LOTS of Military police in town

We just walked into town for dinner from Playa La Madera and noticed 5 large military convoy trucks parked where the buses usually park by the canal. Is this normal for the weekends lately or did something happen?. We were on Cinco de Mayo and saw a lot of military driving by also heading toward the pier. I know I have read that they have been sending more into town but hadn't seen any real presence this week so far. Just curious. Thanks for any insight. By the way, have a wonderful time here relaxing, eating, wandering, swimming and enjoying our home away from home! So good, as always to be back.

The Orquesta Filarmónica de la 75 Batallón de Infantería came up from Petatlán where they're based and put on a lovely show at Zihuatanejo's main plaza on the waterfront. I don't know how you missed them. I posted some photos on my Twitter and Facebook pages. Hundreds of folks had a great time. Especially when some locals danced the traditional Danzón.

Aaah....we did see them setting up as we walked to dinner but I guess I didn't realize it was all related. We should have walked back after we ate but we were tired and full so just headed home. Glad it was for anything more then entertainment and culture! Thank you!
