After a perfect night for sleeping, we awoke to a beautiful overcast morning in Zihuatanejo. It stayed overcast for much of the day, and the humidity kept creeping upwards, but so far still no real rain in over 2 weeks.

The pan dulce we got from Panadería La Boquita was delicious with our licuados de plátano and fresh locally grown coffee this morning. So was our comida of onion soup, salad, chicken in some dreamy cream sauce, and frijoles with tortillas delivered to our home from La Jaiba Feliz. Every day I'm thankful for our fresh local fare. Nothing frozen. Nothing imported. Most of our food comes from the region. And living downtown where everything we need is within easy walking distance is icing on the cake. I just might be the luckiest Gringo in Mexico! B-)

Another big swirly thing is predicted to be sitting around 600 km off our coast by next Saturday. As long as it doesn't loop back towards us, as storms tend to do at this time of year, we should be okay.

The streets and beaches seemed practically void of visitors today. As cooler weather advances in the far northern latitudes, we should start seeing more visitors from there. Hopefully they can find the flights they need. Our local tourism authorities seem to just simulate their jobs while collecting healthy paychecks, attending lots of parties, and travelling to places we don't really receive any tourists from. It's been decades since anyone has truly done any serious targeted advertising for Zihuatanejo-Ixtapa, and it shows in our loss of visitors with the purchasing power we need. I do what I can, but I don't have their budgets. I count on people like you helping to spread the word by telling your family and friends about us. You folks remain our best advertisers.

We also has Jaiba Feliz for breakfast, but we ate at the restaurant as we do regularly. Flor is on vacation, but the regular waiter, who always brings me a full pitcher of water, apologized for the "machine made tortillas" because there was only one woman doing all the cooking this morning. The food, as always was spectacular, and the tortillas, fine, but not hecho a mano.
