Menos AnZIHedad Hoy

After a cool, calm and refreshing night of perfect sleep, we awoke to a cloudy morning, but it barely sprinkled today and there was hardly a noticeable breeze. You'd never know we were under threat of a hurricane. But the Capitanía opened the bay up to small vessels, and fishermen were able to work, and water taxis were able to go to Playa Las Gatas and Isla Ixtapa.

Everyone was focused on tracking the storm, and early today before noon it was reported that Trudy had been upgraded to a Cat 3 hurricane, a powerful storm. But a hurricane tracker flew through it and reported that the hurricane was losing force, and just after noon it was downgraded to a Cat 1. As the hurricane neared our coast it seemed to be weakening, and its rains were breaking up instead of growing denser. While it rained heavily in other parts of the state, it barely sprinkled in Zihuatanejo, and the sun even came out intermittently. Amazing! We appear to have dodged another bullet.

We still may see some rains and gusting wind this Saturday, and we're definitely going to be seeing more large waves and extreme tides, but the prospects of a devastating storm hitting us have diminished considerably, and one can sense the collective sigh of relief among locals.

Surfers can rejoice because the surf's up!

Don't miss the Eco-Tianguis "Sanka" that happens every Saturday from 8:30 a.m. until 1:40 p.m. in the small plaza in front of the Vicente Guerrero school, across the street from the Museo Arqueológico de la Costa Grande in downtown Zihuatanejo by the waterfront where La Boquita canal runs into the bay. If it looks like rain, then they'll set up in the Cancha Solidaridad two blocks to the east just off Paseo de La Boquita. Besides wonderful handcrafts, they feature a variety of homegrown produce, fresh foods including pastries, breads and tamales, fresh coffee, juices, and mezcal.

In an island-like atmosphere apart from the rest of Zihuatanejo you'll find Villa del Co at Playa Las Gatas behind Carlo Scuba and their restaurant Chez Camille. Perfect for nature lovers and divers. A 2-story vacation rental bungalow with three bedrooms that can be rented separately. Features A/C in the ground floor apartments and an open-air upstairs apartment with mosquito netting, each with a private bathroom. Shared kitchen, terrace and dining area. A true paradise!
