We stayed hunkered down in the house last night. The town was eerily quiet as everyone was staying safe inside even though there was no trouble with the cartels in this sleepy little town. The four of us felt like we had been actors in an apocalyptic movie. We tried to catch up on the news. It seemed like the most disturbances were in the medium to larger cities. We did finally settle down to play a game of cards and Team Cathie and Sandie won! We are now tied 2 to 2.
We were going to go to the beach today, but decided to stay home and use the pool and also catch up on laundry. Dave and Russ went out front to the street the feed the local stray dogs (see pic of the dog whisperer below). We bumped into a neighbor who was going to walk downtown to get breakfast as he had only fruit left after sheltering in place yesterday. We shared some of our bounty from the fridge with him so he wouldn't go hungry if the restaurants were still closed. We also gave him a tour of the house and he loved it! He is renting a small studio apartment next door. He has been traveling around Mexico for a month and is from Crested Butte, Colorado. It was nice to pay forward what we recieved yesterday from the folks in La Cruz. About mid-morning Russ, Cathie, and Dave took the golf cart downtown to see what was happening. They said it was quiet and about 60 percent of the shops were open. We did some pool side reading and took a dip to cool off. We have been watching the news from home and are very happy to have missed the blizzard. We are thinking of all our friends and family who are having to deal with the clean up. Stay safe and warm! 85 and sunny here. We may go down for dinner tonight, but if the restaurants aren't open, we have plenty of leftovers to get us through. The bird pics are from the backyard - chcchalaca and pale billed woodpecker.
