Thanksgiving 2014

We celebrated Thanksgiving in traditional fashion this year. We got an early start at the Sparks Turkey Trot.  The events included a 10K race and a two mile walk around the Sparks Marina.  Here we are getting ready for the start.  Can you guess who ran and who walked?

That's right Peter and Roque breezed through the 10K and and Calvin kept me company as I strolled around the marina.
Here are the runners at the start...

and here they are 10K later at the finish looking just as relaxed.

Mid day we put together a traditional meal of turkey, stuffing, cranberry relish, sweet potatoes with marshmallows, green bean casserole and pumpkin pie.

We went to movie in the evening and I declared it to be a very satisfying Thanksgiving Day.  Still not quite the same as tacos on the beach, but a good day nonetheless.

Sayulita 2014

Turkey Day is lurking just around the corner and this year I don't get to spend the day eating tacos on the beach.  Of course we got to celebrate Halloween in Sayulita this year, so I have no room to complain. 

We spent most of the week hanging out here...

and occasionally we would bestir ourselves to watch the green iguana eat all the hibiscus flowers.Trust me, the iguana is in there, but he is green.

Once in a while we'd hike through the jungle to find a beach without a crowd.

And as a grand finale we watched the Halloween celebrations in the square from a balcony restaurant.

It was a great trip, but I'll still miss Thanksgiving tacos on the beach.
