Una Mañana FresqueZIHta

https://youtu.be/EC-jIiYq03s

It was a nipper 17°C in Zihuatanejo this morning. Someone reported 15°C, but that may have been at elevation, not near the water. It isn't expected to get as cool tonight, but the temperature is already quite mild and comfortable and promises perfect sleeping weather.

Both Playa Las Gatas and Isla Ixtapa were full to capacity, and visitors had to wait for people to leave before being allowed to take boats over, which of course was a useless measure in the case of people who walked to Las Gatas. It's a shame to see the natural beauty so abused and trampled by so many people. The tradeoff of tourism.

The Paseo del Pescador was so crowded this evening that it was difficult walking from one end to the other. Too many people pay no attention to where they're walking, and even less attention to other people around them. When people walk right at me oblivious to their surroundings, I just put my hands up and say ¿bailamos?

But the waterfront restaurants weren't full. Several were quite empty, in fact. Underscoring the fact that thanks to shortsighted people in charge of local and regional tourism, we've traded a higher quality of tourist for a higher body count that spends considerably less and will never be sustainable. Thanks to the personal ambitions of our politicians.

Don't forget to visit the Eco-Tianguis "Sanka" across the street from the Museo Arqueológico de la Costa Grande from 9 A.M. to 1:30 P.M. Saturday mornings. And in La Ropa next to Casa Tucanes is "Las Iguanas Bazar" on Saturday and Sunday from 9 A.M. to 3 P.M. with local artisans and merchants and lots of sustainable products.

If you enjoy spectacular views of Zihuatanejo's bay, then A View at the Sea may be the vacation lodging you're looking for. This is a beautiful 2-bedroom condo with a terrace at the "Casa Que Ve Al Mar" complex, and it features a fully equipped kitchen, internet access, cable & satellite TV, 24-hour security, and a pool and sundeck right out the front door.
