Zihua Friday 7.14.6

Well talk about lazy.... i messed around and didnt get out and about till 10'ish. stopped to handle my Blog. Found some client emails and got tied up awhile. it was almost 1:30 by the time i headed for Playa La Ropa. then i got sidetracked. as i crested the big hill and was headed down to the beach i ran across a small little italian restaurant clinging to the mountain face, overlooking the bay. i stopped for 'just one photo,' and an hour and a half later im still there. fresh Chilean Salmon in Bow tie pasta smothered with cheese and garlic. my downfall was i could smell it when i went out on thier balcony to take my photo... they weren't really open yet but sat me anyway. so i am sitting overlooking everything with a killer breeze and fantastic lunch. about 2:30 i decide it's time to move. im still on the crest of the hill. down to the hot beach or down to the airconditioned nap room? so here are the photos from lunch.

now ive answered client emails. it's 11:15am and im heading again 'toward' Playa La Ropa. no promises - as i am turning mexican. "manana' is good enough for me." i no longer sweat. i move slow and stay in the shade. when you get hot you sit. when you get tired you get up from sitting and move to other shade. heck, i can watch people work all day.

hope it's a lovely view wherever YOU are! xo Skip

Zihua Thur 7.13

Thur report 7.13

Yesterday was a lovely, clear sunny day. After picking up my laundry and visiting my local internet café I decided to visit the Playa Las Gatos. It sits on the southern rim of the Zihuatanejo bay. (a large scemi circle) it’s only accessible by boat. You walk down the little trail along the ocean and through town to the city pier. For $3us you get roundtrip tickets to ride the little ferry boats with 10 people. It takes about 5-10 minutes each way.

I met a couple from California who invited me to join them and share their shaded table seaside. They swam and I sat. it was perfect. I stayed long after the couple, till almost 5pm, when the sun begin to get lower in the sky and shade was harder to find. By the time I made my way back up the hill, showered and cooled off it was dark. Moving my photos took the rest of the night. (I also watched some mystery on TV. The trick is you have to find something with sub titles so you can understand what’s going on, or watch something you’ve seen before so the Spanish dialogue doesn’t matter.)

Now im awake, and feeling great. I’ve had my coffee, cantaloupe breakfast and am ready for adventure. Today I go to Playa La Ropa. A new beach with more great new photos. Clear skies with thin cotton whisps of cloud promise great shots. It’s gonna be a hot one!
