(mystery, history, fiction or non) (reply) If you can get your hands on a copy (last printing I know of was 2006) of ]Zihuatanejo Ixtapa: a guide to Casas Camas Comidas and Cosas. Even though it has a lot of visitor information, the first section has a lot of recollections by some of the ex-pats who came in the 70s, when things were wilder and woolier.

(mystery, history, fiction or non) (reply) Books on Zihuatanejo? Yes, I can very heartily recommend "ZIHUATANEJO, a true story of exile, love, war, and murder south of the border" as a book that will warm your soul, get your heart pumping, and make you laugh, cry, and maybe even tremble a bit. After all, it's a number-one bestseller on amazon! Taking place in Zihuatanejo during 1994-1998, it's a true story full of the adventures of a gringo moving to Mexico, learning Spanish, getting involved in the Guatemalan War, and a local murder episode, falling into love and out of love with a beautiful Mexican woman and so much more! P.S. Thanks, Padrino!

(mystery, history, fiction or non) (reply) Thank you Sunlight and Padrino all 3 look very interesting so I am buying all of them. Hopefully this will last me into 21'. The previews all look great, you are all very kind. ;-)
FYI things I miss:
The salsa @ Rosey's
Baby turtles being released
Limes seem to taste better (with all things)
LaRopa beach morning runs
Walking to town, meeting old friends & making new ones
The food, all of it
The feeling I get walking off the plane @ ZIH and having the heat hit your body, the smells hit your mind and your back

Jim

Hi everyone, while we wait for our next chance to visit the Catalina, I wanted to ask the group on any recommendations of books written about or located in ZIH, ether fiction or non fiction, mystery, history, (not travel books ;-)
There is so much history of the area that I have learned from locals 1:1 and employees in the past. Appreciate your thought and insight.
Just need the escape via a good book on one of my favorite places..
Cheers
