¡Recibimos una LluviaZIHta!

Thanks to you, I'm learning a little more Spanish every day. I was confused by the caption accompanying the beach photo:

"La salida del sol sobre la bahía de Zihuatanejo con el mar muy tranquilo."

My limited Spanish says "entrada" and "salida" mean "entrance" and "exit", respectively. So,"la salida del sol" must mean "the exiting of the sun" ....i.e.sunset.

But we've been to Zihua several times in mid-November, and never saw the sun setting over La Madera or La Ropa.

Sure enough, defying common sense, ( at least MY common sense), Google translates "la salida del sol" as "sunrise."

I'll have to remember that next time an airport sign directs us to "salida."

Salir, besides meaning "to leave", also translates as "to come out", "to go out" or "to get out". Depending on the context. And while la salida is the exit, la salida del sol is the sunrise: the coming out of the sun.
