Temporada de ZIHclones

Friday night was perfect sleeping weather with a light fragrant breeze and the lullaby of an easy surf. A bright and clear morning sky preceded a warm and balmy day of perfect beach weather. More visitors showed up this Saturday, and many local merchants enjoyed some modest sales, but the downtown waterfront restaurants were never full today or this evening. A sign of the end of summer vacation season?

There was some wonderful music and dancing at the Cancha Municipal this evening. Musicians and dancers from the Costa Chica put on a wonderful exhibition of their music and traditional dancing. I saw many children trying to learn the dance steps.

All the families out enjoying being together on the Paseo del Pescador this evening are a reminder that they are one of Mexico's greatest beauties and strengths. They are always a beautiful and welcome sight, and we're fortunate to enjoy the privilege of living in a place that so many of them want to visit.

Sadly, there was a loud concert this Saturday evening in front of where the enslaved dolphins live trapped in their tiny tanks in Ixtapa's Playa El Palmar. The municipal government including its office of Ecología couldn't care less that they suffer from the loud noise due to their acute hearing. Oh, and LOUD MUSIC on a Blue Flag beach underscores the municipal government's hypocrisy. It's banned under Blue Flag rules, but apparently only if played by beachgoers.

The big swirly thing currently off our coast poses no risk to us, but it's a reminder that we're in the peak season of the year for hurricanes. For boat captains it's a good time to haul them out and give them their yearly maintenance and a fresh coat of paint. For the rest of us it's a good time to make sure we're ready for the worst.

Tucked away on a quiet street in La Madera neighborhood is the lovely vacation inn, Villa Cruz del Mar. A colonial-style home converted into a small family-run vacation inn featuring 12 comfortable air-conditioned rooms, some with kitchenettes, all with cable TV, surrounding an enclosed garden courtyard with a pool. Free wireless internet access and secure parking. Located less than 100 yards from the beach and within easy walking distance of numerous excellent restaurants.
