Un CalorZIHto en Serio

Our hearts go out to the folks in Colombia affected by the 7.4 earthquake and the new fascist government that took power this Monday morning.

Monday began cloudy and warm, and it just kept getting hotter and hotter. It got up to 38°C in Zihuatanejo, which is, I believe, the hottest it's been here all year. No rain today, and the small percentage in the forecast for tonight simply can't be taken seriously. Maybe this Tuesday we'll get lucky. The water temperature is around 31.4°C, almost 2°C warmer than normal for this time of year. I expect we'll have a bleaching event of our local coral and that there will be fish die-offs of smaller species as well as a migration of larger species to cooler waters. It won't be long until it seriously affects local fishermen, who will have to seek economic relief from the municipal government, which is why they voice no opinions in public against anything the municipal government does.

Local tourism numbers are way down and so are sales. As bad as it is in Zihuatanejo, it's even worse for the merchants and restaurants in Ixtapa. All the new hot cement didn't attract any new tourists, in contrast to what they were promised by the mayor before she tore up their walkways and gardens and replaced it with her husband's family's cement. The only clients I saw in any waterfront restaurants this evening were a group of politicians. Everywhere else was empty. Pizzas locas had some business, but they're popular with locals who recommend them, and pizzas are a popular economic meal, like tacos.

I was musing today with some of my friends in the Virgin Islands who were also quite disappointed with their territorial government that, like ours, never seems to be able to resolve any real problems even though they manage to disappear hundreds of millions of dollars every year. It seems that everywhere more people are on the same page, and it all seems to be leading towards a more democratic socialist form of government, though many don't even realize that it's what they're describing. Here in Mexico's federal government we've been gravitating towards it for years since the Morena party came to power, and businesses and industries have been responding positively. Now if only we could get the crony capitalists out of the way, including locally. Legacy of a dying political party.

A good place to escape the problems of the world is Troncones. Tucked away in a quiet corner of Troncones is one of its loveliest vacation lodgings, Regalo del Mar. A uniquely Mexican small, exotic, luxurious tropical-style vacation guest inn on the beach at Playa Troncones with comfortable suites, bungalows, and a pool. Surrounded by exuberant gardens and natural beauty, it's a place for nature lovers, peaceful and ideal for relaxing. Far from anything resembling stress. (click to enlarge image)
