ViZIHtando Guerrero Bronco

The Costa Grande of Guerrero awoke this Thursday to alarming news of violence between rival criminal gangs in Técpan de Galeana, the municipio just south of our neighbor Petatlán. Due to this and other circumstances, I strongly discourage anyone from traveling down the coast beyond Papanoa for the time being until things simmer down.

We didn't hardly see a cloud in the sky all day here in Zihuatanejo. Huracán Kristy, now a Cat 5, seems to have sucked them all away. It was another picture-postcard-perfect day in Zihuatanejo and the region. The waves have picked up a bit as another mar de fondo event affects our coast. Not too bad in the bay, but along the open coast they can be dangerous for inexperienced swimmers

Not sure what happened to the folks who were sifting the sand to clean it at Playa Principal. They seem to have given up after only a couple of days of working a small area in front of the museum.

I'm still seeing turtle tracks on the beach in the mornings, but many don't lay eggs, and most of the nests are barely above the waterline instead of high on the beach as they used to do before the paving over of much of the high part of the beach and the placement of bright lighting aimed at the beach under the previous mayor. Apparently a nest hatched overnight but the turtles were disoriented and roaming aimlessly on the beach exhausted instead of being able to find the ocean via the horizon, again disoriented from the bright lights. This keeps happening over and over. Not sure why the city ignores the problem.

Don't miss Antonio "Toño" Urbina Bello offering some of his music, poetry and books at the Casa de Cultura this Friday at 5PM. Toño is one of Zihuatanejo most talented poets, songwriters and writers. Entry is free.

El Refugio de Potosí is a center for wildlife conservation and environmental education. Among its attractions, it features a fully reconstructed sperm whale skeleton (the only one in Mexico), an observation tower, a wheelchair accessible footpath for observing local flora and fauna, and a butterfly pavilion. Located near the beach on the road to Barra de Potosí. Perfect for the entire family.
