VíZIHta Nocturna por Tlaloc

https://youtu.be/YbkXGGPA3tM

We were extremely and pleasantly surprised by a brief thunderstorm in the middle of the night, but it brought the temperature down and added to the natural music of the ocean's waves. An unexpected but welcome pleasure. This evening the sky looks pretty much the same as last night, so maybe we'll get lucky again.

There were busloads of visitors on the beaches and at the Cancha Municipal at sunrise this morning. I felt bad for the beachfront restaurants who were setting up and hoping for clients. These folks brought everything with them. We even saw local friends heading to Playa Las Gatas early with everything they needed for the day. The problem is too many beachfront restaurants and not enough visitors with the purchasing power our community needs. We used to have a much better balance.

Ixtapa's all-included hotels appear to be doing well, but you'd never know it since most of their visitors never seem to leae the hotel property to dine in any local restaurant or to shop in any local stores. But yeah, Ixtapa's shopping area needed a new hot cement griddle for them to not stroll on. Good thinking by our mayor.

While there's no rain forecast (again) for our area, the sky looks like we could see a repeat of last night. The forecast is for rain in our region by the middle of next week, and it also shows the possible formation of a tropical system right in front of us that could become a problem. A reminder to always be careful what you wish for! Tlaloc has his own agenda.

If you enjoy learning about and experiencing some of our local flora and fauna, El Refugio de Potosí is a center for wildlife conservation and environmental education. Among its attractions, it features a fully reconstructed sperm whale skeleton (the only one in Mexico), an observation tower, a wheelchair accessible footpath for observing local flora and fauna, and a butterfly pavilion. Located near the beach on the road to Barra de Potosí. Perfect for the entire family. (click to enlarge image)
