¡Gracias a ServiZIHos Públicos!
Once again, the hardest working people in the municipal government, Servicios Públicos, cleaned the garbage off the downtown beach this morning that the heavy rain washed down the canal from the hillsides and neighborhoods where unfortunately people are historically irresponsible with their garbage. It was, as always, a gargantuan effort. And, as always, they were up to the task. It's regretful they must be called out to clean up all the mostly plastic bottles that people carelessly toss away where they don't belong. I'm old enough to remember when the USA still had quite a similar problem, but ad campaigns and heavy fines changed the behavior of a lot of people. There's no reason that a similar approach can't be used here, but first the municipal government has to simply have the will to get it done, something that currently doesn't exist. I believe I speak for many downtown residents when I express my sincere gratitude to the extremely hardworking people of Servicios Públicos.
And what a delicious rain we had Monday night! Lightning was striking all around Zihuatanejo Bay but not in it. Once again we were sheltered from the worst of the storm by our hillsides that are slowly losing their beautiful green covering to what passes for development, though I consider it destruction. The rain brought the temperature down and made for great sleeping weather. I can currently see a large thunderstorm in the low sierra of Zihuatanejo, making for a wonderful light show, though it's doubtful any of its rain will reach us.
Tuesday we again saw beaches full of visitors, but not a lot of sales. Fortunately, the restaurants and fishing charters are doing a good business, but for all the remodeling downtown, there still just aren't many tourists making purchases other than at Oxxo. We need to do better attracting the kind of tourists we need, not just hordes of warm bodies to drive up the visitor count and provide cifras alegres for politicians to boast with.
Location is everything, and located front and center on El Palmar Beach in Ixtapa with all the amenities of a resort hotel you'll find Tesoro Ixtapa Condos. 1- and 2BR furnished vacation rental condos with use of pool, restaurants and beach services. One on the 2nd floor, the other on the 6th. Spectacular views!
