LIGHTNING BUGS!!!!!! For Southern California beach people, they are so interesting and unusual! Only seen them two places besides here and they were both in Southern Mexico.

Watch for them and the big fruit bats!!!!!!!

We continue enjoying absolutely beautiful weather. We got a nice rain Wednesday evening that trashed the beach, but cooled down the temps and washed everything else clean. A stark contrast to what last night's rains did in my former home of Florida where the damage from Milton is extensive.

Most shop owners simply closed up early and went home today. No tourism around. No one buying anything. Some restaurants along the downtown waterfront had plenty of locals enjoying themselves, but very few out-of-towners. But the fruit bats were certainly entertaining folks next to Daniel's Restaurant (currently closed) where they were swooping around eating the figs from the amate trees. Absolutely amazing creatures!

It's amazing how peaceful Zihuatanejo is without so many visitors. Not as much blaring music as normal, though still plenty of laughter, a familiar local sound the rest of the world could use more of.

Friday evening the Danzón dancers will be in Plaza del Artista around sunset time. Come enjoy some mellow tunes and enjoy this old Zihuatanejo tradition. You're welcome to participate and to learn the moves. The dancers are very friendly people and will be happy to teach you and have you participate with them.

Tucked away amid the palm trees of La Ropa in Zihuatanejo within easy walking distance of the beach is Arecas Suites. A small affordable and comfortable hotel located in "the grove" near the beach. Features 8 air-conditioned suites with kitchenettes, a pool and plenty of tranquility.
