Zihua, 1955

I used to own that movie on DVD. I enjoyed it and when someone heard I had it loaned it and never got it back. Maybe I’ll try the YouTube link.

I remember watching it thinking what a v]completely different place Zihuatanejo, Mexico, and the world was at that time. An aunt had married a wealthy man in Calgary Alberta in 1954. For their honeymoon they drove to Mexico City, went to the pyramids at Teotihuacán, then Veracruz, and back. I cannot imagine what an adventure that would have been.

I visited Teotihuacán in the early 1980s. I would love to have seen them and Mexico City in the 1950s. I used to listen to Mexico City radio station, “El Fonógrafo” to immerse myself in that time and place. I might try that again.
