It is election time and voting will be Feb 6. There are a lot of posters about town and along the highways. This weekend was the end of campaigning with speeches and loud music. Now, people have a quieter week to decide who will get their vote. Loreto seems to want a new Presidente (equivalent to mayor, I think) and may vote out current administration. We will find out next week who wins.

Today was Market Day and I stocked up on fresh vegies and some fruit. Also bought half a kilo shrimp.

It rained Friday.........just a few splats. Debora, manager of my hotel La Damiana, said it has not rained since June. They did not get the Fall rain this year.

One of the first questions when I arrived was "where is Chet?". He is with his doggie cousins in Nevada and doing quite well. I am the one with separation anxiety.

Am enjoying relaxing and reading and walking and visiting. Will look for a kayak adventure if the sea stays calm as it has been since yesterday. Had white caps and north wind earlier.

The finished Plaza is quite nice and smooth for walking and ..... inline skating and skate boarding. Am seeing several people, teens and adults, using inline skates this year both on the streets and in the plaza.
