Z Monday Morning Blues, Reds, Greens & Yellows

One thing Mexico is is colorful. Figuratively as well as literally. And here along our tropical Pacific Coast our colors seem much more vibrant than inland or up north. Cool mornings and hot days pretty much year round give Zihuatanejo a unique palette of its own, with its lush tropical greens throughout the summer and fall adding an extra depth to the landscape. All my life the colors of the tropics have mesmerized me, from the Caribbean to sub-tropical Florida to Zihuatanejo. I've never taken such beauty for granted, which motivates me to side with the struggle for its preservation against the greedy developers and unscrupulous politicians who would all too readily trade it away for their personal remuneration. My mother always taught me if you want to have nice things you have to take care of them.

This sure looks like it's worth taking care of to me. ¡Viva Zihuatanejo!
