A Quiet Long Weekend Monday

WHERE ARE WE? La Penita, Nayarit, Mexico

Archie and I headed out for our morning walk as usual before anyone showed up on the beach.  Being a long weekend, there will be lots of people today.  I took a bag along and picked up garbage as we walked.  There wasn't a whole lot this morning which surprised me after lots of people on the beach all day yesterday.  That puts my faith back in humanity.  

We got a message from Kenia this morning that she had travelled to Puerta Vallarta to be with Abuela in the hospital today.  Abuela has been in and out of the hospital for a couple weeks now.  She says she is starting to feel better and we wish her a speedy recovery.  

I did a little bit of trouble shooting this morning after wandering around trying all the taps and toilets for leaks.  The kitchen tap upstairs is in bad shape and has been leaking for a while.  I checked it all out and it seems to be at the end of its life.  Ed and Jen will pick out a new one and it should be good for a few years.  While it was leaking, it dripped on the shelf below and rotted it out.  Wet wood and rusty metal are common sites here where it is humid for most of the year with the exception of a few months in the winter.

Its gotta go

This all looks good

Looks like its been leaking all summer

I took a little bike ride downtown this afternoon and spent some time on the Malecon.  The town was not that busy today.

Christmas is coming

Not a lot of traffic today

The beach is quiet

Some new murals along the malecon

Not many people on the Malecon either

And a beautiful sunset tonight.  Good Nite!!!
