PreZIHpitación Nocturna

After a brief overnight rain, we enjoyed a stellar Monday of absolutely picture-postcard-perfect weather in Zihuatanejo-Ixtapa! The water in the bay is still murky but improving. The waves are relatively small but they've still been surfable most days. The water running in canal La Boquita is actually quite clear. If only the government would clean up Laguna Las Salinas instead of only simulating doing so. Many locals would like to see the area around Las Salinas converted into a park, a proposal we've been pushing for years to one unresponsive municipal government after another. Same as our calls for a new modern hospital.

Speaking of unresponsive, the public outcry against the municipal government's plan to "remodel" the Panteón de La Madera has been quite large and uniform, particularly by neighbors and people with family buried there. But I suspect the neighbors and families will be ignored by this municipal government, which is simply a continuation of the past one. The sale of their cement, the family business, appears paramount to everything else. A damn shame and a tragedy for what remains of Zihuatanejo's natural beauty and original culture. What will remain unpaved after 2 more years of this government? Too little, I fear.

What the community would like to see them use their cement for is repairing the canal La Boquita. Amazing to see it so deteriorated while we have a municipal government anxiously pouring its cement everywhere except where it's needed.

A big swirly thing looks like it's going to sit in the Golfo de Tehuantepec for a few days, so it probably won't affect us next weekend as I'd thought it would. Nevertheless, the water remains quite warm and favorable for development of storms, so I'll be keeping a close eye on it.

La Porteña restaurant reopens this Friday! We've practically been going through withdrawals while they've been closed, but they certainly earned a restful vacation. Pizzas Locas has also been closed, so we had no pizza last Sunday as I'd been hoping for. We're too spoiled to order from other places.

Speaking of favorite restaurants, if you're a fan of mouth-watering recipes, one of the best reasons for visiting Ixtapa is to go to Deborah's Restaurant. Whether for breakfast, lunch or dinner, everything we've ever eaten there has been prepared to perfection and the service has always been excellent. Deborah also makes some of the best desserts around, so save room when you go.
