things that I stumble upon’s blog

So, after visiting Mexico for the first time last week, I felt that I should post just a couple of pictures of our trip.  I am so happy to have gone with friends.  I love to travel with friends and look forward to doing it again this year. 

The first picture is of the beach and the surrounding buildings.

So the first picture is of the Pacific Ocean and the second is of the historic district of Mazatlan where we stayed - El Centro.  The power plant you see was about 20 miles away and with all the smoke really was shocking but I guess at the same time I know that we here live in a very protected environment unlike our neighbors to the South.  The air there was really not so great.  On the other hand, in these days the dollar wasn't so bad.  What pollution?

Pigeons

I had to add this picture.  It shows a sample of how a house may look there.  In this particular house, the woman was older and felt the need to feed the pigeons everyday at 6:30pm as if it were clockwork.  She also had roosters which I hope they eradicate before we go back.  They crow at all hours - day and night.  Ugh!

Well, I hope to add more pictures as I have a chance.  I have to give a shout out to Kenny at the Olas Altas Steak House for providing not only great food but personal peace.  Thanks Kenny and staff. 

Below are some pictures from the county fair I went to this past weekend.  It was great -even held in the San Francisco County fair building.

Although this was a private event, I feel as though the organizers put on a good show.

This young lad was one of the many Bare Chest Calendar men who were present for the 25th Year Reunion.  They were abundant in size.

What a great day for a great cause.  Thanks again the our friends who made this a great day!

So, I was stumbling around the net tonight and happened upon this site that talks about an old form of media and the new way to capture your audience.  The funny thing is, anyone who drives a vehicle is the target customer.  I say customer because all adds want to spark your interest. 

Read this story first.  Then you will understand my picture below.

Let's hope this helps a person get in better shape.  No, round is not the shape I am thinking of.  hehe

Today, I found a news article about the state of Georgia.  Click the link below to see how laws are passed.  I love the name of the Senator who pushed to pass this bill.

Sometimes, one finds themselves in the kitchen.  I'm not the cook in my house but a few times a year I like to dabble.  This picture reminded me of a time when I lived on Arlington Street.  Thanks to JJ for sending this my way.
