Una InvaZIHón Terrestre

The Covid-19 stats I posted yesterday are the same ones being reported today. They haven't been updated.

The Semana Santa vacationers have arrived! And boy have they! Don't know about your street, but there's nowhere to park in any of the downtown streets near our home. The downtown beach has been full of people all day, and things are just warming up. Last night was fairly noisy, but I expect much worse. The police seem so overwhelmed they don't even try to apply any laws or order of any kind. We were just walking on a downtown pedestrian street next to a city official around dusk when 2 motorcycles roared past us and in between diners and tourists walking, and the city official just looked like he wanted to disappear and not be seen. He sure as hell didn't look like he wanted to apply any laws or call any other officials or police.

This Saturday seemed to warm up a little sooner than previous days, but next week the forecast is predicting even warmer days, though the overnight lows seem to remain steady, so our absolutely picture-postcard perfect weather continues. Amazingly the ocean is still extremely calm and quite swimmable. The possible patches of marea roja that have been a concern seem not to be affecting any beaches that I can tell. The water I can see in the bay looks good. Haven't heard of any warnings or comments from any local sources regarding any marea roja. So often during Semana Santa vacation period our ocean is rough and cold and in recent years has often had marea roja present, but this year it is the picture of perfection. Lucky vacationers!

I know it's not a very good photo, but before the remodelación of the downtown waterfront walkway, I took quite a few photos of this panga parked under the palm trees (one cut down for no reason during the remodelación) by the Mercado de Conchas, so since I saw it the other day I wanted to post its photo at least for posterity's sake.

I remain amazed the fishermen take those little boats out in the open ocean, at night, in all but the worst conditions.
