The Washington Post has a great article about Zihuatanejo. They even quote a certain ex-pat and reference his website. (I wonder if they just stole a few of his photos?)

Normally, this would be behind a paywall. However, supposedly subscribers can "gift" up to 10 articles per month. I hope I gifted it correctly so you can all read it.

I was a little concerned, not nervous, when my phone was blowing up with messages from friends asking if I read the WAPO, especially around Tax Season.

I encouraged all to get a real feel, and like the Price is Right, "Come on down!"

I can't thank you enough, ML! I signed up for a subscription!

What a nice job you did describing our music scene and much of our local culture so that folks not from here could grasp it. Lots of really nice details about our town and some of its wonderful people. Spot on. And nice photos, too. Zihuatanejo owes you a debt of gratitude as do I. Come back soon to collect. ;-)

Un cálido saludo.

Nice that Zihua's Solo Tres is finally getting some well-deserved mention, both in text and photo, something that, for some odd reason, has been notably absent here on the Board.
