Serenity of Z

Families are arriving from the inland towns and cities to take advantage of the long weekend in celebration of Mexico's Día de la Revolución. Monday November 16 is the day of rest even though the parade will be next Friday morning (and which will end up making TWO long weekends).

We were of course awakened by drunken revelers hooting and shouting at 5:30 in the morning through the downtown streets. I should have followed them to their lodging so we could return the favor.

Everywhere there are families arriving by car and by bus to enjoy a long weekend of fun in the sun. Their smiling faces warm the heart, and the excitement on the faces of their children as they see the beach and the ocean is pure joy.

This is what Zihuatanejo is all about!

Calle Cuauhtémoc a couple of days ago. Ready for business!
