LYRID METEOR SHOWERS
Every year in late April Earth passes through the dusty tail of Comet Thatcher (C/1861 G1), and the encounter causes a meteor shower--the Lyrids. This year the shower peaks on Thursday morning, April 22nd. The best time to look, no matter where you live, is during the dark hours before dawn. Forecasters expect 10 to 20 meteors per hour visible from dark-sky sites.
Lyrid meteors appear to stream from the bright star Vega in the constellation Lyra:

     Did you ever want to run off and join the Circus?  
Well  you don’t have to run any farther than our backyard here in Todos Santos.  Teatro Luna Azul will be hosting a Beginner Circus/Acrobatic Workshop that will help total novices discover their Circus skills.  
     For two afternoons  (Saturday April 16 and Sunday April 17, 2011) two highly skilled and talented Acrobatists, Dulce Chavez from Mexico and Katjusa Kovacic from Eastern Europe will be teaching partners acrobatics (two people balancing one above the other), floor acrobatics (Basic tumbling, handstand and stretching) aerial acrobatics on the hoop and silks.  There will also be some theater skills taught by Director Isabel Smyth to help budding performers  create characters and improve their overall performance.  Everything within a safe and professional environment.
     Both Dulce and Katjusa received their training from the ‘National Chinese Circus School in Beijing’. Come have fun and enjoy this unique mix of European and Mexican styles that also incorporates Chinese Fundamentals.

     Still worrying about getting your US income taxes filed?  Looking for an easy way to get the work done without leaving Mexico? 

     I've just had my taxes done by Marian Wellman, www.taxesinmexico.com, who has lived in Mexico for seven years, and has been doing US income taxes for 28 years.  We handled everything by email and phone, I never had to leave my living room, and my taxes are e-filed and completely finished.

c.  The aquarium in our Sea of Cortez has ushered in what may be the largest population of Manta Rays ever seen in our plankton rich, warm waters. On March 15 there was a flying train of determined rays reaching from south of La Ribera all the way to Buena Vista. The once enormous school has separated into dense populations now spotted for miles, jumping and leaping from the water as though Neptune has turned the water to boil. Heavily concentrating offshore from Punta Pescadero toward Rancho Pescadero, on Wednesday’s return fishing trip it made sense to join them - just jump overboard and swim – get in their midst and see what happens. Holy Manta, Batman, it was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. First, the current offshore is strong, fast; second, the deep blue sea is…deep. Even as a scuba diver, jumping in knowing there’s no bottom, steels your nerve. But then, the bottom does appear, one made up of thousands of gliding rays, moving wing tip to wing tip like an undersea symphony, stacked, streamlined and completely, without a doubt, unconcerned by my presence. In fact, I felt like one of them. Kicking with my long dive fins they were so close and pressed tight all around, I realized we were indeed moving very fast. Up close in their midst they look like masked raccoons, we were checking each other out mask to mask. After gliding in their same direction, I thought perhaps it would be a good idea to turn around and watch them go past me. YIKES. There were so many and moving so fast the steel nerve I tapped to deal with the bottomless blue waivered and I sucked in a lot of air before calming. It is that vision, of thousands of manta rays passing by, which will stay with me forever. Our Sea of Cortez Manta Rays are of the ‘Mobula’ family and considered a species unique to our area because they fly! And splash and flip and create an awe inspiring event, especially seeing them the first time. This incredible experience may not be for everyone; but for  those that want to, we are going to add it as an option to our return fishing trips and Coast Cruise Whale Watching journeys  – that’ll rock the end of a great day. Now, after seeing them hundreds of times, and thousands of them, I’m still awe struck. People ask me why I think they fly. I think it’s because they can :)    “The Sea of Cortez…get ON it!”, Theresa Comber, Awesome Sportfishing & Coast Cruise Whale Watching combertheresa@hotmail.com
