Palapa in Yelapa

Good morning.

The bay of banderas enjoys 300 days of sunshine, so says the tourist bureau, but today is not one of them ! The first day of rain last year was June 5th, and we may be on track to repeat or beat that !
I'm ready with a new palapa roof  !! Looks and smells organic ! and I love it.
I hope it lasts 8 years , that brings us to 2027 !!!! OMG !

I am lucky to have a casita on the property I could stay in during  the 6 days it took to do the work , but now I'm ready to begin the clean up and moving back in,which will take another 6 days, with help on the weekend .

I didn't get one photo of the Festival of the Virgin Guadalupe, the Patron Saint of Mexico . Nine days of processions, with each neighborhood taking a turn.
Sunday was Confirmation at the Catholic church, with a fiesta at the basketball court later in the evening but I missed that too !

A Folklore Dance group visited Yelapa last week. Dancers from Italy, Panama and Columbia. It was a great event, with vendors below the basketball court in the new town square. It started very late, as they had to wait for the other half of the stage to arrive, and I  lost my stamina,  but it was a full house.

I must go and attend to my house.

More news and photos to come.
