Oh, 20 minutes later after traffic had already resumed using the street here comes a few more CTM hotel workers who apparently got a late start and are pissing everyone off with their loud skyrockets. Too funny!

Oh, I love Mexico!

Well whaddayaknow! Here comes the parade! Only 20 minutes late. I'm impressed.

Hardly a soul in the street.

And just like that the parade is over. Didn't even last half an hour. Wow! That's never happened before that I can recall. And it was only CTM (a PRI-leaning workers' union) members, that I could see. No músicos. No mariachis. No charros. All that fuss over nothing. Apparently most workers decided not to participate. How embarrassing for the ayuntamiento.

Well, as expected, 8 o'clock came and went without anything other than speakers blaring from the reviewing stand area where the VIPs watch the parade over the heads of we lowly folk. There are hardly even any people in the street except for the Tránsitos.

Cumulus clouds on the horizon this morning were a welcome sight and a reminder that the rainy season is right around the corner. The day's heat has been lingering longer into the evenings. Sleeping under a sheet is not necessary until maybe just before sunrise. We've been lucky that our local temperatures have remained mild, albeit with slightly more humidity than previous weeks. Only two more weeks until the official beginning of our Hurricane Season!

¡Feliz Día del Niño! We hope those of you with children to spoil rotten did so with enthusiasm today. Happy faces were in evidence all over town and on Playa Municipal as families brought their children to celebrate at our restaurants and beaches.

This Wednesday is Día del Trabajador. Treat your workers well and let them enjoy their day. Downtown parade at 8AM, not 9:30 as previously reported, though I expect it will start late as it always does. Lots of places will be closed including banks.

Truly one of the loveliest vacation lodgings at La Ropa in one of the most peaceful areas of our community is Villa Zanzibar, tucked away in the old original La Ropa community at the southern end of the beach a short easy walk uphill from the end of the beach.
