Summer in Mexico

Roy Purcell is a local man.  He's also the artist that painted the huge rock behind Chloride.  He's a writer and artist.  The Mohave County Museum had a celebration for him today

Along with the Kudo's for Roy, the Hualapai Tribe was in attendance.  The Museum identified some of the authentic artifacts that are part of their history.  They came in this morning in full dress, danced and did a cleansing ceremony.  The museum has made up a beautiful glass display of the pieces. They will remain here for a month, then will go to the new Cultural Center in Peach Springs.

Roy was the second executive direct of this museum.  Since then, he's gone on to bigger and better things. He owns and operates several galleries around the State. A very interesting person, and has worked hard for the community. This picture was presented to him this morning, and will hang here in the Museum.

La Posa.  Took this for Bill and Barb.  This is where they spend the Winter in Quartzsite.  Not a vehicle in sight now!

Early morning in Algodones, Mexico.  The street food vendors aren't all open yet

Pat had some Nachos for breakfast

Cheese, guacamole, and 3 salsas on the side. Served with hot homemade tortillas and a Coke Light!

Jose seemed happy and surprised to see his "Winter" customers show up.

Sun in the eyes!   Jose and Redd

A street painter.  About half the normal vendors were still open

He does real nice work.  He'll paint about anything on about anything for you

This Mexican was very interested in Pat's umbrella.  He looked it over carefully, with the idea of making them and selling them here.

A lot of the Winter Snowbirds that come across the Border eat here. Because it has a nice front.  The food is better farther back into the local area where the tourists don't go.

Early afternoon on our porch.  Later it got up to 112.  Suppose to be 114 later this week.

Jim (wrong turn) and KT's place.  The Oleander is blooming!

It's growing fast!

Janet, this picture is for you!  Everything looks fine at your place.

In the shade of these Salt Cedars, is the resting place for our "Girls".  Rosie and Julie are both here.

Someone has done a nice job of cleaning up the Pet Cemetary.  It's on tribal land, with NO TRESPASSING signs all over, but we went back here any way. We were stopped on the way out by a Border Patrol truck that wanted to know why we were back there.

Picture in my eye Doctor's office. I like it

Eye Glasses resting on colored clouds

Still some vendors out, but not many customers.  This is a sidewalk

Just under that Plaza Portal is the best Fish Tacos and Tamales in town.  They are excellent!!!

Tury's has been adding more stores and remodeling the old ones. They are my preferred Pharmacy. There are literally hundreds of others over here

Priced 3 shops for eye glasses before choosing this one.  Recommend by an acquaintance  in the Pharmacy that I sort of trust :-)  Nice people in here, good price and service. They have a dentist and an optometrist in the same business. We have a different Dentist that we like already

New Corbin seat for the Kawasaki Vaquero motorcycle.  The knife is interchangeable with a Carbine or AK47

One of several young ladies in the office.  Close to closing time, she's mopping the already spotless floor.  Most of the dental offices are every bit as good as those North of the Border

Between Quartzsite and Parker.  I was listening to the NASCAR race in the Sirius Radio, Pat took a nap.  It was 112 at a bank in Quartzsite when we went by.
