Los Días Finales de DiZIHembre

https://youtu.be/pNoOse-_-Ho

Zihuatanejo and the region continues to receive record numbers of visitors. I feel bad for the garbage collectors and the street and beach sweepers. While the visitors we're seeing on Playa Principal are doing a very good job cleaning up after themselves, the garbage bins need more frequent emptying than normal, and workers in the downtown area are doing a superhuman job. Sales are good for many vendors, but we noticed there were hardly any extranjeros out this evening, and so the restaurants they usually fill along the waterfront barely had any customers. I guess because it's near impossible to find a parking space downtown, and even the taxis are having a rough time getting around, if you can find one. They are also price gouging, so be wary of that.

It was so cold when I woke up this morning I could almost see my breath. Almost.

Once again, passage was restricted to Playa Las Gatas and Isla Ixtapa because too many people showed up. The government says it's trying to help save the wildlife, but the marine life is so severely damaged and even with the limits, no one is paying attention to what people actually touch or stand on in the water. There needs to be signs on the beaches saying DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING UNDERWATER in Spanish and English. I don't understand why people feel they need to touch everything and handle what few creatures they can get their hands on.

Our absolutely picture-postcard-perfect weather continues, but a mar de fondo event is expected for our coast. This one is kind of an unusual event because it's predicted to generate 8' to 10' waves from 24 to 200 nautical miles off our coast, and waves from 5' to 7' along the coast out to 24 nautical miles. Surfers will be delighted, but our inland visitors may have a rough time of it. So if you're at the beach, try to help keep an eye on each other if the waves get big or the currents get strong.

Centrally located and very affordable, Condo Serenidad #2 is a 1-bedroom condo overlooking Playa La Madera in Zihuatanejo that offers many comforts to make you feel at home on your vacation. It enjoys an extremely lovely view of the beach and bay, and with the large picture window open, it has a very open-air feel and receives refreshing breezes through the palm trees in front. This vacation rental condo has a full kitchen, Wi-fi, A/C, and cable TV as well as a pool on the property and 24-hour security. Easy walking distance to many restaurants as well as downtown shopping.

Lástima que el último alcalde mochó la playa con su cemento. Hay tantos turistas para las vacaciones navideñas que nos hace falta más playa en Playa Principal de Zihuatanejo.
