Index of Subjects Heya Bob, Things have been crazy down here too. We havnīt had the wind but if you havenīt heard I didnīt come down here at the best time in the century LOL. http://news.sympatico.msn.cbc.ca/Thousands+stranded+without+food+water+after+Mexican+floods/World/ContentPosting.aspx?isfa=1&newsitemid=mexico-floods&feedname=CBC-WORLD-V2&show=False&number=0&showbyline=True&subtitle=&detect=&abc=abc Our house is not flooded but the neighborhood is worried because there is an 8 foot high wall of sandbags that is leaking water quite rapidly. In 1999 the whole neighborhood flooded and that time was nothing like now. It is good they made a dyke along the river where it passes our neighborhood. Since there was no running water and food and drinking water was low and immpossible to buy we left Villahermosa Friday and drove to Coatzacoalcos to stay. Sunday we drove on to Veracruz to get some work done on the car since that is the nearest Volvo dealer. We hope to get the car back at lunch time and drive back to Villahermosa today. I havenīt had time to do any birdwatching as you can imagine but I did get another lifer last night in Veracruz in the most unlikely place. On the beach in front of our hotel was a Thicknee. Had great looks at it for 30 minutes but the camera batteries are dead. Also saw some Magnificant Frigatebirds, Black Terns and of Course many Brown Pelicans. On the drive were every kind of Egret you can expect here as well as lots of Black-necked Stints. Had a Blue-crowned Motmot fly over our car as well on the way here. Talk to you again when I get back.
