Hola Amigos.
First let me say the chain plates were successfully replaced in Puerto Vallarta with some help of our friend Dan Orlando and his connections for a fabricator that did excellent work at a fair price. Then of course, the fresh water pump failed but that is why I must be out here to fix all this “crap”!
I truly don’t mind it as life wit out challenges would be far too boring. Some people wonder why their health fails, yet they never bother to challenge their bodies and the body becomes bored and gives up. I possibly will never be able to die as my repair list continues to grow and challenge my “being”.
Mexico is still the same, great food, friendly people, reasonable prices and the best weather if you like 80+ degrees and sun most everyday. Here people are living life and appear little affected by the fear of covid- 19. What has changed is there is very little foreign tourism and the local small businesses are having a tough go of it.
One palapa-a small open restaurant on the beach that I commonly frequent had two employees that decided to take up with the “Cartel” to make their way forward in life. The end result for those two guys was that one was shot to death and the other decapitated and this all occurred within less than a year of joining the “Cartel”. You can only hope that it paid well.
I plan to enjoy Mexico until late April before joining Debbie in New Mexico. Debbie is doing fine back their with family and grand kids.
Just know I miss all my friends and family and hope to see you somewhere soon.
“MERRY CHRISTMAS” or as they say here in Mexico “FELIZ NAVIDAD” Love your Amigo Jefe’
