Peace and more blues.....



Saturday 2 great things happened - Pearl and Elna arrived from Victoria, and it was another Peace Day in Puerto Morelos. Goyo organized a morning silent walk on the beach, and then an evening of peaceful music in the square, finishing off with Lennon's song, Imagine, sung by everyone in a big circle around the gazebo. Powerful stuff.












Pearl and Elna got all settled in at Amar Inn, and then came into town to join us at Lau's for the Men in Blues, with our usual gang and our friend Kevin, who came in from a layover in Cancun (he flies with Canjet)








This is a dreadful picture, my aplogies, but Elna and Pearl were dancing up a storm and I was trying to avoid other dancers to get a shot.












Kevin, Valorie and Ken all enjoyed the music, and danced their buns off. I know it seems sometimes that all we do is party, but really, we have many nights at home just reading or lounging by the pool.....!

more blues in town





Good news - Cooker John is back in town for another winter, and he packed the house on Friday night at David Lau's!













We gathered Les, Sharon, Valorie, Ken and Les's friend Graham for a fun evening of music and dancing.











John had a great band with him, with musicians from California, Minnesota and of course Puerto Morelos.












John Cooker has a gentle old style blues, almost Dylanesque in his style, and has a firm following when he comes every winter.
