Man oh man am I ever The Luckiest Gringo in Mexico! I get to wake up each day next to an angel and enjoy the morning smells of the nearby bakery mixed with the smell of fresh ground coffee brewing and the ever-present fragrance of the tropical sea. All my favorites!

Things are finally calming down after the New Year celebrations as people run out of fireworks. Thank goodness! Families continue arriving all excited to be at the beach, radiant with the most beautiful smiles on faces young and old. A walk along the waterfront to the pier at night is like swimming against the current as the throngs of tourists continue arriving from Playa Las Gatas well after dark, all sunburned and tired but still happy to be here with their family and friends. And early the next morning more families are arriving and discovering the beach and marveling at the sunrise. I practically had to stand in line to get a couple of photos of the morning's splendorous colors. I hope you like them.

Absolutely stunning!! Thank you for sharing, cannot wait until June arrives, and we can enjoy it all again in person. I'm excited also as I finally figured out out to restore my password, and reply/send messages!

Gracias, amigo. I hurried from my home to the beach when I saw the red glow growing, but there were so many tourists standing up and down te beach taking photos it was almost hard to find a spot. One of the things I thought was cool, and I don't know how well it shows up on other people's monitors, was how the combination of darkness and the red glow made the sand look almost purple. I don't recall ever seeing that deep purple before.

Deep purple...was there smoke on the water?
