Dat Ol' Zih Magic

Man oh man am I ever The Luckiest Gringo in Mexico! I get to wake up each day next to an angel and enjoy the morning smells of the nearby bakery mixed with the smell of fresh ground coffee brewing and the ever-present fragrance of the tropical sea. All my favorites!

Things are finally calming down after the New Year celebrations as people run out of fireworks. Thank goodness! Families continue arriving all excited to be at the beach, radiant with the most beautiful smiles on faces young and old. A walk along the waterfront to the pier at night is like swimming against the current as the throngs of tourists continue arriving from Playa Las Gatas well after dark, all sunburned and tired but still happy to be here with their family and friends. And early the next morning more families are arriving and discovering the beach and marveling at the sunrise. I practically had to stand in line to get a couple of photos of the morning's splendorous colors. I hope you like them.
