Lots of people were out and about.  There was some social distancing and mask wearing but it was certainly not 100%.  There were less restrictions here than in Guadalajara.  Restaurants did not have to close here however bars still needed to remain closed (any establishment that only serves alcohol)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.cowell.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/PXL_20201229_230826344-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-544\" width=\"614\" height=\"345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.cowell.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/PXL_20201229_230826344-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.cowell.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/PXL_20201229_230826344-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.cowell.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/PXL_20201229_230826344-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.cowell.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/PXL_20201229_230826344-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.cowell.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/PXL_20201229_230826344-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blog.cowell.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/PXL_20201229_230826344-500x281.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 614px) 100vw, 614px\" \/><figcaption>Another view from Mirador Cerro de La Cruz, this time facing the ocean<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The second day we did the hike up the the cross.
