What a World Cup Final! Possibly the best final match we've ever seen, and an American team won!

Water temp in the bay dropped below 27°C today. Last evening and this morning were quite nipper. It's supposed to dip into the teens again tonight, 19°C or so. Glad I don't have a fireplace so I don't have to worry about chopping any wood. We'll just put an extra sheet or a light blanket on the bed and snuggle a bit. Does the trick every time.

The downtown beach was quite peaceful this morning, in contrast to the celebrations of the evening before.

Any update on the whale tangled in the fishing net?

Local port and naval authorities were unable to approach the whale. It kept sounding and swimming away at great speed. Apparently the netting and buoys aren't causing much impairment to the whale at the moment. It has been seen in different videos and by eyewitnesses swimming southward along our coast, slapping its tail trying to free itself of the ropes. Regional authorities to our south have been notified, and I'm confident fishermen and authorities will continue spotting it, reporting its progress and trying to help it.

I paid increased taxi fares the last 3 times I've used a taxi. Anyone else having this problem?

Sorry to hear you got overcharged. If you don't know the fare to your destination, consult my rate sheet. If you're taking a taxi from a hotel, you need to walk off the premises to get the local rates since hotel sitios are allowed to charge more since they usually do less business. If they don't respect the authorized rates phone their office and report them on the spot (office numbers are listed on my page). One way to assure you get the right fare is to simply call for a taxi and be sure they give you the authorized rate. You'll only pay 5 pesos more than the listed fare.

Local Taxi Rates

From Zihua to Ixtapa $120. They all quote me the same price. I show them your rate sheet, that I have on my phone, and they show me their rate sheet that I can't read due to bad lighting and small print.

Their rate sheet is a fraud. It only has the rubber stamps of their offices (APAAZ, UTAAZ, UTZI or the other syndicates), NOT the signature of Lic. Arturo Salinas Sandoval (Director de la Comisión Técnica de Transporte y Vialidad) and the stamp of his office. Please don't let them fool you with that old trick. The request to raise local public transport rates was denied. 45 taxis in Chilpancingo are being fined for overcharging, and it looks like some local taxis need to be fined as well, but first they have to be reported.
