Zihuatanejo continues with only 7 currently active cases of Covid-19. Still looking good!

Tomorrow's a big day in Mexico because of the Gran Premio de México de la Fórmula 1 with lots of hopes riding on Mexico's popular driver "El Checo" Pérez. Be sure to watch the race at 1PM this Sunday.

A lone flamingo has been sighted on multiple occasions recently in our region since the middle of last month. They're usually not found in our region, but Lupita and I also spotted a small flock of them one time 30 or so years ago on a visit to Barra de Potosí, where the lone flamingo was last spotted. If you see it please do not harass it or try to get close. It's probably under stress.

Business is starting to pick up as more tourists arrive for longer stays, not just the weekend warriors. Lots of them are looking for rentals, so I hope they're finding this website. I'm doing what I can to reach them. Help me out if you can. ;-)

Lots of excellent vacation lodgings here:

Flamingos

In the early 1970's there were three flamingos that lived in the slough at Moss Landing, California, between Santa Cruz and Monterey. The story was that they escaped from a zoo, maybe San Francisco??? They were fairly visible regularly, and slowly, over the years there was only one left. They never successfully reproduced, and we remember seeing the single one in 1977.

Maybe the one here will get a friend and reproduce!

We love visiting Moss Landing; especially Phil’s Fish Market

When I climbed the observation tower at the nature preserve near Barra de Potosi 10 or 15 years ago, I thought I spied a flock of pink flamingos on one of the estuaries off in the distance. Too many margaritas?
