Una PoblaZIHón Aliviada

Tuesday night the town was closed up tight. Nothing was open and almost no one was out. People were at home glued to the weather reports on their TVs, computers, smartphones, and radios. Sleep didn't come easy with the anxiety. But it never rained. Around 3:30 in the morning a breeze kicked up that seemed to be coming from the hills and blowing out to sea, but it didn't last very long. We were surprised to awake to a dry town. Expecting rain that never fell until later in the afternoon. Bank employees were standing about in the street this morning when we walked across town, apparently whoever had the keys wasn't expecting to open and arrived late. BBBV never did open. But the hardworking folks at the mercado, fruterías and tortillerías were certainly all working as were the workers remodeling the mercado.

It's still totally overcast and sprinkling off and on, but it looks like at least we'll all get a good restful sleep tonight.

The port of Zihuatanejo will remain closed this Jueves Pozolero, but unless the waves are large in the bay, which they aren't at the moment, then it's expected that trips around the bay and from the pier to Las Gatas and back will be allowed. Isla Ixtapa will remain closed.

The tourists who are here apparently aren't leaving their lodgings. The streets and the waterfront remained deserted all day. There's almost no beach in Ixtapa to enjoy because the waves are washing so high that they're uncovering turtle nests, and their eggs can be seen washing around in the surf at the waterline.

For folks looking for beachfront lodging at Playa La Ropa, have a look at Embarc Villas. Lovely 2- and 3-bedroom vacation condos with terraces and a privileged view of Zihuatanejo Bay. Features A/C, TVs, internet, private dip pool, common pool, pool bar, restaurant, gym, beach chairs with palapas, and 24-hour security. A great location! (click to enlarge photo)

La marea extremadamente alta y las lluvias abrieron la barra completamente en la boca del canal La Boquita en Zihuatanejo.
