Zihuatanejo - where the mountains meet the sea

Buenos dias! Estamos aqui!! Que Magnifico!!!

Yesterday, March 1st, we made it to MSP ontime, 430 in the morning. Our plane left on time, 630 in the morning. And, you guessed it, we made it to Zihuatanejo on time, 11am. We made it through immigration and customs without having to be searched, yay! We got our rental car, it was a manual transmission, Leila did a happy dance - love driving manuals. Chuck thought, oh boy. Chuck was right. Zihuatanejo is like Duluth on steroids! The foothills from the Sierra Madre come right to the water. The town is filled with steep, steep , steep, steep hilly roads that are vey, very, very narrow - Leila thought about crying, but perservered with Chucks support instead. Looking back, we made it to our hotel, probably, in record time for a couple of gringos! So we are here, we walked around town, layed on the beach, took a dip in the ocean, ate fresh mahi mahi with a morel mushroom sauce for lunch and garlic shrimp for dinner. Can you believe morel mushrooms in Mexico - morels!!!

More later, pics too. The beach is calling.
