We were there last month when they were just starting to pour the wall. They all worked so hard. It's nice to see the finished project, it looks great!! Thanks for the pictures Rob.

Great job saving the trees. See you in three weeks for our 13th year. Two weeks in paradise!

Beautiful picture of the repaired wall of the La Boquita. Looks like they even took the time to trim some broken and damage branches of the trees.

What a privilege to live within easy walking distance from the Paseo del Pescador and the Playa Principal. Practically right out our front door. We are afforded one of the local joys that many people who live here rarely experience. I actually felt sorry yesterday for a gentleman calling in to a local radio talk show who, though he said he was from here, didn't know where Casa Marina or the kiosko (the gazebo at the main plaza) was, something every resident certainly used to know not long ago. But with all the land invasions and the problems with public security we now have thousands of people who only see this part of town from a distance but who rarely ever walk in this part of town. Something unimaginable here 25 years ago.

My wife and I see the waterfront and the old downtown area as the heart and soul of Zihuatanejo.

We were certainly thrilled last year when our friend Homero Rodríguez (who was acting mayor while the elected mayor was in campaign) fixed the large hole in the wall of Canal "La Boquita", and we are just as thrilled to see that our current mayor Jorge Sánchez went the extra kilómetro to fix the deteriorated mouth of the canal, saving two large guamúchil trees and two coconut palms. City workers practically worked an engineering miracle fighting against the ocean to pour the foundation for the wall.

¡Bravo!

¡Buenos días, Zihuatanejo!
