What'll happen to the water taxis that go over to Las Gatas while the new pier is under construction?

That's a good question that our local government has so far not replied publicly on as far as I know. Like Carol says, they can use the beach, but I suspect they could also try to use the area at the entrance to the lagoon. They SHOULD have built a small temporary dock for this purpose, but...

Do you think they will finish any of the messes they have going now before they make another one??

Haha! Frankly no. They're already in campaign mode which means money from every project gets siphoned off to buy votes in the squatter communities, which is precisely why those communities exist and are allowed to remain where they are. Wait until they try to start building a cruise ship pier outside of Zihuatanejo Bay. That's when some serious fun will begin.

As my wife, Lupita, and I strolled along with our chihuahua Lola we greeted and spied many friends and neighbors along the way to and from the pier including our dear friend Joaquín who just opened his new restaurant "La Porteña" next door to one of his former restaurants "Casa Elvira". At the main plaza folks were doing the traditional dance known as danzón in the gazebo.

Even though the sky looked like it was threatening to rain, no rain came and it was just another humid and balmy evening in the tropics.

We're trying to enjoy as much as we can the last days of Zihuatanejo's pier before it gets torn down and rebuilt. Like the puppy dog said when he got his tail shut in the door, it won't be long now.

These same two guys are always playing checkers here at this hour unless it's raining.

Last days of the pier.
