Mucha DiverZIHón y Alegría

At the crack of dawn groups of tourists began arriving to the waterfront this Thursday, most awaiting the water taxis to Las Gatas. However, I was surprised to see a camp of about 5 tents grouped together on the beach, what locals jokingly call "Hotel Camarena", and a few others with the same group sleeping under the open sky. They were eventually told to leave by city workers who recommended they go to the campground at Playa Linda.

We enjoyed absolutely picture-postcard-perfect weather again today. The water in the bay is crystal clear, and the temperature remains quite nice between 26.6 and 27.2°C. It doesn't look like the ocean is going to get any cooler this year, and that's probably not good for the marine life. A light breeze helped keep folks comfortable even though it got up to 32°C today.

Momma whale and her baby were still in the bay this morning, but later in the afternoon a captain friend of mine said he saw her making her way out about 20 miles or so from the coast heading westward, I suspect to seek others of her kind and to find a favorable current to help take her and her baby northward. I hope they make it.

For folks looking for beachfront lodging at Playa La Ropa, have a look at Embarc Villa 403. A lovely two-bedroom vacation condo with terraces and a privileged view of Zihuatanejo Bay. Features A/C, TVs, internet, private dip pool, common pool, pool bar, restaurant, gym, beach chairs with palapas, and 24-hour security. A great location!
