Woke up to brilliant sunshine early this Friday as scattered clouds provided little shade. Fishermen seem to have plenty of catch to sell. Their area of Zihuatanejo's downtown beach has been busy every morning this week except Monday. Ni las gallinas ponen los lunes.

Fútbol fever continues. You'd be surprised how many folks here manage to keep up with the games. We tend to try to follow the matches of the American teams as well as to root for them. We were rooting for the USA's team who played in Los Angeles last night. Unfortunately, Turkey scored a winning goal in the last minute of the extra 7 minutes added to the clock at the end of the game after the USA lost a player to injury with no substitutions left (remember not to make THAT mistake again). Rey Felipe VI of Spain is here to watch Spain play Uruguay in Guadalajara this Friday evening. Of course we're all cheering for the American team, Uruguay. But there are no hard feelings against Spain. We're all friends and family here. That's why we call it el hermoso juego.

There's a very slight chance of rain in the wee hours tonight. Two-meter high waves are expected to arrive this Saturday, improving the conditions for surfers.

Don't miss the Eco-Tianguis "Sanka" that happens every Saturday from 8:30 a.m. until 1:40 p.m. in the small plaza in front of the Vicente Guerrero school, across the street from the Museo Arqueológico de la Costa Grande in downtown Zihuatanejo by the waterfront where La Boquita canal runs into the bay. Besides wonderful handcrafts, they feature a variety of homegrown produce, fresh foods including pastries, breads and tamales, fresh coffee, juices and mezcal.
