After being rudely awakened by fireworks around 11:30 pm or so we slept like babies the rest of the night here in downtown Zihuatanejo, and this morning after checking our tinacos my wife, our chihuahua and I took a nice stroll along the beachfront greeting many of our friends, neighbors and acquaintances along the way. No one seemed to know why there were fireworks last night, but everyone agreed they were too late and uncalled for especially after passing practically an entire month listening to explosions every night. Madness!

Nevertheless, the explosion of colors at dawn was certainly a welcome sight this morning. Reason enough to celebrate the new day and a lovely sight to wake up to.

Just beautiful. What time of the morning was this taken? I really should walk into Centro to see the sunrises.

Though it's a welcome sunny day here in MN, your gorgeous image brings joy to my day...and a delicious sense of expectation for our month in Zihua, now just 8 weeks away.

We were told that the city did the fireworks for New Years and then last night to close the holiday.

Well that's certainly odd because (a) they've never done so before, and (b) the holiday doesn't end until January 6 (kids are supposed to return to school on Jan. 7).

I suspect that they had too many fireworks thanks to the good-for-nothing State Secretary of Tourism Ernesto Rodriguez Escalona who "donated" them because (a) he's an idiot, and (b) using the money for a cultural event such as a philharmonic orchestra or a cultural dance troupe performance or a theater performance would never occur to an uncouth dinosaur politician of questionable morals such as him. Locally we greatly disliked him when he held the same position under a previous governor. The feeling continues with his reappointment to the same post he failed at before.
