Milder weather has made sleeping a joy and more relaxing, which makes waking up here on the Costa Grande of Guerrero even more pleasurable. There wasn't much sun this morning or most of the day, but our visitors didn't seem to mind. The beaches seemed twice as crowded as the previous day, and folks seemed to be enjoying themselves just fine even if they weren't frying as much under the tropical sun. Zihuatanejo's natural beauty remains our main attraction.

It remains cloudy along our part of the Costa Grande, and according to the forecast there could be scattered rains in the region. Keeping fingers crossed.

In case you missed it, Deborah's Restaurant is offering a wonderful Cena de Nochebuena with all the fixings for $700. See the menu on her website. There's still time to make reservations. Hope to see you there!

Remember, Navidad here in Zihuatanejo isn't like Christmas in the USA. While mass marketing has certainly reached here and contaminated the culture, kids here didn't grow up making a big deal about Santa Claus and presents. Santa Claus just isn't a thing here. The presents don't arrive until Día de los Reyes Magos. On Christmas the focus is Jesus' birthday. Families get together and celebrate with a big dinner on Nochebuena. Then the following day they either go to Christmas mass or relax with the family.

For an unforgettable experience, I recommend a diving trip with my dear friend Thierry from Carlo Scuba based at Playa Las Gatas. Thierry is a 3rd generation local diver, and no one knows our local waters better than he does. He offers exciting guided tours of the best dive spots around as well as instruction and certification. Fully PADI qualified.

El sol sale detrás de unas nubes durante el amanecer en Zihuatanejo. Un trabajador rastrilla la playa junto al la palapa del restaurante Daniel's mientras una pareja con su niño disfruta de la vista.
