Basketball court
I see on the webcam through the palms looks like the basketball court ares is painted different colors. Is this permanent or temp? Looks out of place and a bit to colorful for that area. We’re coming back down in November for 2 weeks. Been to Zihua and Ixtapa about 15 times and this time the changes in Z may be too drastic and loose that ol feeling. We’ll see.

The carnival-ish painting of the basketball court just got a first lesson in reality. Someone apparently went skateboarding on it, and now there are white lines scuffed all over the colorful paint. It would be a major deal to fix, though since no money actually comes out of any public servant's pockets when they screw things up, I'm sure they'll hustle to get it repainted before the Big Wigs do their long-awaited inauguración and photo shoot, after which the paint can be scuffed up and the plants can die and no one in city hall will care. Just like all of the 6 or so previous remodel jobs I've witnessed over the decades.

Surely the Presidente Municipal must have a brother-in-law in the paint business.

Serious. Wife and I were downtown last week for our first first hand look at the new remodel. It's really nice...if you have no idea what was there before.
I commented 'I don't play basketball, but I'm guessing that court would be kind of disorienting unless you like to play on mushrooms.

I remember when I would watch my 3 young boys play basketball on that court during pick up games. It was about 25 years ago and the oldest boy was about 13 and and the youngest about 6. They all ended up playing high end basketball, two at University level. One of the things they still remember about the court was the very friendly spectators, incredibly loud music (over the Christmas holidays) and the speakers being on one side of the court (beach side), but the power being on the other side of the court so the speaker cables ran across the court. One had to be extra careful running past the center line! Viva la Mexico. None of us really remember or care what the color of the court was. Just an observation.
