Always something going on in Sunny Zihuatanejo

You would think following the busy holidays things would slow down, but not so much here. There are always fun things to do in Zihuatanejo.

Three Kings Day was celebrated with friend Judi bringing a Rosca de Reys, which we respectfully referred to as the “baby cake” to share with some friends. It is the traditional pastry of 3 Kings day and whom ever gets the piece with a baby baked in it serves tamales to the group on Candlemas/Candlario which is Feb 2nd.

Our cake had three babies in it so those 3 folks are bringing the tamales for a tamale party on Feb 2. January 7 found me taking down my Christmas lights, I was so glad to bring down the blinky lights. When a holiday is over I am so done with it. By choice I’d take them down on December 26, but I respect their traditions here and leave them up through Jan 6.

Then it was on to our Saturday night dinner out group where we like to try a variety of restaurants, this time it was at Agave.

I had a lovely wine and tapas get together at La Tasca to catch up with a long time friend and then visit to the open mic at Miguels

But the spectacular event was the first of the seasons Sailfest house parties to raise funds for Sailfest. Sailfest is now a two week long celebration to raise funds to build schools for the most needy children in Zihuatanejo. This dinner event was held at the personal residence of one of the main supporters of Mexican children’s education. It was a sit down dinner for approximately 117 people held on the patio of their home over looking a lovely lagoon.

The dinner was excellent and the evening was complete with dancing on a lighted dance floor with music provided by Vertical.

My Creative Writters group met the past week at a Tanino Wine shop where we did some writing, met new friends and sampled the wine. Always an enjoyable time.

Seldom a dull moment and certainly no dull people in lovely, sunny, warm Zihuatanejo. Signing off KO
