The last 2 weeks have been wonderfully active here in La Manz. All the restaurants are cleaned up and ready for customers, all the other businesses are likewise ready for customers. properties have been bought and sold, construction has restarted on those properties under construction and new homes are in the planning stages. Yup - we are alive and well in La Manzanilla.
There are, however, a few streets that still need to be avoided ~ both in the dark AND in the daylight!

This street is still like this because first they have to fix the sewer line, and then they have to fix the water line, and then they can fix the road. It's a question of priorities - these crews are still serving other communities, some of which did not fare as well as we.
For the last 2 nights we have been blessed with a wonderful show of the ISS, having it's closest orbit to the earth (between us and the moon) - which I understand is the equivalent of missing a pool ball by a hair! We had only a few minutes here to watch. I was all prepared, I'd gone up to the roof-top by 6:30 pm to catch the 6:41 pm time set that we would be able to see it. Then, at 6:41 exactly I saw it come out of the NE sky. By 6:45 it had worked its way across to the NW sky, and by 6:48 it had settled down at the SW sky. Incredible to see - awesome in it's proximity.
