Since Paloma, the weather here has been quite cool.  Not cold, but very cool which is actually great for a few reasons.  I am sure the tourists here would not agree since with the cool weather there has been a good dose of wind that has made for very choppy seas and not that much sun.  Why is the cool weather great? First, utility costs ; when its hot, the electricity bill is huge because of frequent use of air conditioning.  For the last two weeks, I cant recall when we last used the a/c. Secondly, after the crazy heat of July & August, a nice breeze  and low humidity is definitely welcome.  Finally, with cooler weather, we get cooler water … hurricanes like very warm water.

One picture from right after Paloma … Julie looking for some bread at the local supermarket.  Obviously stock was low since people took supplies before the storm.

Here was my drive to work one morning. It went down to 23 degrees but by the time I got to my parking it was back to 24.  For you Fahrenheit people, 23c is equal to +- 73f which is quite cool for here. I saw some locals with jackets on!

Upon arrival to my parking space ; the sunrise!  Nice, but probably means that I get to work a bit too early 🙂

A final thing.  Why is this chicken on my roof? Its looking down at something and does not look like it wants to come down.

Here is the explanation.  My Husky Aipa spotted this chicken and chased it.   It took flight to the roof and took refuge there.

Guests arrriving in a few weeks for the Christmas period.  Hope it does get a tad warmer so that they can enjoy the beach & ocean.
