Had to go and fill the Jeep up with gas today so I will give you a little insight into the price of gas in Mexico. I filled up at 26.99 peso's per liter. So that equates to 1.86 Cnd per liter. So the Jeep took 58 liters for a total of $1565.42 peso's which I still cringe at when I see the amount. It equates to $108.07 Cnd which still makes me cringe. I wonder where all the price increases will end!!!
We found out today that we have a pet iguana here. It is in one of the trees in the back of the property and is not scared to climb a tall palm tree. He is over 3 feet long and has a nice beard hanging down.
We have a lot of Mexicans who come to La Penita to the ocean to holiday during Christmas. This is as busy as we have seen it in the 5 years we have been coming here. They set up their umbrella's and tables and eat and drink and play lots of music. There can be 3 different families withing 100 feet of each other, and all 3 will be playing their own music. They have to keep cranking it up to drown out the other one it seems.
Today there was a little added action when a couple of young guys got in trouble in the waves. They started yelling for help although they were still able to keep afloat. Thankfully because of the crowd on the beach, boats are close by giving rides etc, so one came quick and threw them a couple of life jackets. The boys put them on and then hung on to the side of the boat and he brought them to shore.
Glad things ended without any tragedy occurring.

Everyone went back to partying and the ice cream man kept playing his tune and selling ice cream.
Sorry, but there was another sunset tonight. The sun is slowly making its way back north again. It will soon be in the hollow of the mountains.
