Heading To Guaymas!

I am guessing camera was set on self-timer.

What fun! And note the obviously placed water bottles to give it a nice wholesome touch (we know they're really filled with tequila...).

Have a great time, and please give my warmest regards to Douglas! And make sure he shows you his pearl crown...

The scotch is just to the right. Jeremy actually moved it out of the shot!

Dinner, a whole snapper and chile rellenos stuffed with shrimp! Yum!!!




Douglas being Douglas...


On the farm...

And exhausted, but happy, we have a nightcap...

So glad that you are having such a well deserved wonderful time. Thanks for sharing. This is better than Calgon!

Thanks! We got our butts wet on the boat today. Actually, I got most of my lower half wet, but it was well worth it. Then we went and ate street tacos -- yum!

 

[Ramona]

Thank you! This helps over some boring work until is is late enough to go home. I wish I were there.

 

[jshepherd]

It's been a great trip so far! The food (and company) has been especially great. We are also learning a lot about Doug's operation down here.

Don't tell me Douglas is all out of pearls until the 2010 harvest----Please, so show me the pearls! LOL Tthe food looks fabulous!

 

[jshepherd]

I've taken a lot of pics, but can't upload them from here. Blaire will have to post some pearl pics!

 

[GemGeek]

Okay, okay, here are some pearls...

 

[Ramona]

I love the ring an the pendant! Beautiful.

 

[pattye]

Blaire,

Thank you soooo much! Those pics are just wonderful! Beautiful designs! And those mabe rings---so many different overtones! Amazing how the pearls look just as beautiful in gold or silver---------------

 

[ShashiRatna]

Beautiful pearls. I wish I was there too. And the food!!! - I love Chilie Relleno - and with shrimp!!! Hmmnn - my mouth is watering.

[Nora]

The thickness of the nacre is very impressive. Is that your hand, Jeremy?

 

[Hanaleimom]

Thank you for sharing photos of your trip and the pearls. Are those mabe rings on silver? Why are there 2 ends sticking out of some rings? They look too short to be curled into spirals like the others?

 

[GemGeek]

Nora, it's my hand, but it does look like a "man hand" in the photo because it's kind of curled up to keep the pearl from flipping over.

Cathy, actually, I just had another look at the picture. When viewed from above the wires look more squiggly and it makes more sense.

Right now the signal is too low to post more photos, but I will post more when I get a chance.

 

[Nerida]

I love the ring an the pendant! Beautiful.

me too, me too....

I am jealous...

Side pearl ruckus trip??????

We talked about that, but it would be a trip to visit the pearl farm more than a ruckus.
