Here are some pics of the campground we are staying in. The yellow building is what the condos look like, upstairs and downstairs, some with kitchen, some just a hotplate or microwave and fridge. To the right of the building, what looks like a garage is a little chapel where you can go for some 'time out', with a little altar and candles. The right picture shows the way to the beach, we are off on the left of the picture (not our BBQ, but the neighbours with the nasty chihuahua).
It's a nice little place and everyone is friendly. Mixed folks, old and young families. The kids spent all day in the water on their boogieboards with new friends, Megan's found a friend who is the same age as her, from San Francisco, and Ryan gets along with the girls brother who is a few years younger but who cares. They all get along great. That family has been coming here for almost 10 years already. Many folks here are returning customers, most staying from 1 to 5 or 6 months! Some people have a house here which they rent out and they live in the camping themselves, cheap living and a good income, the house is rented out pretty much all the time. Their girls go the the new American school here in town. There's on in P.V. too, by the cruiseship docks. The kids' new friends are homeschooled as well, but in their first year and doing some "school at home" and thus here on holidays as well.
I played bocciball today - the whole family is into it now. Looks like we'll stay here through the tournament on monday and finales on tuesday, followed by a fishfry and prizes, prizes, prizes. Sounds interesting.
Another popular game here is pingpong - 2 tables now and some fierce competition! It's nice (say the older people) to have some young kids involved. We get a lot of comments on how wonderful it is to see our kids get along with all ages here in the "pueblo". I blame it on homeschooling... :o)
Earl's getting a little wonderlust, wants to go explore. We may go do some exploring in the next couple of days, but the van is hooked up to laundry lines and such....seems like a lot of work....
