis).  I'm not sure if this is a Mexico (TIM) issue, or what, but shish.

Here's our new rigger at work in 90 degree weather.  He loves it when the panga speedboats come flying in right next to him.




So if anyone asks... Yes, it's moving along.

Loose Ends...

So we're doing alright down here.  Carrie and Tamsyn have been sick (the usual Mexico suspects), and internet has been spotty, and we have also been quite busy trying to get off the dock.

Here are some backlogged pictures.


We did go to Carnival on Fat Tuesday, and had a blast.  Here folks are lining up as the twilight fades.



These guys were very cool, and definitely not from Kansas.



Here's Griffyn armed with one of the fabulous confetti eggs - ready to throw!


The costumes were fun.  This gal must have been warm in all that fur.  It was a hot night.



Rides were next.  Tamsyn and dad did the caterpillar roller coaster and a haunted house, while mom and Griffyn did bumper cars and the cycles.


Griffyn leaned in just like Steve McQueen.


When we don't go to the laundry, we sometimes do a bit in buckets on the dock (with environmentally friendly soap of course).  Here are are laundry employees hard at work.
