Un Pueblo ReZIHliente

This Friday morning started off much like Thursday morning. Rainy. Windy. Trash all over the beaches. Hardly a soul in sight. But during the afternoon there was a long pause when the rain stopped and the sun even came out for brief moments. City workers showed up and removed all the trash from Playa Principal. Even a few tourists came out and looked around and took pictures. Some taxis and combis were running. A few shops and restaurants opened up. Plenty of roasted chicken available! Of course I took advantage of the lovely weather to sweep the water off our roof, and it immediately started to rain again and continues at this moment. No stroll along the waterfront with my sweetie tonight. Oh well.

The clouds have been scudding by all day at an amazing pace. Typical tropical storm and hurricane weather. Did you know that hurricane weather is one of the coolest times of the year? It's the first time I've worn long sleeves this year, and the cold water in the shower is actually cold. We sleep with a window only half open, the fan on low, and I even wear a t-shirt to stay warm since we don't really use blankets here.

Flights have resumed to Zihuatanejo, but we'll be cut off from Acapulco and Chilpancingo for a while. At least two bridges are collapsed (one a fairly new one, they don't make'em like they used to). There are landslides and washouts on the roads in the sierra, and folks are saying the roads are impassable there. Needless to say, no one should be swimming in the ocean at any beach for the next several days due to the pollution from all the runoff. The port remains closed to navigation.

Fortunately, it looks like the storm system is breaking up and we'll have some sunshine this Saturday and the next few days. Then next week we may be in store for another hurricane. But let's not get ahead of things. One day at a time. We appear to have dodged a proverbial bullet.

The Eco-Tianguis "Sanka" is planning on taking place as usual this Saturday from 9 to 1:30 in the plaza in front of Vicente Guerrero school across the street from the museum.

A purrfectly peaceful vacation lodging, Casa Kitty features 2 two-story structures. One is a one-bedroom house with a kitchen, and the other has a ground-floor bungalow and an upstairs cabaña that shares a kitchen with the bungalow. All located amid exuberant tropical gardens across the street from Troncones Beach within easy walking distance of the small village with its stores and restaurants.
