This Tuesday, April 30, is Día del Niño in Mexico. A very important and widely celebrated day. Expect lots of parties and events including downtown and at the beaches.

And Wednesday is Día del Trabajador where there will be a parade downtown at 9:30 a.m. It's an official holiday so banks will be closed.

And Friday is the first day of the Torneo de Pez Vela, a mostly kill tournament that I would promote if they practiced strictly Catch & Release.

And of course Saturday is Kentucky Derby Day. Good luck finding a real mint julep.

The warming continues. This Monday was a bit hotter than the previous day, not as much breeze, and the humidity seems a bit higher. The water temp keeps flirting with 27°C, which is about the threshold that locals consider comfortable. Now is the best time of the year for swimming.

[image]For traditional lodging with a distinct flavor of old Zihuatanejo, I highly recommend Bungalows Pacíficos. Comfortable and with a wonderful view, this small iconic Zihuatanejo bayfront vacation lodging is located in La Madera and features 6 suites and a small house, all with one bedroom with a king-size bed, air conditioning, kitchen, and terrace. The suites also have two single beds, and the small house has a twin-size bed for family or friends. They have direct access to the waterfront and are within easy walking distance of many excellent restaurants as well as downtown.

Good luck finding the derby. Last year we tried at Bandido’s but they couldn’t find it.
And Saturday night is boxeo: Saul Alvarez v fellow Mexicano Jaime Munguía.
As for a Julep I just drink bourbon margaritas; too much azúcar in juleps.

Giddy up and hit him!

Get your NEO android box at SIDITEL with ALL the channels in Spanish & English, all the movies and TV programs on-demand, all the sports you could ever want to watch. It's a good deal. Tell'em Roberto te envió. ;-)

SIDITEL provides excellent customer service and the NEO is a great product. I have been a customer of SIDITEL for years and never had a negative experience with them.

Thank you. I do not watch television except for boxeo and the Triple Crown which I prefer to watch in a crowded bar.

Does this system allow you to record programs?

I've never tried to record anything, but I believe you would need a separate device, though the android box does come with several tools I've never used and a few GB of memory for storage as well a slot for memory cards. If you want to be able to record, tell the folks at SIDITEL and see if they can help you with setting it up.

Heads Up - Parade

by ZihuaRob ⌂ @, Zihuatanejo, México, Tuesday, April 30, 2024, 11:39 (922 days ago) @ ZihuaRob

The parade for Día del Trabajador is scheduled for 8:00. I had it listed for 9:30 based on last year's timing, which I suspect may repeat itself, but the municipal gov't just released the parade route (same as always: Cinco de Mayo --> Juan N. Álvarez --> La Boquita) and time, so I'm just putting this out there. It's getting hot early, so the earlier they start the better for everyone.
