What a beautiful tribute to Guadalupe that Mexico enjoyed last night. Did any of you watch it? There were no more skyrockets last night or today, thank goodness. Of course, once school lets out and the vacation season starts in earnest, tourists often bring fireworks with them and spend much of the holiday season driving everyone else crazy with them. :rant:

This Thursday morning was yet another beautiful relatively cool and cloudless morning. Clouds rolled in later in the day, but no rain unfortunately. There still aren't many tourists around, very few for this time of year. Sales are very slow for most local shop owners due to the lack of visitors. Thank goodness for the extranjeros who ARE here. We're extremely grateful for them. But it's interesting to see Canadians overtaking Gringos in numbers. You can tell because instead of seeing U.S. football games on local TVs at restaurants and bars they put hockey games. A sure sign. ;-)

Downtown was quiet this evening. Hardly anyone out'n'about. Daniel's was one of the few places that was doing a good business this evening when we strolled past.

Expect to hear more shouts of ¡GOOOOOL! this Thursday night.

La imagen de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe en el altar de la iglesia del mismo nombre en Zihuatanejo. El altar de madera fue traído por barco desde Acapulco hace alrededor de 70 años cuando fue construida la iglesia gracias a los esfuerzos de mi querida suegra, Doña Rosa Farias.

We did see the tribute to Guadalupe. Very interesting, and surprising, at least to us, that young Mexicans seem to be bucking world-wide trends that suggest the young are staying away from organized religion in growing numbers.
