Zihuatanejo 1967

I have a friend who built his house near the Hospital General (across Avenida Morelos from city hall) in the early 1970s. When they were excavating for the foundation, they kept finding empty beer bottles and soft drink bottles.

The site had been at the end of the airstrip. A common entertainment was to sit at the end of the runway to see the occasional plane land or take off. Of course, that was daytime entertainment because the planes couldn’t land or take off at night.
