A busy day that included washing all the covers of the throw pillows that adorn the outside furniture, all of hem crusted with salt after spending 5 months outside; the duvet and pillow shams on the bed, likewise a bit stiff with salt. This is the biggest problem this close to the water but, to my mind, it's a small price to pay for the view and the breeze and the lovely sound of the surf. Mr. C took down the blades of the ceiling fans and covered the motors with plastic bags. Our new fans, installed last and this years are plastic so they don't rust out and fling rusty water all over the walls when we first start them up. We had instant Jackson Pollock a couple of years ago. These new fans are terrific. Probably won't ever have to replace them. I made a trip to the library to return the books we had borrowed over the season and to catalog donations but, alas, Gloria, the librarian, decided not to open the library today. I'll try again on Monday. She keeps rather erratic hours.
Tonight was our last dinner down at Dago's puesto. He is about to celebrate his 50th birthday so I took him a copy of this photo in a magnetized frame to slap on the side of the fridge. We ordered usual; camerones al mojo de ajo sin cáscaras for me, tacos de pescado for Mr. C. Delicious, as usual, with enough shrimp left over for a big salad for tomorrow's lunch. A good group showed up, including a fellow from Ajijic who wants to open a 2- or 3-night a week restaurant here. All investors cheerfully welcomed. It would be wonderful to have such an establishment in town. As it is, it's the puestos or nothing.
This is the high season for the gorgeous primavera trees. This is the most beautiful one in town and it's now in full bloom. It will all be over in two or three days. Enjoy it while you can.

Give me puestos over restaurantes any old time. But what are cascadas? Waterfalls? With shrimp?
I mis-typed that; it should be cáscaRas, which are shells. I apologize for any confusion between shells and waterfalls!
