We are back for a second year in Casa Azul, this time in
the ground floor apartment, on La Madera Beach, Zihuatanejo. No matter how many
times you return to the same familiar place, it presents a new side to
discover. This year it was the fund raising events, mostly instigated by the
Gringos who love returning to Zihautanejo. This year we were fortunate enough to
be there to take part in several events.
The first was a street dance to buy a new defibrillator for the Red Cross
volunteer medics. It was held just a block down from our apartment on Calle
(street) Lopez Mateus, above La Madera Beach. We invited our friends, the
Andrews, Suzanne and David, and Barry Mair and Sheila Macdonald, to join us. The
others the same time in Zihuatanejo as Ray and I and were sharing a condo at the
end of La Ropa Beach. We all met to grab a table and enjoy the evening. There
were two bands of retiree-aged gringos entertaining the capacity crowd. We
danced to the music that reminded us of our youth and enjoyed a special
presentation by four young children and their teacher performing traditional
Mexican dances.
Sailfest week has become a popular annual event. A
weeklong series of festivities fund building construction and maintenance, plus
special programs in a local school. Wednesday evening was held in a local
restaurant. Again, very good gringo bands provided the entertainment for a
capacity crowd who danced it up to more favourites from the 60s and 70s. It was
a fun evening. Ray and I missed the chili cook-off lunch, but reports from the
Andrews, Sheila and Barry, make it a must for another year. Next time I am also
going to sign up to sail aboard one of the many boats in the harbour for a
cruise in the bay.
We said our farewells at another good restaurant, Mito’s, in the middle of
Zihuatanejo town. We expect to have several other experiences to share with them
when Ray and I travel to San Miguel de Allende at the end of February.
