Gonna rain

Every 2-3 days we get a weather buildup against the mountains that reaches the beach. Lots of rolling thunder and sheet lightning. Almost no wind and it's starting to sprinkle. It might last for an hour or so or into the evening. Humid but cooler because almost no sun all day. Another day at the beach in Mexico

Rainy early morning in Melaque

Playa Cuastecomatita closed totally

This used to be a nice little hike to a quiet beach past the Mirador on the west end of the bay. It looks like the whole area has development plans or maybe someone just needs privacy. Security now is walls, strong gates, barbed wire, razor wire and large guard dogs

New gate on the road

Two new restaurants in town

Well at least Doña Agueda is new to me. Can't remember if they enlarged it or if used to be something else. At least new paint and patio in front. I guess the only reason I mention it is I think they make a good pizza. Good pizza will not be agreed upon between the local grumpy gringos ... but I definitely put this up with the best in town. Just ask for thin crust and NO hotdog (salchicha)

Fuku is a new Chinese and Japanese restaurant a block off the plaza on the next street toward the highway from Taco Row. I've only had their Teriyaki but I heard the Tempura is good. The hours are 11-7pm which is two hours longer than the Japanese place on the highway which closes at 5pm (no time for dinner). Fuku also does home delivery.

Usually with as little as 30% chance we just don't get it ... but this is the first sign of rain since fall. The Chapala area had thunder, lightning and rain last night so the season is starting. The highlands often get more rain than we do here on the coast

First rain of the season in Melaque?
