Zihuatanejo awoke to cloudy skies this Monday that hung around until around midday or so. Kept the temperatures down, but it didn't keep visitors from the beaches.

Yesterday morning I saw an older gentleman push his rather large and elderly wife in a wheelchair to the water's edge where the waves barely reached her feet. Somehow he managed to get her out of the chair and sit her down in the sand right at the water's edge where she could enjoy the water. It's a scene I've seen before many times in my life, but it always gets to me. Probably because when I was a young teen in St. Croix USVI I had a quadriplegic girlfriend, and I would carry her down the beach to her favorite spot at Coakley Bay where we would go swimming together.

One week from this Monday children across Mexico will be back in class. We can expect a big drop in local tourism until the long weekend for Día de la Independencia on September 16. Tourism already seems to be dropping off. There aren't nearly as many people here as there were 2 weeks ago.

Tucked away between delicious beachfront restaurants and the village of Barra de Potosí is Hacienda La Rusa. A fabulous affordable lodging in a Mexican colonial-style bed & breakfast home with 2 swimming pools. Rent individual suites or rent the entire hacienda.
