Noise and dust!

Day three in PV with repaving taking place on the highway below us. Even the cows have to wait for one way travel, usually a 15-20 minute wait with impatient drivers honking their horns incessantly! They don't tear up the existing roadway. They build on top of the old road which results in a lack of access to and from any of the side streets. You're out of luck if you wanted to turn into the gas station down the hill or any of the other businesses because there is a one foot difference in height...it's a drop-off! with the usual Mexican lack of forethought that has resulted in major frustrations. When they finally repave the highway section at the bottom of our road, all the residents up here will be unable to drive down the road and get(up) onto the highway until they drop a load of dirt and gravel to create an ONramp!! Endless noise and dust!

On the bright side, we have sunny skies, calm seas and a pool full of crystal clear water that is very inviting. Oranges and limes are plentiful on our trees. The cupboards and fridge are full of food in case we find ourselves trapped by the road construction. There is really no reason to complain and every reason to be grateful!
