It was already warm and humid when we awoke this Wednesday morning. The overcast skies provided little relief, and the sun soon came out and warmed things up much more than the 36°C that was registered by local thermometers. There didn't seem to be that many people around in downtown Zihuatanejo today on the beach or in the waterfront restaurants. At around 31.5°C, the ocean doesn't provide much relief for bathers. Sales appeared to be slow for most downtown merchants. Merchants in Ixtapa complain that the "remodeled" shopping center is noticeably hotter than it used to be. Well duh. Se los dije.

The municipal government laid plastic, threw dirt on top of it, and then packed it down in the trench they cut beside the few remaining tamarindo and guamúchil trees at the pier entrance where they had damaged their roots earlier. So now the trees will get even less water from the rains on their western side. How unthoughtful of them. Not a shred of ecological decency. I'm truly astounded at the lengths they go to to kill our local trees while pouring their cement. Bummer!

The Danzón dancers had a fun time this evening in Plaza del Artista. Passersby sat and enjoyed the music and the dancing, part of our disappearing local culture.

The fishermen appeared to have enjoyed another bountiful night, and this Wednesday morning the mercado de los pescadores on Zihuatanejo's downtown beach was bustling with activity. Good to see. It's also good to see that the seafood section of the Mercado Municipal has finally opened back up after 6 months of renovations. Never mind they were told it would only be two months, same as the rest of the locatarios. Now the municipal government says the restaurants currently in the street will have to wait another two months for their section of the mercado to be ready for them to occupy.

This coming weekend is looking good for surfers! Hang in there.

A favorite location for many visitors, Amor del Sol located overlooking Playa La Madera is an extremely comfortable and nicely appointed condominium that offers from 1 to 3 bedrooms (only pay for what you need!). The complex has a pool, but the ocean at La Madera is often calm enough for easy swimming. (click to enlarge photo)
