<title>Seeing Zih Colors</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Looks like the rains have ended and we'll have to wait until next June or so for any more. Bummer. The rainy season in the tropics, even with all its inherent dangers, has always been my favorite time of year. A time when everything feels more alive and certainly washed cleaner. A time of more brilliant and vibrant colors, of contrasting weather, and of life flowing back into the planet. But now we get to watch the slow agonizing death of the vegetation and the slow accumulation of dust and other substances dulling the colors and bringing new sensations to the senses, culminating in the hot humid and windless smokiness just before the next rainy season.</p>
<p>This family was overjoyed to find the glasses that <em>mamá</em> and <em>abuela</em> needed. They came from the outskirts of town to <strong><a href="http://www.zihuatanejo.net/lupitas/">Lupita's Boutique</a></strong> where Lupita patiently helped them sort through what she has available until finding what worked. Lupita would like to ask that people please try to only bring glasses with known strengths or gradations written on the temples (the folding parts). The &quot;cheater&quot; reading glasses that are bought in stores without a prescription. The tourist season is returning and the unmarked glasses of unknown gradations often take an hour or so to sort through as people try on one after another until they find a pair that works, consuming a lot of time. Lupita isn't trying to be or to replace an optometrist or optician. Only to help folks who have &quot;tired vision&quot; from aging who would like to be able to see better mostly in order to read. <br />

<p>Hopefully members of <em>La Marina</em> got the eggs from this turtle nest instead of poachers.<br />
