Quiet Saturday

We did discover why our rental agent never showed up for his appointment with us yesterday. He sometimes works seven days a week and the company gave him last minute approval for a day off yesterday. He asked a colleague who was coming to this building to arrange his appointment for another day. His colleague let him down.

Carol and Linda hiked along the beach to the massage cabins this morning for another loosening. I caught a photo from our 11th floor balcony. The top photos are cropped details from the bottom photo ...
While they were gone I investigated the real estate situation in Ixtapa. One can buy a house here within a range of $75,000.00 to a million dollars. Permanent rental properties run from $500.00 per month to around $1500.00. The agent I interviewed is from California and has lived here for 6 years. I cannot confirm if that's because he likes it here or if he's a fugitive from the law, but according to him, an Ixtapa summer is nothing to fear. It just gets 10 degrees warmer and more humid. His business cards are solid plastic, like a credit card, "because otherwise it gets wet." In my shirt pocket it sure would. He asserted that the location of Ixtapa is such it has never experienced a hurricane.

One ground floor condo here has a sculpture shown below left.
And so it goes.

Quote of the Day:
"If things start happening.
Don't worry, don't stew.
Just go right along and
You'll start happening too."
- Dr. Seuss.
