Fin de Semana y de las VacaZIHones

During the wee hours of Saturday morning we received a nice rainstorm that caused some minor flooding but gave us the rain we've been needing. Unfortunately, it blew down a large tree near our house in Ixtapa that fell on our fence. Protección Civil came and cut it up, but we hate to lose any of our beautiful trees, especially older ones that provide so much shade. I hope no one left their laundry out on the line.

It was cloudy at dawn this Saturday, but the sun still managed to come out for a while. However, smart people know to avoid swimming in the ocean after a heavy rain. Most of our visitors this Saturday seemed to either go to Las Gatas, Isla Ixtapa, Playa El Palmar or Playa Linda. The rest of the beaches in Zihuatanejo remained mostly empty today. Just as some musicians, dancers, artists and sellers of handcrafts from Uruapan got set up in Plaza del Artista this late afternoon, it started sprinkling. Karma for ruining our siesta with their blaring music sound check?

We have a tropical system forming up in front of our coast, and it's likely to bring considerable rain for the next several days. Just in time for students to return to classes. But we need the rain, so let's make the best of it. Keep an eye on the local weather so you know what's coming.

Well, this weekend marks the end of our summer vacation season. The local government is calling it one of the best while local merchants and restaurants are calling it one of the worst. I believe the people in the businesses, not vote-seeking politicians or the folks seeking to please their bosses with cifras alegres.

One of the nicer more affordable vacation rentals in La Madera neighborhood is Casa Linda located atop the small hill at La Madera with views of the bay and town. Three apartments that can be rented all together or individually, each beautifully decorated with Mexican handcrafts. One with two en-suite bedrooms and two with one bedroom each as well as a sofa or pull out bed. All with full kitchens, living area, balconies, and shared access to a garden with BBQ facilities as well as the rooftop terrace.
