Hotel Imelda Zihuatanejo

... back save and sound! She looks just like our good old girl. We drive to the place we are supposed to stay at with Jason’s parents, who were gonna arrive after 5 days, but the place on the beach is rented out! The owner didn’t seem to think that just the two of us should take up any of the reservation Jason’s parents had made, so we decided to leave rather than having huge discussions. We went down the beach, La Saladita, where we spent the very first days last ...

... two so we have been back and forth several times.

We have found a nice little hotel that only has four rooms, called La Casa del Suenos. We are in the largest room with a kitchenette, tv, hot water (which we never use now), a/c, the works for just 4500 pesos for the month. Mostly we spend our time in the market shopping for veggies and fresh bread to bring home or having lunch at our regular lunch counter for a couple of bucks each. The food in the market is terrific. Better ...

... was frustration for both me and them, but I sure had a good time.

On Sunday night, I decided I wanted to see the sun set at the beach, so I took my camera and went out to the beach alone. (Everyone else was napping) As I was standing in the sand, water flowing over my feet, waves crashing in, the sun was setting and it reminded me that God is amazing! Every little detail of the huge waves, the tides, the sun going ...

Ixtapa surprised both Christina and I as the area was like one big Resort.  Much different then the rest of Mexico, the gardens were manicured, no garbage, and decent roads. This was one of the first RV Parks we found that was in good shape offering all the amenities at a reasonable price, 140 pesos (US$10.37). We checked out the town and market, they were really set up for the American tourist. I would have to say it ...

... had a kick ass arcade for the kids. Go figure. Helen and I had a great dinner way a top the bay one night and dinner in the downtown area another night. We had this great bay access path below our hotel that gave us a thirty minute walk to town and made a great jogging path in the morning. I even gave the surf a try right in front of our hotel in the bay but was way to close to the rocks for me. This little local nut on a surf board would ride waves right into the rocks.

After our travels we decided it was time to come back to Zihuatanejo and get ready for the next adventure. You might think, what will it be, what will it be? Haaaa!!! We decided to spend some time in Germany and take some time to be serious again : - / Well, we will try to join the working world again, at least temporarily. Our time here is coming to an end, at least for now, we'll be arriving in Frankfurt at the end of March, spend two weeks with friends (you guys) and ...

... for months. But it seems it's a little different, luckily for us! The rain does hit hard, but it still leaves enough time to enjoy most of the day at the beach or whatever. I thought this is a very generous gesture of mother nature, but I was also told that this is the first year it's so hot during rainy season. So it's not mother nature being nice to us, but rather human race taking over and killing the climatic cycle. The evenings are supposed to get a little ...

... air filter at the first shop. The only problem was that the price was $100 pesos ($10 CDN). That was a bit outrageous, but we needed to have it. We would have bought more, but this was the only one in stock. At least we have the correct size and product code now. The work on 'Nilla was completed in short order and we continued on our way down Mexican Highway 200. We had been hitting Military check points along the highway however ...

... into her and her husband at a Pearl Jam concert and she asked me why I was limping? And so I told her that it was because two days before, I had my stomach and groin cut open to fix a couple of hernia´s and what really sucked was that the pain medication was not working at all! She just looked at me, laughed then looked like she was going to cry and said "You got sober and are Living your life, keep up the good work"! I told her ...
