More Crappy Weather - January 15, 2018
Not much happening today. After a 3 mile run this morning around the park, we holed up in the trailer while it was blustery outside. A little rain and no sun. What's up with that? Weather says one more day of that and possibly some sunshine after that. Just in time for us to leave.
Oh well, at least it isn't snow. I guess we should get down here more often as it seems that there has been a drought.
We did venture into a community called "La Cholla." This community is obviously a second home community for North Americans. Plenty of beautiful homes, some of them only partially finished, some of them monstrosities and some of them modest. The place looked pretty empty. The little community bore a resemblance to Percebu in Baja, near San Felipe. The only difference is that this place had electricity and consequently is much bigger.
After that jaunt we set out to find a laundry that would wash, dry and fold our clothes. Google does not work so good down here mainly because the cell service is so crummy. Even though it shows 4 bars of service -- it isn't the same as the 4 bars at home. But persistence paid off, we found this place that will do our laundry for 20 pesos (about $1) a pound. Bring it in tomorrow morning and it will be done that evening. That's the plan.
Here are some photos I took of the beach and our park.
As an aside. I am devastated once again by the school shootings in Parkland, FL. I am so disappointed in this country -- why can't our elected congress put into place something that will get these hideous semi-automatic and automatic weapons out of circulation? People say it is the NRA but I can't imagine why that organization would oppose these stupid, meant only for war time killing, weapons. I am promising myself to make the effort to find out which of our elected officials are taking money from this organization and making a point to vote against them. One small step for mankind. I suggest you all do the same.
Here's a couple signs I saw in the Ladies room -- seemed to lift my spirits:
