Even with Zihuatanejo's streets and waterfront all repaved, brightly lit and spruced up and with beaches certified Blue Flag, we still don't seem to be attracting tourists who bring much money to spend on their vacation. Mr. Mayor, the painted cement and colored lights trick isn't working.

Just a reminder folks that when you see a cocodrilo swimming in the water, please respect its space and don't stand between it and the estuary it's trying to reach where it lives like some foolish people did early this morning at La Ropa where they gawked and complained and stood with cellphone in hand blocking the croc from leaving the water. And please don't call local authorities because they really haven't a clue what they're doing, but they'll pretend they do, which is usually bad for the cocodrilo and possibly for other people, too. Some guy even had the nerve to complain that the beach was supposed to be certified, like that meant it should be devoid of any non-human life.

While I haven't noticed hardly any mosquitoes, there's talk going around about dengue. So remember to keep screen doors closed if you have them or to use mosquito control measures so that they don't bite you. Since it hasn't rained much this past week, there shouldn't be many mosquitoes, but they're usually found around gardens, in case you have or live near one.

If you think you could stand waking up every day to the scene in the photo to the right (click on the photo), then Kokopeli in Troncones is the place where you should spend your vacation. This is a 3BR vacation home with a pool and plenty of privacy located right on the beach within easy walking distance of the village as well as several stores and restaurants. Location, location, location!

Un par de borrachos observan mientras dos jóvenes practican yoga en Playa Principal durante el amanecer en la bahía de Zihuatanejo.

On the way back from our paddle this am, probably about 8am, we saw a man beating the water in front of La Arena. This is a place where a number of our local citizens meet in the morning and have walk and a dip.

When we were on our walk earlier, three of of them headed out to the water and waved at us.

When we were returning form our paddle, probably an hour plus after that, they were sitting at the table watching the world. A friend, also a paddler, asked us what was happening.

There was a man with a stick beating the water just where the water rose up, and kept it up on and on. We thought about landing and finding out what was going on but when we saw that "los senores" weren't concerned, we didn't because they would protect any turtles or crocs.

Don't think that there was even one in the ocean.

We have tons of mosquitos in La Noria - depends on what your neighbors are doing, too. Just watch out for them (the zankudos, not the neighbors).
