Sticky Buns and Sticky Situation















We're in the 4th day of showers, high winds, and what Mexicans consider the depths of winter -- high 60'sF or high teens C. We show them pictures of Ontario in deep snow and their teeth chatter just looking at it! How can people live in that?!?! But the sun will be back out by Saturday and the locals will have their extended families of 20 or 30 partying on the beach.


One of my cravings has been for "sticky buns" --- pastries and goo to have with coffee or tea at the apartment. The attached photos show the choice at Comercial Mexicana, before I cleaned out their shelves.


We also go for high-speed walks each morning. One of the best routes is to the old ferry dock about 4 or 5 km up the road. Today though it is apparent that what was jungle-scrub is being bulldozed for yet more condos. Right next to the iconic concrete dock. I've always thought if you say "destroyers" instead of "developers" you get a better sense of what is happening.
