We seem to have been spared from the direct hit that had been forecast for a tropical storm or hurricane slamming into our part of the coast Thursday night and Friday morning. The latest forecast shows the system possibly forming into a hurricane, but continuing up the coast and away from us. We'll likely get some heavy rains, but the wind gusts should only be around 30 km/h at the most. Anything is better than a direct hit. Keeping fingers crossed this forecast holds.

The Danzón dancers had to cancel their Wednesday night get-together in Plaza del Artista owing to the downpour we had that lasted a couple of hours or so this Wednesday evening. When the rain finally stopped, Lupita and I were the first people to be out strolling along the waterfront. We only saw a dozen or so people on our sojourn to the pier and back including a few friends. "The air smelled sweet and strange. Seemed about a hundred years ago."

The rain brought down the temperature nicely, assuring a refreshing night for sleeping. This is the weather the sea turtles like for nesting, so if you're on or near the beach tonight or on a similar night keep an eye out for them.

Enjoy your pozole this Thursday! Most pozolerías are still open at this time of year including our favorite, El Profe in Coacoyul. Well worth the drive or cab fare.

For traditional lodging with a distinct flavor of old Zihuatanejo, I highly recommend Bungalows Pacíficos. Comfortable and with a wonderful view, this small iconic Zihuatanejo bayfront vacation lodging is located in La Madera and features 6 suites and a small house, all with one bedroom with a king-size bed, air conditioning, kitchen, and terrace. The suites also have two single beds, and the small house has a twin-size bed for family or friends. They have direct access to the waterfront and are within easy walking distance of many excellent restaurants as well as downtown.
