This Thursday morning didn't seem quite as cool as Wednesday morning, but it was refreshing nevertheless. Some high clouds kept the temperature mild for much of the morning, but trash burning from the municipal dump left a pall and an unpleasant odor all around Zihuatanejo Bay. Bummer.

As the day warmed and the breeze shifted, the smoke cleared before noon, and it turned into another picture-postcard-perfect day in paradise. Not many visitors around to enjoy it, but things should pick up a bit this weekend since it's a puente for Día de la Revolución Mexicana, and Monday is the official day of rest. However, the downtown parade doesn't happen until November 20, the actual Día de la Revolución Mexicana. Odd that the government didn't let the following weekend be our long weekend instead of this one.

A sad day for a family of vacationers from Salamanca, Guanajuato at La Ropa who had a family member drown in front of Rossy's restaurant late this afternoon. My heart goes out to them.

Still no lights after dark at the municipal pier. Going on 6 months now. Total disregard for the pier's daily users and visitors. All for a totally unwanted and unnecessary expensive project that only leaves Zihuatanejo looking less like Zihuatanejo while filling the pockets of the mayor's family with the taxpayers' money.

Year after year, event after event, our municipal government shows zero regard for the animals at the Sociedad Protectora de Animales en Zihuatanejo (SPAZ) with their fireworks on the downtown beach right in front of Casa Marina where SPAZ has been located for 44 years. It doesn't matter how often the matter is brought to their attention or how many people ask them to be more respectful towards the animals, the elderly and young children with special needs. And this Thursday evening was again no exception. The fireworks followed an event with little children at the Cancha Municipal with the sound volume at harmful levels for such little children. Even shouting, Lupita and I couldn't hear each other. Shame on the municipal government for their disregard for the health of animals and children.

The surf is picking up again and looks good for this weekend with some glassy waves in the morning over a meter high. The water temperature has warmed up a bit to 30°C. We'll have some higher tides again this weekend, but then we'll have several days with relatively low tides compared to what we've been having, meaning more beach should appear that we haven't seen for a while.

If you enjoy spectacular views and balmy breezes, you'll LOVE La Casa Roja on Cerro El Almacén with two comfortable suites. The upstairs has 2 bedrooms with a king-size and twin beds, full kitchen, private bath, and 2 terraces. The lower level also has 2 bedrooms with a king-size and twin beds, full kitchen, 2 baths, and a terrace. A peaceful place within easy walking distance of downtown and nearby restaurants. They currently have availability for November and December. (click to enlarge image)
