What a welcome relief!

Just wanted to let you know the long awaited drop in humidity here in Mazatlan has come. This week the temperature and humidity in the morning, about 8:00, has been as low as 79 degrees and 23% humidity. It is sooooo pleasant. We are enjoying being able to open the doors of our condo and let the cool ocean breeze blow through. The temperatures during the day are still climbing upwards to 90+ but with the humidity so much lower, it isn't a problem.

Mazatlan is starting to get much busier as the snowbirds and tourists are returning daily. The Mexicans are very happy about this, as it gives them more work.

We are looking forward to next Thursday, November 1, The Day of the Dead. A fiesta atmosphere surrounds the annual Day of the Dead walkabout, and the objective is visiting a series of altars set up in the traditional Mexican style in which the favorite objects and pastimes of the departed personality are displayed. The promenade starts at 7:00 pm in El Centro (old Mazatlan) and we will walk through the streets viewing these altars. We should have many interesting pictures to share with you.
