A Whiff of Zih

A most beautiful woman greeted me this morning with her lovely smile, a warm kiss and a mug of some of the best coffee I've ever had. A morning routine in our home. Did I mention I'm The Luckiest Gringo in Mexico? Pobres los demás.

The city has been working on fixing the mouth of La Boquita canal before the rainy season starts, something that has needed doing for years. They're working hard to try to save two coconut palms and a guamuchil tree that were all in danger of falling into the canal along with the failing wall. A new wall is being built, but due to seepage from the ocean they have to spend a lot of time and energy pumping water out of the mouth of the canal. Fortunately the ocean has been extremely calm lately in the bay, and a natural barra formed at the mouth of the canal to help keep the ocean water out. If the city can save all three trees it will be a small miracle that we and many of our neighbors who use the walkway daily will be extremely grateful for.

Work on the pier remains held up, but no one seems to know why with any certainty.

Hope to see you all at Casa Marina at 7pm this evening for the art exposition by Guadalupe Gaytán and Magdaleno Flores. A lot of good folks will be there.

What a privilege to have views like this practically right out our front door.

Dry season has taken hold and our unique selva baja caducifolia is in its dormant mode waiting for the next rains.
