Around 5:00 p.m. today a group of us JW visitors to Ixtapa gathered on the beach to watch the sunset. Everyone brought something for the gang to munch on and to drink, from wine to Coke. Just a word about Coke: When a Coca-Cola delivery truck pulls up to a store to deliver the product, there is usually a passenger in back who sits on the crates and debarks at delivery time. He is a uniformed policeman with his automatic weapon. The other day in service I was talking to a man when a Coke truck stopped across the street and the policeman stood guard as they unloaded the soda. I asked the man, "Why do they need a policeman with an assault weapon just to deliver Coke?" He explained with all seriousness, "Oh yes, sometimes there are bad guys who want to steal some." So? You'd think they were unloading the crown jewels. It's pop.
Anyway we succeeded in sharing family-size bottles of Coke on the beach without military protection.
Here is a shot of part of the group. Others, including us, were further back, off the beach.
... and here is how today's sunset looked:
Although I did not fail to photograph the sunset, as noted above we spent most of the evening at an off-beach table. I was with two brothers, discussing scriptural questions and sharing observations from personal research. It was a stimulating conversation. It's always enjoyable to discuss things with folks who are analytically inclined and pay attention to details.

We had a great evening and the sun did not disappoint. It was stunning. Linda, the two brothers Ed spoke with were Bob Lester and Dave Armstrong. As you know, both very interesting.
