Saturday night it rained lightly much of the night, stopping before dawn. People were out early enjoying being able to walk around without it raining. I was surprised to see how many tourists were in town since they've either been stuck indoors like everyone else or they just arrived. The port of Zihuatanejo was opened for small vessels at 8AM, and immediately there was a rush to get to the pier to get to Playa Las Gatas. Isla Ixtapa was only accessible via the pier at Playa Quieta. The pier at Playa Linda is again a disaster and a danger to the public. The sun even came out today, FINALLY, and sort of helped dry things out, but it'll take several more days of sunshine to get rid of all the mud at the pier. Unfortunately, the forecast for our part of the coast looks dire for the coming week.

Those who can leave probably should get on it. The rest of us have no choice but to hunker down and deal with the looming disaster. Those who think I'm being an alarmist are certainly within their rights to wait and see if I'm wrong, and if so tell me a hearty "TOLD YA SO!" But if I'm right, then I get to do the same to you if we both live through it.

The waterfront and pier were full of mostly neighbors and locals enjoying the respite from the rain this Sunday evening. Yes, the pier remains a muddy mess with no lights after dark. A stain on the local government that appears to simply not care about the people who use and work from the pier daily. Even though municipal workers spent hours trying to clean the sand off the waterfront walkway, it remains extremely sandy. Maybe instead of building a cement walkway that covered 3 meters more of the beach with cement, the municipal government should've simply built a small wall to keep the sand and the waves out. That was my wife's suggestion when they were planning it.

[image]A lovely little hotel in Troncones is Hotel Los Sueños. This enchanting oceanfront inn offers 6 one-bedroom suites, a two-bedroom family suite with kitchen, and a "cozy" surfers' room also with kitchen, queen-size bed and bunk bed. All rooms have A/C, fridge, hammock, wireless internet, and there is a pool on the property. Located on Playa Troncones within easy walking distance of the village, restaurants and convenience stores.

We'll continue to monitor things, and more closely on your advice. We always do, but.....

Yep - nice to see the sun! I love hearing Luis Miguel, but not looking at him. My husband thinks that's weird. And yet, signed the marriage certificate! HA!
