Grab your long johns 'cause it's supposed to get way down to 17°C tonight and 16°C the following night. Brrrrr! Gonna have to light a FIRE! Or someone else's.

Contrary to what we were told this morning, the GuitarFest is once again unintentionally creating animosity and an air of elitism by blocking the entrance to the pier and making mostly Mexican tourists and locals walk the smelly dirty dark broken and frankly dangerous walkway behind the building of the Capitanía del Puerto while mostly wealthy-looking foreigners have their party at the pier's entrance. This is how animosity is created. I understand it is the decision of the municipal government. But event organizers need to realize the current municipal government makes a lot of very poor decisions, and they should insist to simply do the right thing and allow a path to and from the pier at the entrance for people not attending the event. Unless they don't mind generating animosity, but I don't believe that.

Between the meet-n-greet screwup at the Catalina running its guests off the beach and blocking the pier entrance, that's already 2 strikes against the public image of the GuitarFest, and it has barely gotten under way. Oops.

There've been some waves in Zihuatanejo Bay lately. Not too big. Maybe a meter high at the most, but they sure make for wonderful sleeping sounds.

One of the nicest lodgings at Troncones that seems to have something for everyone is Casa de La Sirena. A luxurious private beachfront compound in Troncones featuring a 3-bedroom villa with a private pool, three 1-bedroom MiniVillas, and two side-by-side 2-story 1-bedroom bungalows that share a pool. Truly an oasis in paradise!

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you are portraying. I am a volunteer at the Guitar Fest and and watched as mostly Mexican tourists were escorted off the pier and not through the "smelly dirty dark broken and frankly dangerous walkway behind the building of the Capitanía del Puerto", but through the main exit/entrance.
I did not then see any 'mostly Mexican tourists' try to enter the pier passing by the "smelly dirty dark broken and frankly dangerous walkway behind the building of the Capitanía del Puerto".
I wasn't precisely monitoring exits and entrances so perhaps I did not see everything nor clearly.
Are you suggesting that "mostly wealthy-looking foreigners" are seen as wealthy because they are white?
Again I am not privy to bank accounts but I didn't particularly see a significant amount of 'wealthy-looking foreigners'.
Further, again I did not tally, but of course there were Mexican looking tourists to be seen.
And further if you did not want to pony up 200 pesos for a 4 hour concert offering the guitar and vocal wizardry of I think 17 acts, you could stand/sit on the side by the rocks and listen.
The Catalina 'Affair' I have to agree is much ado about nothing. And while I admire Dr. Tim for his valuable contributions to this board, I think he has let something get the better of him. I suspect he is already looking for an excuse to escape the Catalina and this was some precious fodder.
By the way I'll likely be at the Meet and Greet. I'll try to report back...
