The tourists finally showed up. Cars and busloads of them. Lots of families everywhere. This should be interesting. I hope they're buying stuff at our local shops, and not just the crafts markets and Oxxos.

We finally finished off the Pavo de Nochebuena. It was even better the second and third day! Oh ¡chín! Now we're the ones who are stuffed!

Our weather remains absolutely perfect. Our seas calm. A nice light breeze much of day. Everyday is t-shirt-shorts-and-sandals weather! I could use a bit more humidity, but that's just me. All the folks from inland arriving with sweaters and jackets and long sleeves and long pants look uncomfortable until they get changed.

I like seeing the sand here again. It's only been about 46 years since I've seen it sandy here next to the old Palacio Federal, now the Museo.
