Yesterday I was musing on my experience in Canada that it is almost impossible to walk into a restaurant on Mothers’ Day without a reservation. But where I have lived the restaurants are almost empty on Fathers’ Day. It is a day when fathers are expected to fire up the grill and cook for everyone else.

(As an aside, I tried to go to Costco on Saturday. It was the busiest I had seen it in months. I gave up. On Fathers’ Day there were hundreds of parking spots available and about a two minute wait to check out.)

I hope all you dads out there felt the love today! I got mine, and it's a wonderful thing. It's nice to be appreciated for being a parent. Town was full of families celebrating together, especially in the waterfront restaurants. The Cancha Municipal also had a pretty good crowd for the games today.

Our absolutely picture-postcard-perfect weather continues. Although rain was forecast for today, so far we haven't had any, though there's still a good chance we'll get some later. Hopefully nothing more than a simple moderate rain without all the scary wind and thunder.

A mar de fondo event is expected over the next several days. This coming Wednesday, besides the match between Mexico and the Czech Republic, we're expecting large swells as high as around 2.6 meters from the southwest. Surfers have an excellent week to look forward to.

This Sunday marks the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year. From here on until the Winter Solstice we get to enjoy sleeping a little later in the mornings. Oh boy! My favorite half of the year. This is more like it.

Got more Father's Day to celebrate, so I'm outta here! Enjoy!

A favorite location for many visitors, Amor del Sol located overlooking Playa La Madera is an extremely comfortable and nicely appointed condominium that offers from 1 to 3 bedrooms (only pay for what you need!). The complex has a pool, but the ocean at La Madera is often calm enough for easy swimming. (click to enlarge photo)
