Solar Eclipse in Zihuatanejo-Ixtapa

Sunday saw a mass exodus of tourists from Zihuatanejo-Ixtapa and other tourist destinations. The streets are mostly empty except for a few mostly local families. Most Mexicans who aren't on their way home are watching the 1st debate between the country's 3 presidential candidates this evening. It should be interesting.

The bay was extremely calm today. Looked like something from a tropical fairy tale. Be sure to check out the webcams on my Local Beaches page.

Tucked away on a quiet street in La Madera neighborhood is the lovely vacation inn, Villa Cruz del Mar. A colonial-style home converted into a small family-run vacation inn featuring 12 comfortable air-conditioned rooms, some with kitchenettes, all with cable TV, surrounding an enclosed garden courtyard with a pool. Free wireless internet access and secure parking. Located less than 100 yards from the beach.

Uups. Encontramos una palmera descabezada esta mañana en la dizque remodelada Plaza del Artista. Tanto cemento mata la tierra.
