Hola....pardon the interruption but I saw that yours was the most recent posting that was not about climate change.....so perhaps you can help me. I am currently in Boca Raton Fl and heading to Z Aug 1 to live. Sold off EVERYTHING except my dog Martini...an Airedale. Stumbled across this site and thought I drop in and say "hi". I am driving. Sounds like you had a relaxing day with the "wee" one. Was in Z about a month ago and decided to make the move. Have a condo rented overlooking the Z beach...not sure of all the names. Looking for any words of wisdom (except for "don't move here"!) thanks for allowing me to intrude....

Ha! Thank goodness for a fellow Floridian! Man are ever going to love it here! Get ready to downshift a few more gears.

I was just checking your all's weather and I see you're having a rather hot spell. We have about a month and a half of not quite as hot mostly dry weather coming up beginning any day now until about mid-August so hit Ron-Jon's and get some stocked up on cotton tees, jams and sandals. It's good to have some light quick-dry cotton pants for when the no-see-ums hit the beach in the early mornings and at the end of the day. Also good to have an all-weather lightweight LED flashlight for those late nights walking home since street lights aren't reliable and the power might go off during a storm. Storms don't normally get serious until September, though with the weird weather these past few years and La Niña there ain't no reason with the hurricane season, as you doubtless know.

Don't hesitate to to let me know if there's anything specific I can help you with.

My First Timer Sheet might be helpful. Let me know if you'd like me to send it to you.

The increasingly frequent groundswells we know as mar de fondo have again damaged our recently repaired pier, causing huge cracks where one of the landing platforms attaches to the main pier. It was just a matter of time, but I think everyone here including me is more than a little concerned and surprised by the frequency of the groundswells during recent years. A phenomena that used to only occur a couple or three times a year for as far back as anyone can recall. They have been fairly constant for about the past couple of years, eroding shorelines and damaging waterfront structures. Acapulco has been under a red flag for most of the year. We've had our port closed too many times already this year and the hurricanes have only just begun forming. This year could be one of the wilder rides.

But the past couple of days have been sheer ecstasy here. Our weather has been simply perfect and Zihuatanejo Bay appears perfectly swimmable. No groundswells since about a week ago.

The day before yesterday we awoke to a nice refreshing rain during the morning for the third time during the past week. It was a perfect Sunday morning for watching Formula 1 racing on TV. The late afternoon was also perfect for a stroll along the beach with my sweetie down to the pier. A typical magical experience even for those who were born here.

Yesterday evening we decided to hang out at Tata's restaurant on the beach and enjoy some delicious limonadas and cold Victorias while our wee one played in the sand and made friends with a cute little bilingual güerita his own age. Once again the magical scenery of Zihuatanejo Bay didn't disappoint. Are we lucky or what?
