Did I Spot A UFO? (Enhanced Photo 07/14/19)

This week I drove down to SMA by myself.  It was a beautiful drive and I had the opportunity to listen to talk radio in Spanish.  The topic is our illustrious president who has, in less than six months in power, plunged the country into a recession, implemented an austerity program that has cut all scientific research, given money to adolescents to study (sounds great but they are spending it on cellphones, alcohol, and pot) and has already had 19 cabinet resignations, two of which are for the secretary of finance.  And he wonders why S&P, Fitch Rating, Moody's, Bank of America and even our own Banxico have downed rated the country three times already this year.  

I took our most popular route across the mountains.  I didn´t want to take pictures while driving so I only got a couple:




You can see a white speck in the middle of the picture above the third peak to the right.

I attempted to enlarge it but not very successfully.  If you can do it, it appears to be a square-shaped box with a pyramidal top. 



There was not a of traffic on Hwy 57 from San Roberto but it was a long enough day I decided to stop and continue on the next day.  I also got a late start but figured, I'm not in a hurry anymore. 

So we are housesitting for the next week.  Juan took the bus down last night and arrived today (Friday) around 8 a.m.  With our new senior discount card the fare was only 500 pesos and they served him a beverage, sandwich and snack plus individual movie screens and headphones.  What a deal!



Our friend Barbara took off on a short trip to the U.S. and we are guarding the fort and caring for her precious fur kid Pea.  She's a dream but she misses her mom.  We take her for walks and try to keep her entertained.  

The house is located in a small compound and it is very comfortable, well-decorated and we could stay forever.

Tomorrow is a hike in the morning and in the evening a flamenco concert.
