We enjoyed a beautiful Monday night, though a bit warmer than previous nights. Tuesday morning was bright and sunny. Lupita and I decided to go to Carmelo's at the mercado municipal for breakfast to take home. She got picaditas and I got a huge torta de jamón. We also got some delicious jugo verde to wash it all down with. They always make everything to perfection! And it's always a pleasure to go there. They're good people.

The downtown beach remained mostly empty today. Hardly a visitor around, though the municipal government's tourism office says Canadians are already arriving. We saw a few extranjeros on our evening walk, but not many. Mostly just our neighbors and other locals.

Locals are anxious for a good tourist season after the poor ones we've had recently. I'm still not seeing any advertising for Zihuatanejo-Ixtapa, so it's up to people like you to spread the word, and we definitely need your help. Tell your family and friends. Share my website with them.

It almost rained this evening. The sky darkened and clouds covered the top of Cerro Viejo. There was thunder and lightning in the hills. Even felt a few tiny drops while we were out walking, but then nothing happened downtown. And I was surprised to read today that Coahuayutla not far from us in the sierra is at risk of losing their corn crops because of a drought. But we may get something from the next storm that seems to be behaving similarly to Trudy, but so far it looks like it's staying farther away from our coast. The long-range forecast shows it hooking back towards the mainland, but well to our north. Worth keeping an eye on, but nothing to be alarmed about. We'll be fortunate if we get any rain from it, though we're certain to get some more big waves.

You'll find quality Mexican hats for sun protection in many styles, comfortable beachwear, light tropical shirts for men and women, handcrafts, and hand-made jewelry at the lovely Boutique Sunset.
