Zihuatanejo – Mexico

We arrived into the small fishing village of Zihuatanejo early this morning and anchored in the bay. The crew then started to deploy the lifeboats that were to be our “Tenders” for getting everyone ashore.Since many guests had pre-booked shore excursions they were the first ones off the ship and it wasn’t until about 10:00 a.m. that we got on shore. Zihuatanejo is a really nice little fishing village. It feels very safe and the people are very friendly. Yes, there is the traditional street sellers trying to get you to buy their wares, but one “No Gracias” is all that is required and they leave you alone.We took the beach walk along Playa (Beach) Municipal, then to Playa Madera and finally took a hike up and over a hill to Playa Ropa. Dean and Judy headed off to enjoy a day in the sun.

Brenda and I sat for while and then headed back to the Market to do some shopping. After purchasing a few things we found a little restaurant to have a couple of Cervezas and use their Internet connection so we could download e-mail.  After that we caught the tender back to the ship.

Tonight was casual dress in the dining room.
