¡VIVA MÉXICO!

It got down to 23°C last night, so cool we had to turn the fan down and sleep under the sheets. One of the best parts of the rainy season!

This Thursday morning you could feel the anticipation and excitement in the air. Folks everywhere were wearing their green t-shirts in support of the Mexican national fútbol team. The opening ceremonies for the Cope Mundial were extraordinary, at least for Mexicans. The air was supercharged with energy and pride. Most Mexicans are extremely proud that Mexico is hosting the World Cup and holding the opening ceremonies and first game. People were cheering everywhere as Mexico scored. Winning 2-0 over South Africa had us all smiling ear to ear throughout the day, full of satisfaction and pride, even though the win was expected.

And of course, as if right on cue, the criminal regime to the north issued another even stricter travel warning for Mexico. I think they're afraid of U.S. citizens discovering what a wonderful place Mexico is and spending their money here instead of in the States.

The whale that washed ashore on the beach in Troncones was buried under the sand today by local authorities, but the pit didn't look very deep, and I wouldn't want to walk or sit on that part of the beach for at least a few months. Waterfront residents were frantic and in a panic because of the smell.

While the ocean is relatively calm for the moment and the swells are expected to remain around a meter and a half for the weekend, the Armada is issuing an alert for Monday for another mar de fondo event with swells expected from 2 to 3 meters. Much of the severity of its effect depends on the tides. I expect the pier at Playa Linda will again have to be closed.

No rain in the forecast for the next week, and very few visitors around even though our weather is absolutely picture-postcard perfect.

For a totally relaxing Bed & Breakfast lodging overlooking the remaining jungle in La Ropa, I highly recommend a hidden gem called Casa Arcoíris. The view of the sunset over the treetops from their pool is breathtaking, and the peace and quiet will relieve you of any stress. Five comfortable suites with air conditioning, TV, and Wi-Fi access at this LGBTQ-friendly lodging make it somewhat exclusive and definitely enchanting. Mention ZihuaRob's and get a discount.
