A little more about Crucecita

The tourists may not be up yet but the locals get going early.  We met our waiter from the hotel out on the street this morning.  Women and men were jogging.  The drum section at the collegio was practicing in uniform in the courtyard.   Parents were dropping their kids off at the nearby elementary school.  A teacher greeted each child with "good morning, how are you" in English and "tenga un buen dia" to the parents as they drove away.  We walked to the main plaza to look at the local church as worshipers were beginning to arrive.  One local guy brought his finger to his lips to remind me to be silent inside.  I was. The vegetable and meat markets were busy as folks started their daily shopping.  The roads are good here, the taxi drivers polite and soft spoken, and the streets have little litter.  The beach had recycling containers for organic matter as well as plastic and the rest.  You can see by new construction that they are trying to grow their share of tourism.
