A 4.2 temblor with its epicenter near San Jeronimito in Petatlán occurred at 11:51 this Wednesday morning. I didn't feel it, but some people say they did. No damages reported.
The rain that was forecast for Wednesday turned out to be mostly just an early evening drizzle. The rest of the day was warm and partly cloudy. Not as many tourists around as there were last week to enjoy it.
Not a day goes by that I'm not thankful for the delicious local food we eat. Nejos with crema y queso for breakfast is one of our favorites. A very regional dish. And fresh fish for our comida today with a salad made from local veggies and a to-die-for cream of frijole soup prepared azteca style. Washed down with my favorite agua de jamaica. And of course I get to enjoy all this with the love of my life. Every single day is the best day of my life here. I must be the luckiest Gringo in Mexico!
Don't forget to enjoy jueves pozolero at your favorite pozolería.

And Gloria Maria seems to be vacant right now, a perfect time to visit.
Nejos con queso and crema. Can you say more? What is it, where can we get it? No clue what it is!!!

I've noticed in a lot of your recent posts that there doesn't seem to be much rain in rainy season this year.
This site shows that at the airport there was no precipitation registered for June, July and the first half of August.
https://www.wunderground.com/history/monthly/mx/zihuatanejo-de-azueta/MMZH/date/2024-8
This site shows that the average rainfall for this period is over 15 inches.
Are things that dry and if so, what about water, or for that matter electricity? I'm not exactly sure how CFE works, but there is the big hydro dam in Infernillo with power lines heading to the coast. The lakes above the dam were pretty low earlier in the year when I went to Morelia.

Our local power comes from the Petacalco power plant that burns coal. A "gift" from the NAFTA deal. But the low rainfall will indeed affect our water supply at a time when local construction of mostly condos for what are affectionately known as the condo commandos is forging ahead at full steam. Let's hope September isn't a month when every rain is a torrential deluge, because that seems to be one of the more noticeable effects of human-induced climate change. We've been fortunate in Zihuatanejo so far this year not to have any torrential deluges, but other parts of Mexico haven't been so lucky. And of course Ernesto just flooded much of Puerto Rico, leaving about half the island without power. A real bummer for them.
