Good Monday morning ... We have had rain every day this month, some days all day, light to heavy, but constant ... keeps things really cool, keeps the bugs away somewhat too, so that's all great, would be nice to get a laundry down sometime in the near future .... my water tank hasn't been filling for the last few days , so that doesn't make laundry too promising fro today, although it is filling up slowly this morning.
So ironic that there is so much rain, but it causes a lot of havoc with all the mangara lines getting compromised by falling rocks and mud slides .... if it's not one thing ....
At least I have a phone to call the repair man !!
Lots of Tuna in the sea, and Dorado. The bait aren't flying around the bay anymore, not like they were...the new moon brought us such calm seas, very quiet and very dark .... power was out on the point for 4 days, same old problem out there with an old transformer ... but so far so good in town for power, only those 2 second outages that shut down your wifi, disconnect your telephone, etc. No skype service most of yesterday with such a heavy cloud cover ... out to Pollo Bollo for a scrumptious dinner, mashed potatoes and rice on Sunday !!
The big news around here this week is very sad and tragic.
My next door neighbours woke up to a body on their front porch yesterday, a dead body !
The man is not from here, I have very few details. It was a random act of violence, the man died from machete wounds, maybe was followed / chased down the hill from Chacala ?
There was a big party in the village Saturday night, maybe someone saw something ?
We may never know, but the cops are coming in by the boatloads today. I anticipate they will come by and ask me if I heard or saw anything, which I didn't. Gracias A Dios !!
A sad reminder that no matter how far away we feel from the " real " world here in Yelapa, it
isn't that far away ....
My new student is remarkable, and very motivated. I found out it cost 1,660.00 $ pesos for
one semester of school, then there are minimal costs for books, but I calculate $ 500.00 usd
would put someone through school for one year. That would include a small payment for
room & board in Pv and taxi $$ back home on weekends and a food allowance too.
Maybe fundraising is in my future ?? Vamos a ver ....
First coat of paint at Mimi's !! I took a before picture, but can't post it until I have the after shot. Still a ways to go ...
Gearing up for Independence Day on the 16th . All the festivities will take place in Tuito.
There will be some tourists around, mostly in PV , but hopefully a small shot in the arm for the business around here too...a sunny day would help !!
Going to keep this short. I hear the police next door !! and I must prepare my lesson for today ! Stay tuned for poems and pictures ...
until then ... may September continue to be kind to us ... but let us do our laundry !!
much muchness to you all .... call you later Dad !!
