I married a pescador - no need to get up early to see him! Ha!

Speaking of pescador and esposas, please forgive me for the following but it is one of my favorite stories:

A hard-core fisherman would go out to the lake on Saturday morning no matter what the weather was. Nothing would stop him. One day, the weather was particularly nasty. In fact, it was downright dangerous. Fierce frigid winds, freezing rain blowing horizontally, and chunks of ice in the water to be avoided were all convincing our hero that maybe, just maybe today was not the best day to be on the water.

So he gave in. He hauled his boat out of the water and made his way home. After getting out of his weather attire, taking a shower, and climbing back into bed, he rolled over and whispered to his wife, "Dear, you just can not believe how bad the weather is today."

Groggy and without looking up, his wife sleepily responded, "And can you believe my husband is out there on the lake in that stupid boat?"

And he's quite a CATCH!

Oh... That foto - almost makes me want to wake up early! (almost)

The resplandor only lasts a few seconds. I had to hustle when I woke up and saw this out my window.

Ya' got's t' wake up early at least one day to go see the pescadores with all their fish laid out on the docks. Definitely a must see in Zihua.

Friday was a much more enjoyable day weather-wise in Zihuatanejo. Some intermittent clouds and a nice light breeze helped keep the temps down. The water temp is about perfect at 29.2°C and continues dropping ever so slowly.

Almost no matter where you look, the faces of foreigners are visible, mostly Gringos and Canadians (locals just call them all Gringos for simplicity), and even some Asians. Restaurants and bars are doing a better business, the sidewalks are a little more crowded, and the sound of English being spoken is more common.

This Friday evening in Plaza del Artista older couples get together for mostly danzón music, which usually gets a bit livelier later on with more popular Mexican dance music. Come enjoy the family atmosphere and soak in some local culture each Friday evening around sunset. This is part of the real magic of our "Puerto Mágico".
