Pier looks nice, just in time for the cruise ships and tourists that won’t be coming. It’s getting so stupid over here, I’m just waiting for the guns to come out at Walmart over a pack of toilet paper. Supposed to go to Guadalajara Thursday but I’m going to cancel as who knows if I would be allowed to leave or come back. When Las Vegas casinos shut down, things are going wacko. The Dow will drop huge today.

If you decide to go to Guadalajara and get stuck here in Mexico you will always have a home with us.

We have family planning to come visit this month and next, and I'm supposed to go to Acapulco at the end of this month which I fully intend to do, outbreak or no even if I have to wrap myself up like a mummy.

SO happy living in paradise!

¡Va a haber desfile! ¿Vienen ustedes?

We enjoyed pizza and beer with our friend Joaquín at his restaurant La Porteña, enjoying the parade of tourists strolling the Paseo del Pescador and returning sunburnt from Las Gatas and other beaches.

Tonight is the parade and closing of the Carnaval with Sonora Dinamita, a favorite traditional Mexican band that plays lots of tropical music the way costeños like it. If you've never seen them they are worth the effort. One of the best groups in Mexico with a long tradition of fine music, very danceable.

This is the first public photo of the ZIHUA letters since they've been moved. They need to be repainted. Hopefully the little spotlights that light them up at night won't be stolen this time.

The shade-roofing for the bench seating area.

The caseta for the oceanographic instruments has already been defiled by local drunks and vagabonds. Hopefully this problem will be nipped in the bud with better vigilance.
