San Juanico - Sunday April 11, 2010

This morning (April 11, 2010) I am looking towards First.  Not much action so far, but I'm sure the day will bring something exciting.

Last week was busy around town.  The big news is that several of the streets were graded.

Ah....you don't even need shocks now.....very nice ride!

Los Burros mascot out for a jog.

'Skippy' found a new place to perch.  "Here Skippy".

Yesterday at First....one of the sets.

We had a nice gallery of folks on the beach.

The 'Drive and Surf' Team.

Yep, SJ's finest!

Our, 'Walk and Surf' team.

Some nice sets came in.

Howie having a moment.

 What a way to end the week.

Yahooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Cynthia calls this the 'Pink Moment',  I didn't believe her, but, it really is!  Hope you all had a wonderful Sunday.

Thanks John!

The Community Garden in San Somewhere.

 Howie has been working very hard on this effort for over three years.  Along with Tom Smith, who contributed his talents and a few other dedicated folks, this has turned into a wonderful addition to the food supply in SJ.

 Imagine, fresh onions, carrots, tomatoes, beets, beans, spinach, corn, radishes and various types of lettuces...all grown locally.

 Here, Angie shows off some of the beans that were harvested this morning.

 What a bounty of fresh vegetables!   As this is a 'Cooperative Garden Effort', it is supported by a few, 'major patrons' and some of the local residents.

 The yearly fee to participate  is $100. USD per couple or $50. USD for a single.  Each bag is 50 pesos for members, 70 pesos for non-members, but non-members are not guaranteed that any vegetables will be available.  Everyone is encouraged to use only what they need for the week.  This is not a new concept; check out the following link;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_gardening, but a very unique effort here in Baja Sur.

 Who ever thought you'd get excited over spinach?  I use to hate it growing up.    If you lived here full-time you'd really appreciate fresh spinach for sure!

 Lovely carrots (are carrots lovey or are they just really good for you?).

 Something to brighten this week's salad.

Let the baggin' begin!

It looks like it was a good day shopping for Dustin at the garden in San Somewhere.

The pictures and comments are from a long time resident of San Juanico, John Fields. April 2010.  We appreciate him sharing it with us.  We know that there aren't any 'surf' pictures....but..... veggies are important to a healthy surfer's body.
