Zih, Sobre Todo

Normally our ocean water temps are much cooler during this time of year, but we're still experiencing ocean water so warm even locals still enjoy swimming in it. But signs of cooler water not far away are starting to appear as we see more tuna in the fishermen's market, albeit from around 30 miles out, past what we call "la segunda línea", the second shipping lane out from the coast. If it stays warm much longer I believe it means we will have a more severe burning season and a very dry hurricane season. At least that is what I recall from past events such as this.

Last Monday after the ceremony at Owen's and a couple of cold Vicky's at Chez Arnoldo, my sweetie and I decided to walk over to the Capricho del Rey to see our friends Noyo and Doro. I know I always tell folks to wear good shoes for this walk, but I wore my flip-flops as I've done for most of my life. Since they're easily at least 10 years old I was worried they'd disintegrate along the way, but they held up. That earned me another Vicky with mi media naranja at El Viejo Capricho del Rey before we caught the combi back to town. The walk to Las Gatas remains one of my favorite walks. I can almost do it with my eyes closed probably because I've done it so often including in the pitch dark of night without a flashlight. Don't try this without adult supervision, kidlets.

We gonna have a PIER!
