Change is happening

For good, bad, or whatever, in anticipation of the completion of the road, change is happening in Bahia Asuncion--

In addition to more homes being built, at the beginning town, a new hotel is going up



Another one is planned across the street. We hear work will begin in September---of course, we will believe it when we see it happen. But if it is built and looks anything like the sign, it will be a fancy one.



And, the price of scrap metal must be way up and we are seeing it being collected all over town----a good thing.





More than one old camper that looks like this now.



Ah, but the shells havin't changed.



We do wonder if the road will bring that many more tourists---will be interesting.

Sir...

thank you for these important updates on this special place not a day goes by when i dont think about being there.... i am anticipating spending some time there very soon and visiting with some of the local folk

The new store in town is hoping to open next month. Nothing more has been done on the new beach side bar, yet.

There is also talk about a new fully equiped RV park, and talk about more fancy resorts, and talk about new restaurants, and talk, and more talk, and more talk----and we even heard talk about a golf course even with all our water problems. A golf course would be interesting, however, to watch how golfers correct for the strong wind.

Meantime, life is good here and this is the way we usually enjoy fishing.

We wouldn't want folks thinkin' they didn't have all the creature comforts. Heck, all you need is a desal plant. Shari....better upgrade now!!

The cleanup has taken some history as well. This VW bus was a landmark for years on the old road from HWY 1 to Abreojos. Alas I am afraid its one of my beer cans now.

Well, we will believe it all when it actually happens---oh, we told the people who want to build the RV park that Abreojos was a MUCH better location and they should check it out.

You and Molly will still need to settle for our front porch--cerveza will always be cheaper---Maggie is even getting better with other dogs!.

Tell your mom that the earthquakes are not that bad, just REALLY loud. But don´t tell her that there is a bar in town, the Rincon across from the Hotel Verduzco. I think you two were too busy catching fish to see it.

Need to get down here---panic is not good for the health.

See you soon???

Oh great Vacaenbaja, one more thing for my 85 year old mom to worry about for when we move down there. I thought I had her pacified when I said there were no bars in Asuncion. Think I will show her this picture that Diane put up with the tackle box and rod. She might get suspisious if there ain't no 6 pack tho. Who knows you better then your mother? Thanks Diane for the update......Tim is in a panic now. Barb Tell your mom that the earthquakes are not that bad, just REALLY loud.

It is always good to keep options open. My mother, who died at 90, would have bolted to the bar for a drink at first sign of a shake.
