.... No Rain ....
That's all we want around here this time of year, and exactly what we are not getting.
The season started off so prominsing. Almost right on schedule. The vllage breathes a sigh of relief.
Everyone is happy. Then the land crabs and termites and flys appear, but that is a small price to pay
for our blessing.
But then nothing but thunder and dark clouds. It's raining everywhere else.We can see the rain clouds
opening over PV, but nothing here. Everyday it promises, but we are left with nothing.
A little scary. This may mean, when the rain does come, and it will, won't it ... it may rain through October. Doesn't matter at this point, just as long as it starts and starts big.
I've said before that growing up in Northern Ontario has helped me adapt to this weather. Funny to say, but i have spent more than one winter at minus 27. My car engine froze up once, gas line too.
I would take a chance gettng in my jeep and just driving down my driveway... black ice, white ice,
sleet and freezing rain ... oh my ... this weather just doesn't compare.
It's intense no doubt. To be walking or working out there under the sun is not easy.
But, neither is wind chill factor, blowing snow, and frozen toes.
I'm happy here. I can take it. Just make it rain ....
I thought our beach light problem had been rectified, with a dimmer light, but sorry to report, the
new / old light bulb is back. It really conflicts with the Tourist Town label.
I haven't got it too bad, I have made adjustments, and trying to pretend it's not there, but that's a
stretch. Not sure how, but someday I hope we will reach a compromise.
There are tourists in town, and Vallarta Adventures boats still roaring in, most boats packed.
There aren't a lot of restaurants opened n town but still action at the beach.
I heard a rumor The Barracuda may be re opening. And Chico's serving dinner too.
I stay pretty close to home. Meetng with teachers today to discuss English Program for next year.
I'm in deep down, and although I fear it will be a ton of work, I can't wait to get at it.
I'll keep you posted.
I hope I don't have to report any bad sad news.
Prayers are being said for Julio Cesar. Family and friends gather for 9 days.
Everyone still in shock.
Peace be with you .....
