So I guess video posts to follow…
To summarize future video posts we’ve got geckos for roommates and fruit bats for neighbors! So cool!
Zihuatanejo is a fishing village on the Pacific Ocean. Many cruise lines stop here so it’s become quite the little tourist spot. Due to Hurricane Dean off the Atlantic coast and on our similar latitude (or simply the time of year as some of the locals seem to believe) the weather since we arrived has been off and on thunderstorms. The rain seems to have greatly alleviated what we thought was going to be fairly intense heat with highs and lows to be about 90s and 70s. The rain has greatly encouraged us to hang back and relax and enjoy our awesome resort. The video post will show that we have no windows, so nights with the thunder/lighting/down pouring has been interesting to say the least! Though I must say, to the credit of the architect, we have remained dry as bones in our open room.
It’s so cool there’s no way to explain it!
The ocean water is warm, though a little dirty. We’re going to try to rent a SeaDoo later in the week. Gotta get some videos of that one!
We watched Shawshank last night. That was fun. Now we know for sure that the place the ending was filmed was certainly not here!
The staff here has been great and we’ve gotten an opportunity to brush up on Spanish that we studied almost 10 years ago. I can’t decide if Mrs. Boch would be proud of my efforts at speaking with the natives, or disappointed that I’ve remembered so little! Kel took a couple of years as well, and between the 2 of us we seem to be managing pretty well. Several people here speak Spanish fluently and those that don't know enough english to coach us through our spanish.
"Tratamos de hablar espanol." We say this often. It roughy means "we're working on our spanish."
