Cabo, Mazatlan, Puerto Vallarta, etc.

We like Cabo, and have visited on several occasions including two Panama Canal cruises. We are also fans of Mazatlan, but lately that city has had troubles with the cartels.

I just noticed I mis-read it, you cruised the Mexican Riviera.

I hear you. Sometimes the themes can be hard to determine a direction to follow. 🙂

That is suck a bummer. I never knew that the birds ate the buds. We had problems with all our fruit trees in CA. I’m sure we had very healthy birds. I just thought I what I can do for your LAPC topic of change. I’ve been thinking about it all week. So much has changed in the last couple of years, but my problem was how to show it. Or I could go an entirely different direction. hmmmm.

There were plenty of buds in December when I got here. The grackles appear to like to eat them. There are virtually none left. In previous years, this tree has produced wonderfully juicy and flavorful oranges.

That’s weird. Our good friends in CA live in an orange grove that is over 100 years old and still producing. It was originally planted by her great uncle who had moved from the LA basin in about 1912. They have about five acres left out of hundreds. They operate the home as an Air BNB. Most of our friends in Woodlake have oranges. It’s a little banana belt encircled by mountains, so just a bit warmer than all the agricultural area surrounding it. However, it seems that Scottsdale/Phoenix would be similar with all the mountains surrounding the valley. It certainly never gets very cold there. So what is causing the lack of buds, I wonder.
