Cool quote. I'm gonna use that on my next date.
Parenthetically, I wonder if anyone ever wakes up considering himself the "Bad guy."

While Huracán Carlotta flutters away westward, another tropical disturbance is about to form up just to our south and move even closer to our coast than Carlotta did, and it could make for a very interesting weekend and early next week here in Zihuatanejo. High winds and intense rains are being predicted.

Sales have picked up a bit for downtown Zihuatanejo merchants. A welcome relief from the slow sales we've seen during most of the current vacation season. Unfortunately our local tourism authorities seem to think advertising in Colombia, Chile and Spain are worthwhile ways to spend their resources along with Los Angeles, where Zihuatanejo has long been advertised. The West Coast, Minnesota and Chicago all already know about Zihuatanejo. I don't know why no effort is made to promote in the Northeast, the South and the Midwest where more millionaires live than in any other part of the world. Those folks currently visit the Bahamas, Florida, various Caribbean destinations, Costa Rica and Cancún simply because getting there is easier and less costly (even millionaires watch their purses). But I know a lot of folks in the South, the Northeast and the Midwest would love to discover Zihuatanejo and be able to get here without having to change planes 3 times and take a day or two to get here. Heck, I came here from Florida, and I know a lot of Floridians would love it here, but they've never heard of Zihuatanejo except in the movie "Shawshank Redemption", and they sure as hell can't find any easy or affordable flights here, yet they can fly to Cancún from NYC for less than it costs us here to fly to Mexico City. Absurd!

It never did rain much Thursday night, though the lightning put on a wonderful show as the storms passed by just off our coast during the night. Beautiful! We continue enjoying great weather including for sleeping at night with the windows open and a fan on. The waves picked up a bit from the storm Carlotta, but in Zihuatanejo Bay beachgoers were swimming at Playa Principal without difficulty.
