ZIHUATANEJO

Did I write in my last blog that I wasn't going to share photos and stories about Zihuatanejo? Well I was wrong. I am having so much fun here, I decided to stay well beyond my plan to leave soon after New Years.

There are a number of cruisers here that I have met along the way and we always find time to enjoy each others company and stories as well as exploring the area and its' beauty. Finally let's not forget getting together under a palm tree for beers and margaritas.

So without further ado, let the cameras roll as I share with you some of the local color.

Fishing is a very large part of the local economy as well as tourism. Fisherman are going and coming around the clock as they return from the sea with their catch.


They keep their supplies in these locked containers.


This is one of the many areas where you can buy fresh fish caught only a few hours earlier.


These are boats that have returned from the evening fishing while many others are out fishing during the day.


One of the many bars and restaurants in town. You could spend six months here going to a new place each day to eat and drink. The food is excellent in every place I have eaten. Even the street vendors. No
Tex-Mex or Taco Bell here.


These are statues that are placed around the village.







Now this one is my favorite. I wish I could find someone to perform a miracle and turn stone into flesh so I could sign her on as crew.


This is the bay where I am anchored.


Translated to english " Littering our beach, our beach is like throwing it away" I have noticed that Mexico has a big campaign to teach everyone on the need to keep the streets, highways and the beaches clean. Unlike Central America, Mexico places garbage cans where is is easy to place your trash rather than throwing it away.



One of those boats is Dolce Vita.


Is this Arizona?


Growing and producing beautiful flowers from a crack in the rocks.


I set behind the camera with my feet up, leaning back in my chair while I drink my cold margarita on the beach on a wonderful warm sunny day with no snow around anywhere. Eat you heart out.


Entrance into the local church.


Photos of Mexico would not be complete without a picture of a sombrero.


Signs at the entrance of the bar and/or restaurant.



Tequila anyone? To suggest that I wasn't tempted to buy a keg would not be telling the truth.


Beautiful leather works inside this shop.  The cowboy boots were the best I have ever seen anywhere.



The Captains daughter. Great food!




One of the many streets where cars are not allowed.



A little slow in getting the Christmas decorations down.





Our Christmas Tree.


Hopefully you enjoy the latest blog. Send me comments if only to say hello so I know someone is reading these blogs or I may have to discontinue the life and times of Dennis and Dolce Vita.

Until next time, be safe out there.
