We are having a wonderful time in Zihua! It is paradise. I know today is Pozole day - what are the best spots? We have been to Santa Prisca in the past - still recommended?

Also - what time and where is the parade? Our kids are very excited to watch the excitement.

Off to the pool! Thank for your help.

My wife and I like the pozolería "El Profe" in Coacoyul best. All the taxi drivers know where it is.

The parade is supposed to start at 9am, but it isn't always punctual. The main plaza may be a good place to watch it from or the Plaza del Artista or anywhere along the first block of Vicente Guerrero on the shady side, but be aware that so many parents and family members follow their little angels that often it seems like there is another parade on the sidewalks, and it can be a little frustrating sometimes for spectators.

Rob, your fotografías are always amazing. The "jinete" in your pic is Bernardo. All turistas who spend any time at all in Zihua have probably purchased queso oaxaqueño from him on the beaches or in the mercado. He's a charming fellow. At times he gives kids rides on his horse down Playa la Ropa near Rosy's. Keep the fotos coming Rob. Abrazos

Couldn't find him our last trip a couple of weeks ago, bought supposed Oaxacan queso at Comer, tasteless...

There are many venoors at the Mercado Municipal that sell various types of cheeses. Comercial is NOT your only alternative. There is also a Cremeria (sp?) around the corner from Dona Licha that sells various types of cheeses and other dairy products.

You can't go wrong with "Anys" and then there also "Nadie No Se Lo Dias" which also has some interesting entertainment.

Don't rub it in. The windshield installers were just about done yesterday when the boss gave the top corner a slap to seat in better and Yep. Broke it. Guess we're here for another week.

Wouldn't you know they changed the time of the parade this year to 8am, a good idea since it's too hot by 9am.

Parade started!

It was a long one! Just about 4 hours.

It's in several of this morning's local newspapers. Was she a friend of yours?

I'm terribly sorry.

A less prejudicial story can be found in Despertar de la Costa. Give them a couple more hours to get it uploaded and available.

Thanks Rob I will watch for that. She really loved Z. Her and her husband built a casa bonita and embraced living there.I think her and her husband were involved somehow with Bandidos and were always up for a party
