Zihuatanejenses and visitors were treated to another absolutely idyllic day in our humble paradise. Relatively cool overnight temperatures made for great sleeping and a refreshing morning. The fishermen brought in a bountiful catch. Silly me, I forgot to take photos of a friend of mine, Ezekiel, who caught a huge red pargo. Unfortunately even with the wonderful catch, there were few buyers, but at least the fishermen and their families eat well.

There's a storm called Tropical Depression 12-E about to impact with the coast of Chiapas and Oaxaca. It had been expected to form a hurricane, but it doesn't look like it'll make it. It'll probably affect Acapulco, too, and they really don't need any more rain. But it looks like we may get a break from the previously predicted double whammy, and whatever forms up in front of us will remain far enough away to only send us a few intermittent rain clouds, but not another 4 days of solid rain like John. We'll probably get some rain this Wednesday night or the wee hours of Thursday from a storm currently drenching Acapulco and moving our way up the coast.

Still hardly any visitors around. Whenever they show up along the beach they get swamped with people trying to sell them stuff. Waiters and tour guides and wandering vendors all hovering around them like birds of prey.

Watch out for mosquitos! Dengue is ticking up.

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.
