Días Lentos de las VacaZIHones

Sunday night's forecasted rain never materialized, but overnight temperatures were quite comfortable for sleeping with the windows open and a fan on medium. Another night where sleeping under the sheets was optional. But rain continues in the forecast for the next several days along with otherwise quite pleasant weather. Poor Pátzcuaro got hit with hail, extremely heavy rain and a waterspout this Monday leaving considerable damage.

Monday morning was overcast with mild temperatures. The ocean is extremely calm and perfect for swimming, albeit bathtub warm. Bummer for surfers, but conditions will improve for them over the next few days, and by the weekend things should be gnarly.

The presence of tourists has dropped considerably. Sales were minimal in downtown Zihuatanejo for shops and restaurants. So far the summer season has been mostly a disappointment. We're simply not receiving as many visitors with the purchasing power that we used to get at this time of year.

I was extremely saddened to see that an ancient guamúchil tree near La Lonja y Casanova's restaurants on Calle Adelita had been cut down recently. A real shame. There was no reason to cut it down that I'm aware of, and I've passed by there regularly for decades before there was even a street there. Prune it maybe, but remove it and leave a stump, no. A shame the municipal government doesn't appreciate trees, especially older ones, as much as it does cement.

One of our region's truly lovely vacation lodgings is Casa La Paloma, a place that will take your breath away and leave you wanting to stay longer than you planned. This beachfront vacation home is located on a quiet, sandy stretch of Playa Troncones. Sleeping capacity is 12 in 6 bedrooms. Enjoy the poolside bar and large gourmet kitchen, as well as the oceanfront palapas with hammocks and lounge chairs. Peaceful and relaxing. (click to enlarge photo)
