While Lupita and I diligently participated in today's Simulacro Sísmico Nacional 2026, most people apparently didn't. Tourists we saw in the downtown streets were totally unaware and uninterested. A few neighbors appeared in the streets, but most didn't, at least we didn't see them. Did you participate? How'd it go?

So the parking lot for buses near Plaza Kioto is open once again. Not sure what the problem is that they keep closing, but for all the small inexpensive hotels that have sprung up in the immediate area hoping to cash in on these tourists, this is good news.

Pan dulce with a licuado de plátano is a delicious way to start the day along with fresh locally grown coffee with a dash of fresh cinnamon. Mmmmm!

Visitors enjoyed a perfect day for the beach except for the water that is potentially unsafe for swimming because of Thursday's rain. But apparently folks didn't mind because they were in the water. Of course, most wouldn't get ill until they got home, so local officials apparently prefer to turn a blind eye and not consider it a local problem. Tourist destinations should act more responsibly, and I know of many that do. A shame that here isn't one of them. I'm sure we can do better!

A tropical disturbance forming up out to sea off our coast is expected to become a tropical storm within the next 2 or 3 days and continue forming into a hurricane. It's expected to get quite close to our coast while it gains strength before hopefully moving northwestward. So we could get quite a bit of wind and rain from this storm. Now's the time to start making preparations.

We knew about the drill and participated at least ourselves, while we were getting tires mounted at Montana. We may have been the only ones.

The bus parking lot at Playa Kyoto keeps closing and opening. We used it for our tire repair.

Why can't they just charge 100 pesos for each and every bus entry at all the lots? That would make them able to provide portable toilets, and sand or whatever when the openings become almost impassible lie they have been lately at the other lot?

You do a great job, please keep it up.
