Z Twilight Stroll
Last evening the waterfront was the place to be. The bay was extremely calm after several days of high surf from the passing of Cristina. There was a welcome gentle breeze, and as it often does, it seemed like a magical time to be in Zihuatanejo. Wandering musicians were out as well as families and lovers, all enjoying the early evening sights and sounds.
As my wife, Lupita, and I strolled along with our chihuahua Lola we greeted and spied many friends and neighbors along the way to and from the pier including our dear friend Joaquín who just opened his new restaurant "La Porteña" next door to one of his former restaurants "Casa Elvira". At the main plaza folks were doing the traditional dance known as danzón in the gazebo.
Even though the sky looked like it was threatening to rain, no rain came and it was just another humid and balmy evening in the tropics.
We're trying to enjoy as much as we can the last days of Zihuatanejo's pier before it gets torn down and rebuilt. Like the puppy dog said when he got his tail shut in the door, it won't be long now.

These same two guys are always playing checkers here at this hour unless it's raining.
