It's a day for shorts

Ahhhhhh, warm again and back into my shorts and sandals.

Had a long walk south on the beach today. A lot of construction work happening between the beach and the airport. Apparently, Fonatur (the government) is getting land ready for sale. Before the government can sell government land they have to put in streets, curbs, sidewalks and utilities. No notices of sale yet, but guess they will be ready when they want to sell lots. There are a lot of rumors about what will eventually be there, from high-rise hotels, homes and commercial big box stores. And a rumor that it will be another malecon that will go all the way (5 miles) to Loreto Bay where thousands of condos are already (and have been for several years) being built near the hotel and golf course.

Chet had a couple swims and like in Juneau I have to watch to make sure he doesn't eat fish bones. At least these are so dry I don't think he would be stinky like he is after rolling in salmon.

Darn mean dogs! Most of the dogs around are fine and only bark and sniff as Chet and I walk by, but today 3 dogs zipped out of a yard and hit Chet in a hind leg. That hurt! No bite, but he limped for a bit and was skittish when other dogs barked at him. Being skittish is a good thing. Springers don't understand mean behavior from people or dogs and are surprised when it happens. We won't walk down that block again.

I learned that the birds I had been calling buzzards are Turkey Vultures.

Bought my weeks supply of fruits and veggies at the outdoor market yesterday. And brought home some chicken tamales. The tamales I have been eating in Baja usually have one green olive (with pit) and potatos and carrot along with the meat. The woman who made the tamales said she is in the Centro on Indepencia in the afternoons. I'll try and find her on one of my ventures across the dry riverbed to Centro.
