I came across this video yesterday. It dawned on me this morning that I first visited Zihuatanejo 50 years ago this summer.

A simpler time. Technology has made some great advances but
sometimes I think it is swallowing our souls...

I second that. Video almost put a tear in my eye. Should be put on the big screen at Guitar Fest.

Really, really great video! THANK YOU so much! And super positive and insightful comments too. Yes...... a simpler time.....is a better time. But we can always return to that simplicity....here, now! Really! It is always here, although so many things nowadays say otherwise. But it is STILL always here. Look closer. Look deeper. Make changes within yourself.

Great video! I first went to Zihuatanejo for Easter vacation in 1972 when I was 17 years old. I came back and spent the summer of 1972 there also. I was hooked and still pop in for a month or two every year! That old video was definitely a trip!!

I have a friend who built his house near the Hospital General (across Avenida Morelos from city hall) in the early 1970s. When they were excavating for the foundation, they kept finding empty beer bottles and soft drink bottles.

The site had been at the end of the airstrip. A common entertainment was to sit at the end of the runway to see the occasional plane land or take off. Of course, that was daytime entertainment because the planes couldn’t land or take off at night.
