Getting close to the end of my visit here.
This morning, I heard Andrew's voice in the courtyard and went out to say hello.
He was out here to take a walk on the beach with the dog loving man, Alesandro and his girl friend and her friend Sara. I was invited along.
He was also here to say goodbye and commiserate with the other couple who live downstairs. They had been scarce for a few days, staying inside. (Sam and Tessa)
Turns out they got arrested for smoking pot on the beach, spent a day or so in Jail and were leaving today. The girl, being young and cute, had a particularly unpleasant time in a Mexican jail with almost no Spanish. They are getting out of town and returning to the states.
Interestingly, the resident meeting on local crime the other day (remember a week or so back) resulted in a general Police toughening of enforcement. That might explain why the police were hassling the fishermen the other day too.
In typical police fashion (as I sadly understand it ) they hassle all the common people. The actual thieves, who tend to be stupid but clever are unaffected. I'd like to be wrong. But "eso si que es" in my humble opinion. (that is it.)
I am the only tenant here now. I have no idea how Andrew is so aware of the local news while I remain unaware. Age and linguistic abilities, I suppose.
