New Year's Eve on Playa la Ropa

It's 8:45pm, and so far we have had three rounds of little fire crackers set off near the OXXO on Playa la Ropa.

The bus traffic is over, and the car traffic seems to be too. Although our first reaction, for just a split second was, "Gee, too bad," but in reality, it's a great thing.

People are seeming to get that we have an issue and need to slow down/shut down.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, PLEASE BE SAFE AND COME BACK TO PARADISE SAFELY!!!!!

Apparently no one got the memo here downtown. All the bars are gearing up. Sound system just got set up at one of the beachfront restaurants. I expect there will be the usual borrachera. The government is sending out mixed messages.

Hope y'all enjoy yourselves! I'll raise a glass to you!
