My 64th nothing. His?? Between Patzcuaro and Tepic on our very last road trip to the US prior to being here forever and becoming citizens. We'll never forget, separate vehicles, both singing.

Life is wonderful!!

This Wednesday is Presidenta Sheinbaum's 64th birthday. At the end of her morning news conference they played "When I'm 64" by The Beatles as she cut her birthday cake for the members of the press. A win by Mexico's World Cup fútbol team this evening in their match against Czechia would literally be the icing on the cake for her today.

A light drizzle this Wednesday morning is the only precipitation we've had since Saturday morning. It looked like it was going rain late this afternoon, but it barely sprinkled. Once again the geography of our coastline seems to have worked as a barrier for us as the storm seemed to almost curve around us before continuing up the coast towards Troncones and La Unión.

Good thing because there are thousands of people heading towards their favorite place to watch this evening's match, with several hundred at the Cancha Municipal where a giant screen and hundreds of chairs await under huge awnings. Literally a sea of green as everywhere you look everyone is wearing their Mexican fútbol team's t-shirt. Even at my bank this morning all the employees were wearing their green Mexican team t-shirts.

Last night's Telmex internet outage was repaired when I awoke at 2 in the morning. Cut fiber optic cables near Iguala have been blamed. Younger people this morning had a look of shock still on their faces from a half-day without internet.

Expect huge crowds of people to be out celebrating this evening if Mexico wins their match against Chechnia, as they're expected to do. In Mexico City there are likely to be hundreds of thousands of people gatehered on Avenida Reforma in both directions from the Ángel de la Independencia where it's become traditional to celebrate after our national team wins fútbol matches. Wish us luck! And ¡PONTE LA VERDE!

Whether you want to go sportfishing, whale watching, sightseeing or snorkeling, my friend Capitán Ramón Olea of the panga Oleaje offers an affordable adventure waiting to be enjoyed. Ramón knows all the local fishing and snorkeling spots as well as what else is worth seeing. His 24' covered panga doesn't offer much luxury, but his expertise in fishing and his local knowledge of our coast and its marine life is second to none! Ramón practices "catch and release" fishing when possible. (click to enlarge image)
