Peace in the Valley

At least for now. The police hauled away a "cel" from the group Caballeros Templarios or Knights Templar who are mainly centered in Michoacan.   The week long rampage was enough to close the local schools for two days and keep many people off the streets in the evening.   Not pleasant to see people worried about their kids and themselves.   The latest is that they will setup a reten or road-block (check point) on the Colima side of the bridge in Cihuatlan with coordination of both Jalisco and Colima states.   Let's just hope these people found it difficult enough here that they won't be back.

Progress on El Naranjo II

Manzanillo, Colima. - The director general of Colima National Water Commission (Conagua), Aaron Modesto Mendoza, reported that to date, the construction of the Dam El Naranjo has moved long 25% after hurricane " Jova "(October 2011) destroyed much of what was up.
