SolstiZIHo de Invierno

https://youtu.be/PV5TmXi5NLs

Another cool morning greeted residents and visitors in our region of the Costa Grande. There was some scattered cloud cover today that helped keep the heat down but increased the humidity. Nevertheless, the beaches were still crowded, and all our visitors that I saw sure looked like they were enjoying themselves.

This Saturday night is the longest night of the year as we pass through the Winter Solstice. Remember where the sun is on the horizon at sunrise or sunset. It will start moving back northwestward until the Summer Solstice.

Be aware that a water shortage is already upon us. We haven't had any city water for a couple of days in our part of downtown where we usually have water every day. I can't imagine what people are thinking building new dwellings and lodgings here. The municipal government should have instituted a building moratorium years ago in order to get its house in order, but apparently greed and ambition continue to guide our local politicians more than proper urban planning. We've got a stupid new brightly lit road to nowhere and a refurbished monument to corruption, both costing hundreds of millions of pesos, but insufficient water, no real hospital, no real local police force or local public security apparatus, and long list of things that need attention and fixing.

The Desfile Navideño is currently going on outside my window. It's been a wonderful parade so far. There's a huge crowd. The floats, music and dancing are all beautiful. And everyone certainly appears to be enjoying the spectacle. Santa and his reindeer just went by on a huge modified construction vehicle, so I guess it's finally over. I've posted some video on my Facebook page, if you're interested.
