Todavía Mucha PrecauZIHón

What a picture-postcard-perfect day we enjoyed this Monday in Zihuatanejo! Barely any tourists around, but again, there were several people swimming at the downtown beach in spite of the water still being polluted from the rain runoff. A shame the city government won't place signs at the beaches warning tourists of the danger. As if they don't really care. Where are their water quality reports now?

Last evening's rain brought the temps down nicely making for perfect sleeping weather. It was so cool this morning I was huddling under the sheet.

The ocean seems to have calmed down, but it will soon have more big waves from the storm currently forming up to the south of Acapulco that is expected to pass our way by next weekend. The Guerrero doesn't need any more rain at the moment, especially Acapulco. As it is, several bridges are out along the coast and in the sierra, and because of having to open the floodgates at the Infiernillo dam, the Río Balsas is just a few short meters from flooding completely the bridges that span it.

Currently there are several provisional crossings of rivers and road washouts between Zihuatanejo and Acapulco, thanks to the military and the locals working so hard to repair them, so at least we aren't cut off from Acapulco at the moment. More rain could easily undo all that work. Atoyac and Técpan are especially having a hard time with losing much of their crops and cattle as well as with the rivers flooding.

Schools will remain closed due to the threat from the storm currently sitting off the coast of Acapulco. I think they're being overly cautious. There's no reason the children of Zihuatanejo shouldn't be in school now. They've missed too much already.

Surfers have been taking advantage of the swells still reaching us from the passing storms, and Troncones is still a good place to catch some waves.

A perfect lodging for enjoying a relaxing vacation in Troncones is Casa de la Luna. A luxurious 2BR 2-story main house and a 1BR guesthouse, both with A/C, that together can accommodate up to 8 persons, located on the beach with a large sundeck upstairs and a refreshing pool in front of the living and dining area.
