Step children

One election is over, and another begins. We are now in the beginning phase of campaigning,  and I for one, am not falling for the promises again. My beach communities of San Jacinto,  San Alejo and San Clemente are part of the canton Sucre, which is "based" out of Bahia de Caraquez and we have been forgotten time and time again. Hence the step children title, the issues arise and they make promises to get votes and year after year nothing happens.

This is just one of the worst corners, and interestingly is right down the street from the Co op bank...yet, even when the bank does "improvements" it is to install bus benches...really?! Is it because a bus bench can be seen? And fixed drainage is invisible?

I became "friends" on Facebook with the mayor recently to voice my displeasure on her taking away our fleet of mototaxis and...was Blocked! I can no longer comment on her posts, nor can I even like a comment of someone elses! Wow, guess she really cares what this "gringa" has to say...

She (the mayor) posted the other day the new plans for a skating rink to open in Bahia. WHAT?! Our streets are filled with rain and ocean water, our side streets impassable because of sticky deep mud and Bahia is getting a Skating Rink?! So sad, the "little guys" are Out of sight, out of mind. Grrr

Ok, rant over. So...stay safe, stay dry (if here in Ec) and stay tuned, the adventure continues,  even if a little muddy and wet.
