the rest of us who have to live here. Not to mention that it is mad hot here in the summer so winter is our vacation time too and having so many people clogging up the roads and restaurants is a little irritating.

But I know this is tourist town and tourism brings in a lot of money so I keep my mouth shut - unless it is to other locals.
