Dancing in the square...!

A fabulous dance troupe came to PM the other night to perform the native dances from many regions around Mexico. Every state has its own unique costuming and style of dancing, and these 12 people did an amazing job of demonstrating them all!








There were men and women in a variety of groupings, but I just loved all these colourful women's dresses.........














Fabulous dancing.......





and at one point several dancers came into the audience and got people up to dance with them. Here is Robin with his dance partner.........
















He did really well doing the steps...........












After the dancers were finished, there was an impressionist who sang and did a variety of personalities the locals all knew......we retired to the bar for a drink and listened from afar.....








Took Botas for a walk on the beach this week and a meet and greet with Robin and Steve's 2 dobermans.....yah, that didn't last very long, our boy has fear and socialization issues - but he LOVES the sand, the water and running himself silly on the beach......









As this was the beach in town, I just had him on a leash, not his usual long rope we use at south beach where there are no dogs and few people. Soon his new Dad Josh will be here doing his walks.........











Botas waiting patiently with his favourite ball for Josh.........

Jypsy and the beach bar.......

Newly composed band in town......Jypsy.......made up of Peter Pope, guitar and vocals, Aniko on violin and vocals and Stein on percussion. Great blend of musicians with a unique sound!!!












Peter is from England/Mexico, Aniko is from Hungary, and Stein is from Norway.....truly an international group!!!













Jypsy now plays Wed. afternoons at the Beach Bar and Sundays at Cantina Habarneros!!











New and improved Beach Bar....now called Unico.....is twice the size, great swing seats, nice bar, and lots of comfy chaises and palapas to sit under.










Licensing issues delayed the opening of this great bar but now that it is open, it is being well used. We went down with Murielle for an afternoon - picnic lunch from home, margaritas from the bar, and lots of sun.....!











Miki and Murielle under the palapa (40 pesos for the day) and we brought our own chairs. The chaises rent for another 40 p each.













Great spot on the beach..........











and such a beautiful beach it is......spent lots of time in the warm water..........









this is one of two wooden walkways being built as public access to the beach. A huge stucture with room to bring your chair and watch the sunrise or sunset.....and both stairs and handicapped ramp.....yay!!! For when we are in our wheelchairs 20 years from now........










Here is the walkway from the road.....really excellent work and design. We love that all our beaches are open to the public.....no "private" beaches in the area at all.
