Dead turtle washed up near hotel
Recala tortuga muerta en hotel
0 03 de noviembre de 2013 Police received a report that a dead turtle was seen at the edge of the sea near the Avalon Hotel after guests reported it to hotel security. The municipal police took the report and notified the municipal Ecology Agency, who took charge of the remains. Cristina Medina Figueroa, director of Ecology, said the animal was about six years old and had apparently died from being caught in a net, because there were severe marks in the neck area. The body was buried at the Tortugranja, as was the previous dead turtle found on October 9th. Both were of the species "Hawksbill".

Areas of flooding with intense rainfall
Ineficaz dirección de Protección Civil
0 03 de noviembre de 2013 Intense rains began falling in the predawn hours on Sunday as a result of Cold Front #10, causing flooding around the island, which the unnamed reporter blames on the Civil Protection agency, saying they need to maintain the catchment basins (pozos pluviales).
Mauro Humberto Rodríguez Velázquez, Director of the Civil Protection agency, said they were working on Saturday and most of Sunday, but large puddles occur when the drains are obstructed by trash, which negligent people throw in the streets. He said, "The problem is many people leave bags of trash on the street and this ends up clogging the storm drains. For this reason, they need to keep their patios and front areas clear and clean."
The pumps were running continuously, but could not match the rate of runoff, and the water levels rose in the salinas (lakes). There were puddles on Hidalgo despite the running of that pump, but it did not "turn into a lake like previous years".

Back in Isla Mujeres..... From the Spay & Neuter clinic which continues today (rain or shine) Marla Bainbridge posts: Aubie has a friend..... Aubie is cute about it. He keeps trying to wake up Ernie to play. Ernie is like " dude, back off! I'm sleeping."
Ernie (on the left) is called DC or Dirty Curly in the bottom/Before photo. Ernie/DC is a stray that Marla & Javi are feeding, and he is going "home" with meds to help him heal...and looking for a 'forever' home. Aubie is Marla's dog (on right).

Isla Animals Daily Update: So, I want to introduce you to every dog here since of course they are all wonderful. This is one of our Moma’s babes and I call her Feather because she has the most wonderful tufts of fur under her chin. She’s been staying upstairs with me because she’s a bit of an escape artist and then runs around the driveway making all the other dogs bark. Yesterday was the first day of our island clinic and we worked way too late but we spayed and neutered 18 cats and dogs which was great because we got a late start. Sadly we’ve had to put off the Spay the Mommas campaign because there is distemper on the island and I just can’t risk bringing the virus into the clinic. After the clinic is over Eileen and I are going to go out to the Guatalupana to check things out. Distemper is the worst disease because it has different stages that can look like so many other illnesses. It can give the dogs diarrhea, respiratory issues, infected eyes and a runny nose, lethargy and loss of appetite and then finally it affects their nervous system, worse than that the dogs can have all of those symptoms or just one etc etc. It’s the devil, especially in a rescue situation because if the dog survives he or she can be contagious for up to 5 months. Just a nightmare. My friend Trish has told me that I have to put the link to the donation part of my web site on every post and Pamela says I have to remind you all to vote every day. I’m lucky to have such friends. http://

My Photos around MVC...
This morning around sunrise from the back balcony at MVC....
Bicycle riding mason mixing concrete in the driveway, building more storage space. The building materials were delivered, but I didn't see how he got the boards for the scaffolding to the site.Taken on Friday & Saturday.
On the 28th when we walked by the Navy hospital, there was smoke coming out & some staff members casually standing outside. No sirens or excitement & Freddy at the Peso said it looked like it was coming from the area of the cafeteria.
Tony Garcia Too bad. I had a group of 20. People for today. To isla Contoy. Weather bad conditions to go
