Arrancan Las Vacaciones en Zih

Most schools start their vacation period today, and by the end of this weekend Zihuatanejo-Ixtapa should start filling up with families of vacationers from the inland towns and cities. The next 3 weeks should be interesting, to say the least. Hope everyone got caught up on their beauty sleep these past 2 weeks, because it's about to get noisy and crowded, if past years are any indication.

Fishermen in front of the Plaza El Pescador get ready to launch their fishing pangas.

A new entrance to the mini-pier is being built around the obelisk and through part of the Capitanía's parking area. Kind of a shame because personally I love the walkway under the guamuchil trees and past the mangroves. Maybe they'll finally repaint it and fix the broken posts and missing ropes like was promised months ago.
