The current mar de fondo apparently didn't keep all the fishermen from working. The beachfront market was a-bustling this morning and there was plenty of yummy-looking fish being bought up rather quickly in anticipation of a busy day owing to it being Día de los Maestros, which even though it isn't an officially sanctioned holiday schools will be closed because too many teachers traditionally simply don't show up to work on this day (even though I always did). Beaches will be full of hungry teachers by the time of la comida, and seafood is by far the favorite local dish.

Smoke from all the fires has made the sunrises and sunsets quite red lately.

In the top picture, what is the name of the dark fish by the large huachinango to the right?

They look like barrilete to me. They have a dark red meat and we often use them for tiritas.

Wow am I missing Zihua. Thanks for all the pics, but they're killing me.
Thanks. Not heard of that fish but tiritas sound good.
