Last night we had a rip roaring thunder an lightening storm.   Beautiful but only  lasted about an hour , but the lightening was spectacular and only a brief flicker of a power failure. This morning I woke to a  almost  daylight sky with a full moon shinning in thru our patio door,  and clear skies.  But what to my wondering eyes should appear over the bay but a whole string of lights  that had never been there before.  Thankfully my camera

has a good zoom, I can’t hold the  camera still enough to get a good picture on super zoom, but good enough to see that it was a large cruise ship.  I knew no cruise ships had scheduled stops in Zihuatanejo this year, so I suspect they were seeing safe harbor from the storm.  By one that afternoon they were gone.

Also yesterday a large yacht came into the bay.  I wonder now if they had warnings about the weather and decided to “slum it overnight” in our bay. Yachts like that aren’t the average visitor here.

I keep finding traces of Christmas here and there. No one is in a hurry to take down the decorations.  On my morning quest to get my newspaper I discovered this large cactus still decorated. But I didn’t find the paper. At 8:30 I was told come back at 1-00.  I went back  2:30 and I was told manana.  Now I have learned that manana does not necessarily mean tomorrow, it just simply means not today.

As I write this it is just a little after midnight I’m sitting on the balcony listening to music coming from about 3 different bars. The temperature is in the high 70’s right now and a little humid.  There is a possibility of more thunder storms tomorrow, should be interesting. The music so far it is pleasant as they are not real loud. One of them will play until 6 am, and sometimes. Signing off KO

I'm a traveler, not as frequently as I would like , but I plan on doing more. After working full time at Mount Rainier National Park during the summer of 22 I have decided to retire completely and forever. Prior to that I was semi retired as a Wedding Officiant I officiated at about 20 weddings a season, and with my small delivery service I handled the distribution of a local high-quality Home and Garden magazine . Prior to my "semi retirement" I was in corrections and before that I owned and operated a bail bond agency. I now plan to travel to new places and exciting places, getting ready to do that as a solo as the Senior is no longer with me, his choice, and I am OK with that. For hobbies I'm a reader and love my kindle. And I enjoy writing. View all posts by zihuathyme
