Good for you, I'm envious of your making the decision to spend 3 months in Zihua! Maybe some fine day we'll do likewise.
In what part of town is your apartment located? Colonia La Madera?
Nice blog -please keep posting.
And, btw, you can post links to your latest updates right here, too.

NICE! Love the doggie bag!
Regarding your photos: FYI, (I'm sure you know) the tree where the iguana is is called bamboo. The garza and the cacique are both sitting in a guamúchil tree. You can eat the popcorn-looking fruit from the guamuchil. It is a very popular natural candy here.
My wife and I used to live right next door, albeit 20 years ago. You're in a great neighborhood, but that damn church clock "bell" at Plaza Kioto going off all night long used to make me think evil thoughts. I hope it's broken now.
Mónica, Anibal and Juan are a wonderful family. You all are in great hands!

Thanks for the info about the trees! We are such newbies I need all the education you can provide. No church bells yet but I am getting used to Mr. 4:30. AM Rooster

They seem to play the church bell recording mostly on Sundays. Yes, it is a recording and not actual bells, which makes it even worse. Fortunately, it is frequently broken. Otherwise a great neighborhood to live in, and many wonderful neighbors.

Yes, I know it's always been a recording. When we lived on Calle Adelita I used to find myself wishing I had a bazooka or a grenade launcher to take out their speaker because it would ring every night all night long EVERY 15 GODDAMN minutes.

Nice blog. I hope you enjoy blogging as much as I do -- a great way to be more mindful of all the wonders that surround one every day, and especially in Zihua.

My Zihua blog has been updated! Whew! I need to remember to update at least every two or three days or the writing and posting becomes a three day project. Here is the link.

I enjoyed reading your blog, happy that all went well traveling with your dog. Rossy's is our favourite spot to spend the day on La Ropa, casual, friendly service, great beach and our daughter loved the fries when she was a little girl. Glad they welcomed your pup,

thanks Sunshine. She's slowly finding her inner Mexican street dog and has actually sniffed a butt or two. Rossy's will definitely be our go to place. Lots of family coming this week so we will be taking up a few spots there.

Thanks so much! Maybe our paths will cross. If you see a fluffy couple with a little black and white dog, that would be us.

Wonderful foto essay, felt like I was along for the trip. I really loved the shot of the red pickup filled with melons, papayas, tomatoes, etc -and the scale hanging from the rack.

In reference to your blog entry about animals. Geckos do none of the things you are experiencing. You have a mouse, or a rat that is coming in at night eating things. I doubt that you would, but do not eat anything that has been touched by it. They frequently urinate while browsing...

thanks for that info! One of the things that made us scratch our heads was that we hung our bananas from a hook and something still took a chunk out of it. A bat perhaps?

Yes possibly, there are fruit eating bats here. The bread is classic rodent though. No droppings left behind? They usually poop a lot.

Nope no droppings that I noticed but we are just way more vigilant about putting everything away out of temptation. We are very open to the elements here so this is their playground when we are asleep. No issues the past few days. Take that you little buggers!

Z Papaya Chronicles: Big Bang Theory and Working Away in Zihua
Z Papaya Chronicles - Life is a Beach in Barra de Potosi
by Ballarose , Ontario, Canada, Thursday, February 12, 2015, 13:50 (4288 days ago) @ Ballarose
Buenes Tardes! My blog, Travelling Granny Pants, has been updated. We recently spent three nights in Barra de Potosi. Had to get away from it all...well not really because we are living "the getting away from it all" life quite nicely here in Zihua. However, we love Barra de Potosi and wanted to spend some serious time hanging out there. Stayed at Hacienda La Rusa, right in the thick of things and it was wonderful. Read on!
