ReZIHbiendo Más Lluvia

The heat and humidity were again relentless this Monday. Visitors were under their umbrellas and whatever shade they could find at the beach, in and out of the water, which is also quite warm at the moment, about 30.5°C. Bathtub warm. Nothing a cool drink couldn't fix. But a decent thunderstorm arrived this evening and helped cool things off a little bit. It was hilarious watching a group of drunks in Plaza del Artista bathing themselves in the rain, beer in hand. Don't try this at home without adult supervision, kidlets, especially when there's lightning striking nearby.

Although we enjoyed some sales today, like most downtown merchants, we feel that the visitors we're currently getting aren't bringing much money to spend. They even complain about leaving a 10% tip at the beach restaurants they must go to if they want to have chairs and shade at the beach. Nothing at all like we used to get just a relatively few years ago before beaches started getting Blue Flagged and our beautiful trees were getting replaced with cement at the pace they are now.

I marvel at the amazing woman I fell in love with here 50 years ago who is now my wife of almost 35 years. Such an exemplary human being who was born on the downtown beach and grew up here before there were TVs at a time when her home was one of the few even to have a telephone. Seeing the world through her eyes is humbling and heartwarming. She spoils me rotten every single day. She's my superpower! And she makes me feel like the luckiest Gringo in Mexico.

One of the nicer more affordable vacation rentals in La Madera neighborhood is Casa Linda located atop the small hill at La Madera with views of the bay and town. Three apartments that can be rented all together or individually, each beautifully decorated with Mexican handcrafts. One with two en-suite bedrooms and two with one bedroom each as well as a sofa or pull out bed. All with full kitchens, living area, balconies, and shared access to a garden with BBQ facilities as well as the rooftop terrace.
