Zihuatanejo awoke on Saturday morning to a brief light drizzle, and then the sun kept trying to come out, peeking through the clouds, drying things out and warming us back up. Felt good. Saturday turned into quite a lovely day. John is gone and we got sunshine on a cloudy day.

Amazingly tourists started showing up this morning, seemingly out of nowhere they started appearing at the beach, some taking pictures, others looking through the debris still on the beach before Servicios Públicos got the beach cleaned up. While Isla Ixtapa remained closed, Playa Las Gatas opened up and received tourists. A couple of the beachfront restaurants on Playa Principal also filled up with visitors. It's good to see people after so many days of being hunkered down indoors.

Still no way to get to Acapulco, but it appears people are getting through from the Autopista Siglo XXI, so we're not cut off from the rest of the world.

Plenty of trees down and even a few rockslides in Zihuatanejo, but our community came out quite well. Certainly better than many of our neighbors up and down the coast. Thank our lucky stars. But according to several forecasts, it looks like we may get to repeat the process in the coming week. ¡Híjole! I sure hope not.

Tropical storms and hurricanes cool down our ocean and our local weather. The only real damage they cause is to human structures. The past few nights have been quite cool and refreshing for sleeping, especially last night since we no longer had to worry about a hurricane bearing down on us. Didn't even notice the 2 earthquakes we had last night.

Needless to say, the surf is up along the Costa Grande. A great time to be staying at Troncones.

De repente aparecieron turistas en las playas de Zihuatanejo al dejar de llover y salir un poco el sol.
