PedaZIHto de Arcoíris

Mexicans everywhere celebrated their team's World Cup match win over South Korea last night. In streets all over the country folks were out chanting and singing, as is customary in a World Cup win. Close to a million people filled Mexico City's Avenida Reforma in both directions from the Ángel de la Independencia, and they partied into the wee hours. A scene we hope to see repeated if Mexico continues to win matches. Their next match is against the Czech Republic on Wednesday, June 24 at 7PM.

Tragically, it appears that a woman from the USA drowned this Friday at Playa La Majahua between Zihuatanejo and Ixtapa. Newspapers haven't identified her. They only estimated her age at around 60 years old. I have never recommended swimming at this beach, and this is a reminder why.

The mar de fondo is predicted to generate swells from 2 to 2.3 meters high this Saturday and Sunday. It's not so much the height of the waves that makes these swells dangerous for swimmers but the volume of water they push that causes swirling currents and riptides.

We're getting a nice rain at the moment. It'll probably keep us from taking a stroll this evening. Thank goodness we still have electricity, though it went off briefly a little while ago. A cultural folkloric music and dancing event that was going to take place this evening in Plaza del Artista had to be called off. Not sure if the fútbol watching event at the Cancha Municipal is also cancelled for tonight. I wouldn't want to be there in this storm. It started less than an hour ago, but the streets downtown are starting to flood already. This could be bad for some places. But instead of dealing with this and other historical local problems, our mayor is focused on an expensive and totally unnecessary vanity project at our municipal pier, a place she almost never visits, and that still has no illumination after dark after over 3 weeks since her vanity project got underway and cut the electric lines. I believe she displays an incredible amount of arrogance and disrespect towards the community with nonsense like this. It's extremely disappointing.

With this weather, our weekend tourism may not be what it usually is. I don't recommend swimming in the water for at least 3 days after a heavy rain due to the runoff. A shame our local health "authorities" don't put signs at the beaches warning bathers of the health dangers.
