It was so easy I can't remember what I did
Just a little waiting due to the small area compared to old boarding procedure

Also, keep in mind.....who know what will be happening in Jan. Someone there will direct you when you buy your ticket where to catch the panga.

Surely hope the new administration is of a different ilk!
Makes me very sad to read of so much corruption & mismanagement!

Our first week with a new municipal administration and slowly but surely they seem to be settling in and trying to sort out and deal with the incredible mess they inherited. But the biggest change seem to be with locals. Many of our friends and neighbors are more determined than ever to let their voices be heard and to get past the historical apathy that has dogged local citizens for decades. I want to thank our friends and neighbors who are stepping up the plate and making a difference and getting things done. It appears there are lots of folks willing to work towards helping our fair town to recover its health. ¡Ustedes nos dan mucho orgullo!

We all certainly have our work cut out for us. One thing the municipal government needs to crack down on is the vagabundos sleeping in the public spaces and on the beach. Some of the ones sleeping on the beach seem to be the same folks who are stealing the turtle eggs from their nests. Others are just alkies. We even watched a cop walk over to a guy asleep on a bench in the Plaza Municipal, have a little discussion with him, then walk away leaving the guy sleeping on the bench. Oops!

This guy had his hammock all nicely arranged, his laundry all hanging out to dry, enjoying the Life Of Riley at his free sleeping chambers at the Playa Principal. Be thankful photos currently aren't capable of conveying smells, because there was nothing pleasant about the one here.

ATENCIÓN GOBIERNO

Here is a where a sea turtle laid her eggs overnight but probably had them robbed by the guy with the hammock.

The pier is closed and under guard. Last week's earthquake and recent storms have caused such further deterioration that my friend José Ángel Lara aka "El Ángel del Mar" who is in charge again of the office of Protección Civil agreed with the Capitán del Puerto to close it permanently. Better safe than sorry.

Nevertheless, I still managed to catch a decent shot of dawn breaking over Zihuatanejo Bay just before the sun peeked over the hills.
