The Oceania Insignia showed up at 7:00 AM, 3 hours earlier than expected, and they left at 5:00 PM, 2 hours earlier than previously planned. We had a few of their passengers make purchases in our boutique, and shopkeeper friends also mentioned they had some sales. Also saw some of the passengers in local restaurants, so apart from the busloads that went on tours, they spread some of their money around in Zihuatanejo. It's really all we hope for. The next cruise ship is scheduled to visit on November 8.

Monday's rain brought our temperatures down significantly, over 5°C in just the first few minutes. Tuesday never got as hot as it had been in previous days, probably thanks to the cloudy morning. It looks like we have another day or so until the next onda tropical passes by, hopefully bringing some gentle rains.

Immediately after Monday's deluge there were people swimming at Playa Principal. I wish the municipal government would take their duties more seriously and put warning notices not to swim after rains. Apparently all the garbage in the water and on the beach doesn't alarm many of our inland visitors. But it's what they can't see that can harm them.

I know I say this a lot, but every single day I feel like the luckiest Gringo in Mexico. Not just for having lived here most of my life, but also for having the love of an incredible and fascinating woman with whom I fall more in love each day.
