This blog entry is not chronological, but we have found that pictures are going to pop up wherever they want to in blogspot. Blogspot is not really picture friendly, but that is just the way it is. Anyway, Ken's wife, Rita, came to visit him the week of 2/1 so she could be with him on his birthday. She and Ken stayed at a great spot up the hill at the end of Playa la Ropa and we enjoyed visiting on land (using the pool and showers) and getting off the boat a bit. One night, we walked the beach to our restaurant and had an elegant meal under the stars. It just does not get much better than that!
Looks as if the scarecrow is not effective for pelicans...

Look who we ran into at Elvira's on 1/28! Fred and Laura Smith from Ocean Park. We knew they were scheduled to be in Zihua - I thought from 1/27 for a week, but it turned out they were there from 1/23 for one week. So, we ran into them just in time for a great afternoon at their lovely hotel on the hill at Puerto Mio, across the Bay from Playa la Ropa. They came aboard for lunch the next day and then Laura and I went shopping for pewter items. After a successful expedition, we again met up with the guys and had cocktails on the beach. It was a great time. Laura gave me the perfect white tank top!
Zihua's central market has everything a person needs. We enjoyed shopping for fresh fruits and produce, eating at their restaurants, and buying fish. This fish stand was recommended because it is in the shade and they will put a little ice on your purchase so you don't have to run right back to the boat to stick it in the refrigerator. We purchased fresh huachinango (red snapper) and camarones (shrimp) in the shell with heads by the kilo. The fishermen bring in the product each day and the store is open until they sell out.
