Another absolutely beautiful sunny day with a gentle breeze. Since it hasn't rained for days, the ocean looks clean and inviting despite the waves from the mar de fondo event. Very few visitors were here to take advantage of it, but I keep seeing and hearing more north-of-the-border visitors around. It must be cold somewhere. ;-)

Daniel's Restaurant is reopening this Wednesday. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Come enjoy a delicious meal and refreshments on the beach next to the Cancha Municipal in downtown Zihuatanejo.

I regret to report that an elderly foreigner who resides here had his vehicle stolen this afternoon in broad daylight on a downtown street by armed gunmen who also pistol-whipped him. A damn shame and extremely disappointing that our new mayor appears to be concentrating only on appearances and pouring more of her husband's cement instead of doing ANYTHING to improve public security, but it was to be expected. This is why I keep warning people about robberies at this time of year here, though of course they can happen at any time, especially when the mayor doesn't take public security seriously and instead leaves it apparently last on her list of priorities, same as her husband, the previous mayor, did. Stay alert, please!

We had a blackout downtown this Tuesday evening that lasted about a half an hour. No idea what the cause was. At least the noisy bars down the block quieted down when all their clients went home. YAY! We're all good now.

White pelicans are back! Such beautiful birds.

[image]Centrally located and very affordable, Condo Serenidad #2 is a 1-bedroom condo overlooking Playa La Madera in Zihuatanejo that offers many comforts to make you feel at home on your vacation. It enjoys an extremely lovely view of the beach and bay, and with the large picture window open, it has a very open-air feel and receives refreshing breezes through the palm trees in front. This vacation rental condo has a full kitchen, Wi-fi, A/C, and cable TV as well as a pool on the property and 24-hour security. Easy walking distance to many restaurants as well as downtown shopping.

Pelicanos Blancos

Back in Canada my family had cottages over the decades at Pelican Lake in Manitoba where the adolescent pelicans spent their time until they settle down elsewhere. I remember watching a pod of over one hundred pelicans soar across the lake. Mi gusta pelicanos! I was so glad to see them when I moved here. I may have seen their grandes grandes remos.

Great news about Daniels. It is a wonderful location for breakfast, great food, toes in the sand. We miss it when they close.

Hmmm. And here I was thinking of driving down this winter season.
Maybe the bad guys wouldn't be interested in my 2012 Ford, (hecho en Hermosillo)?

And that would help me how? When we had our car stolen in Zihua in 2007, they found it 2 days later, up in the Sierra, 50-80 km northeast of Zihua, damaged beyond repair.
( I can hear you saying: And you would drive down again?)

And it's so much nicer to be able to sit back and watch the views, than be gripping the wheel and worrying about the crazy drivers on the road.
