At 7 o´clock in the morning on April 15, a hail storm colored streets white in San Francisco. On April 17, a lusty rooster crowed. A warm breeze blew. I was back in Mexico and two whales had been seen in Banderas Bay this past week. They may have been the last until November.

| FRUTA EN VENTA EN LA CARRETERA A SAN JUAN DE ABAJO |
Once making the turn east at Mezcales, this is a rural, peaceful drive an hour from centro Vallarta. I passed small fields of corn and larger, parched fields with cows holding their heads close to the ground searching for grass. A truck in front of me carrying crowded cattle turned off the main road and I hoped to not give in to an In n´Out Burger in California. Passing taco stands with bony, black dogs lingering nearby, I stopped to buy green grapes, red grapes, mangos and strawberries that had made the long journey from Michoacan and Aguascalientes. Across the street in front of a vet´s clinic, four white baby bunnies and a chicken and rooster were in cages and for sale - as pets and providers of eggs.
