Turtles, whales and Carnaval

We were at playa Manzanillo yesterday. Saw a turtle sleeping half under some rocks/coral, saw tons of baby fish, heard whales singing (although we did not see any). There were three other boats there enjoying the water. And, when we came back into the bay, we could feel the vibration of the music from la cancha. The good and the annoying. Love living in Zihuatanejo!

Me, too. Playa Manzanillo is awesome and magical and hopefully will be preserved for future generations. When I first visited what struck me most was its pristiness and that it had miraculously remained unchanged and unharmed by man. But then I was also there a couple of decades later when I unfortunately watched a visiting tourist family allow their child to destroy part of the unique rock and coral formations along the water’s edge until I couldn’t remain silent and had to ask them to stop. So cool that you saw a sea turtle sleeping there. Sounds like you had an exhilarating day.
