There was some excitement in town this last week. A drug bust down by the school that’s by the airport was one of them. We were standing outside our place when we thought we heard shots. One of our neighbors said it was bottle rockets. We felt that the sounds were to close together for bottle rockets. I have heard several different stories from one man getting wounded in the leg to four getting killed. I really think the wounded story is the right one.
There was also a kidnapping. Somehow this man brought down four new cars. He was showing them off in Santa Cruz, and strutting around. Somehow drugs are involved in this but I am not sure just how. The kidnappers asked for 200,000.00 pesos. They were given 100,000.00 and one of the cars. The police got involved and shots were fired. Again we have been told someone was wounded or someone was killed. We only get news like this through the rumor mill.
Larry was setting down when (he thought) his back started to hurt. It would hurt most when he stood up or sat down. It got so bad that he couldn’t walk for any distance at all. He could still ride his bike; he likes to take an early morning ride down to the beach.
After a week of it hurting and it wasn’t getting any better, he decided to go to the doctor. At this point he thinks the pain is more in the groin area.
He is waiting for the doctor.
The doctor gave him some pain pills and a muscle relaxer, 350 pesos. We had to back to the doctor today, no charge. He sent us to another place to get x-rays, 300 pesos. It looks like Larry has calcium deposits in one of his hip joints. The doctor made Larry an appointment with a specialist in Tepic for tomorrow. We have to go to his office first so he can call and make sure the appointment hasn’t been changed, making it a wasted trip.
It does get foggy here.
The bird festival started this week, there will be dancers, music, and skits on the stage at the plaza all week. People come here from all over to see the birds. We rode our bikes down to the lagoon to see if we could see any rosette spoonbills. We spotted 4. I think the birds come here to see the tourists.
