Zihuatanejo Day 10

Well, we are all packed up and ready to go. Sadly, but we will be back again.
I will post a web album of pictures when we return.

See you home!

Zihuatanejo Day........Something or other.

Tonight, my friend Kirk Ingertila , his wife Pam and his awesome mom arrived. We went to a locals only place called La Sanka Grill, where we met Jimmy and Josie; two renowned ex-pat musicians.

After our return from LGBC, we went back to the Mercado Tourista and one of our favorite places is Bandito's. Here we had the best live music with a couple of local musicians.

LGBC Navy boat? :-)

This is Las Gatas Beach CLub. Owned by Owen Lee, a retired U.S. veteran and surfer. He created LGBC in 1968. Not much remains of the beach club, but you can feel the presence of the history as you walk the LGBC grounds.



Today, we took a trip to Las Gatas Beach. It is located on the south end of Bahia de Zihuatanejo. We took a Panga boat (water taxi) there for $140 pesos.

Zihuatanejo Day 5 - Playa La Ropa

Today, we hung out at Playa La Ropa. Here is a video (sans sound) of what it looks like.
Playa La Ropa is located a few blocks down from our condo. We had some pretty good waves from the wake of Andres.

This picture was taken about 7:00 PM on Monday night. THe waves crashing up on the north side of Zihua bay.

Monday, June 22nd - We are expecting Tropical Storm Andres to arrive anytime today, so we think we are going to venture in to Ixtapa before it does. As soon as we arrived in Ixtapa, boom! it hit! Wind gusts up to 50-70 miles per hour, huge waves and then, the rain - sheets, buckets, but the most awesome thing was? It was still 85 degrees ahhhhhh........ We took refuge in the Heaven and Hell cantina and dried off a bit. Had a great lunch and went back to the condo to ride the storm out.....

Sunday in Zihuatanejo - Day 3

It then escalated into an incredible lightning show. This photograph courtesy of Peter Carey.

Sunday evening, we got a small tropical rain that came in after 5:00 PM.

After walking Playa Madera, we headed up the steps to Hotel Las Brisas to catch a cab back to Que Ve Al Mar for some cooling off in the pool

After lunch, we headed up Play Principal to Playa Madera. HOT HOT HOT!! 95 degrees and 100% humidity

We had lunch at the Sirena Gorda (Fat Mermaid) today and were serenaded by these two talented musicians.
