I commented 'I don't play basketball, but I'm guessing that court would be kind of disorienting unless you like to play on mushrooms.

I see on the webcam through the palms looks like the basketball court ares is painted different colors. Is this permanent or temp? Looks out of place and a bit to colorful for that area. We’re coming back down in November for 2 weeks. Been to Zihua and Ixtapa about 15 times and this time the changes in Z may be too drastic and loose that ol feeling. We’ll see.

The carnival-ish painting of the basketball court just got a first lesson in reality. Someone apparently went skateboarding on it, and now there are white lines scuffed all over the colorful paint. It would be a major deal to fix, though since no money actually comes out of any public servant's pockets when they screw things up, I'm sure they'll hustle to get it repainted before the Big Wigs do their long-awaited inauguración and photo shoot, after which the paint can be scuffed up and the plants can die and no one in city hall will care. Just like all of the 6 or so previous remodel jobs I've witnessed over the decades.
