Día Final de las VacaZIHones de Verano

https://youtu.be/oDAuRlwC8_g

Downtown Zihuatanejo received a brief but refreshing overnight rain. Not quite enough to wash the sidewalks or streets clean, but enough to leave puddles and wash garbage into the bay where, of course, there were tourists swimming at sunup. There was a lovely refreshing, almost cool breeze this Saturday morning. Quite a change from the mornings of the past few weeks.

The very few visitors we saw arriving this morning looked quite disappointed to see the cloudy skies, though it didn't rain for the rest of this Saturday in Zihuatanejo Bay. The beaches weren't very busy nor were the beachfront restaurants downtown. This Sunday is the last day of Mexico's summer vacation season. This Monday millions of students across the country will be back in school, much to the relief of millions of parents.

Just a heads up to those of you who live or reside here during the slow season. This is a time of increased crime. Break-ins and holdups become more common, and I expect more activity after the disappointing tourist season.

The obscenity at the pier continues with no public renderings of the final outcome, much less what's being spent on it. Never mind the rest of the long list of irregularities. The people who seem to support it are mostly people who almost never go to the pier and/or who tend to always kiss up to the politicians in power. None of my neighbors have anything good to say about it, but after what happened to Alex Serna, people are afraid to speak up or to speak openly.

The mar de fondo continues, and swimming was mostly impossible for most visitors at beaches outside Zihuatanejo Bay. Even within our sheltered bay, the waves can be dangerous for inexperienced swimmers. Never turn your back to the waves when you're in the ocean. Watch out for strong currents, undertows and riptides.

If you're looking for an affordable vacation rental with a great location, take a look at Casa Contenta at La Ceiba complex. A comfortable vacation lodging located a block from the beach in Colonia La Madera and near many excellent restaurants. Enjoy your vacation in this 2-bedroom condo with a spacious living/dining area and a balcony overlooking a garden and pool.
