The evenings have gotten so cool for sleeping that it's like having the A/C on. The change in evening temperatures is much appreciated. The water temperature remains extremely comfortable in the 28°C range. Absolutely perfect, same as the weather. Days continue sunny and warm, but not too hot. Visitors are certainly getting their money's worth.

Each morning droves of people continue arriving hauling suitcases and coolers to await water taxis to Las Gatas and Isla Ixtapa, and every evening when they return the Paseo de los Pescadores is almost impassable. Wall-to-wall people. The restaurants Valeria's, Casa Arcadia, Bay Club, Daniel's and La Porteña were all full with customers when we walked by this evening. Folk dancers were also wandering and performing, working for tips. Everyone is in a festive mood, and people are celebrating wherever they can. Even the beach was still packed after sunset. I haven't seen or heard of any bad incidents apart from a young man drowning at Playa Linda on Thursday afternoon and a failed attempt to steal a car on Calle Mar Caspio in Zihuatanejo.

The folks from Servicios Públicos are working as hard as they can to keep the place clean and to empty the garbage bins frequently. No one in Zihuatanejo's ayuntamiento works harder than they do. This is a good time of year to tip them and tell them gracias.

The hotels are about as full as they get, and more visitors are on their way. Local merchants enjoyed decent sales today, but Gringos continue to be the biggest spenders and the best customers with the Canadians running a close second, depending on whom you ask.

On the hillside between Playa La Ropa and Playa Las Gatas, Casa Westie offers a relaxing stress-free comfort zone for your vacation. A two-bedroom top-floor apartment with a large open-air living-area terrace with stunning views surrounded by lush tropical vegetation. Located in the Cerro del Vigía gated community with 24-hour security.
