<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We were sitting and reading on our shady 3rd floor terrace, looked at each other and said, &quot;Yup, that was an earthquake.  Wonder how big?&quot;</p>
<p>Checked the UNAM website and eventually it showed.</p>

<p>Saturday morning was quite comfortable under a bright and sunny sky. The sun is noticeably moving towards the south on the horizon as the end of summer nears, and it will soon be shining into southern-facing windows instead of northern-facing ones. We had some sprinkles late this afternoon, and rain is currently falling, though probably not for long, according to the satellite map.</p>
<p><a rel="thumbnail" href="https://tinyurl.com/2yxuuwrj"><img src="https://tinyurl.com/2yxuuwrj" class="thumbnail left" alt="[image]" /></a>Did anyone feel the temblor around noon this Saturday? A 4.2 just off our coast. It was a rather quick jolt. Though I shouted <em><strong>¡TEMBLOR!</strong></em> and ran outside, apparently no one else in our home felt it. If you felt it, what was your reaction?</p>
<p>The current <em>mar de fondo</em> along with some extreme high tides has caused some of our beaches to be quite narrow, if even usable. Waves were crashing over parts of the walkway at Playa La Madera yesterday and today. </p>
<p>According to a local <em>chismoso</em> &quot;news&quot; source, we may soon be getting an UBER-like taxi service in Zihuatanejo called <strong><a href="https://www.tuprontomx.com/">PRONTO</a></strong>. It's probably just <em>chisme</em>, but it's certainly a service that would go over well here, especially with the recent taxi rate hikes. However, I have no doubt that local taxi unions, especially UTAAZ since they have a history of it, would resort to violence to try to stop any encroachment on &quot;their turf&quot; by any app-based taxi services. It's long been a popular discussion among locals.</p>
<p><img src="images/smilies/soccer-ball_26bd.png" alt=":futbol:" title="soccer ball" /><img src="images/smilies/trophy_1f3c6.png" alt=":trophy:" title="trophy" />  This Sunday evening at 8:15 PM local time, Toluca and Monterrey face off in the <strong><a href="https://www.concacaf.com/competitions/leagues-cup/news/toluca-and-monterrey-face-off-in-leagues-cup-2026-final">Concacaf League's Cup Final</a></strong>. The first time two Mexican teams have dominated the series, if I'm not mistaken. So expect locals to be tuned in and hopefully lots of joyful shouts of <em><strong>¡GOOOOOOL!</strong></em></p>
<p><a rel="thumbnail" href="https://www.zihuatanejo.net/images/casadelfinsonriente2.jpg"><img src="https://www.zihuatanejo.net/images/casadelfinsonriente2.jpg" class="thumbnail right" alt="[image]" /></a>For a peaceful and stress-free vacation getaway take a look at <strong><a href="http://www.casadelfinsonriente.com/">Casa Delfín Sonriente</a></strong>. A spacious and verdant 6-bedroom private beachfront villa with a pool on Playa Troncones that can be rented in its entirety or as individual suites and bungalows by the day or by the week. There's an outdoor BBQ area and areas for various outdoor activities. Any closer to paradise would be hard to get. <span style="font-size:smaller;">(click to enlarge image)</span><br />
