Awww Monday November 30, 2020
We have been coming to Zihuatenejo, Mexico for well over 20 years. We would usually stay for 2-3 weeks. Unfortunately we had to cancel this years trip because of the Covid pandemic. Two of our good friends did go and this is what they saw happen on last Thursday November 26, 2020. One of our friends sent me the photo plus his notes from observing this event. We hope the crocodile is okay. You can click on my links HERE and HERE and HERE to see my 2018, 2016 and 2014 blog posts with photos of the Zihuatenejo crocodiles and other reptiles plus lots of birds!
A Blue Flag lady and a kayaker were keeping an eye on it. The kayaker would spot the croc, race toward it while banging his oar on the kayak, presumably to get it to move along. Yup, the croc emptied the bay of swimmers.
Croc kept enjoying a swim around the north end of the beach.
At approximately 12:30, a group of beach vendors and one tourist wrestled the croc into a net near the rocks below the EMBARC.
No idea if it was taken for croc steak or rehoused. "
"Croc was taken to one of the Ixtapa lagoons for further instruction on beach compliance and access rules."P.S. Just got another email from our friends:
So all is well!

These two cats are siblings...
I think the kitty below is older by a few years.
Needless to say they do work the guests
looking for handouts! I brought some
packets of "kitty treats" to share!

Awww Monday November 7, 2016
I had this post already to go, but came down with
a nasty cold late the night before. I woke yesterday early morning feeling even worse. So the hotel
called the doctor who takes care of visiting travelers
and after he came to my room, checked me out for BP.
temp, respiration, listened to my lungs etc, he prescribed some meds that the pharmacy delivered and I am now almost 100%.
We should be so lucky to have this sort of care
at home! He even used his smart phone to translate his comments to me and to make sure I understood him
completely. I did understand his Spanish- but was impressed
with him and the care I received. The cost? $50 for his visit
and less than $50 for all the meds!

The women who fluff and buff our rooms also
create fanciful towel arrangements!
Very fun to see what they make each day!
A basket of flowers...
An elephant...
A monkey...
A mermaid...
Not sure exactly what this is...
and a turtle...!

It's raining in Zihuatanejo!
Here's Bob and Judy with an unusual accessory...
an umbrella? We have never had rain before-
but it is rather refreshing!
Judy with Lola, her favorite Catalina cat.....
This morning's sunrise- I suspect the weather will be drier today.

Another hard day on Playa la Ropa.....
Samuel the "Boss" of the Catalina Beach Bar
Really nice man- and a great sense of humor.
Roberto- a good friend and a man who never
runs out of hilarious stories!
My first little drawing of the season.
This one I gave to Samuel!
It complements the one I gave him last year.
It's been a bit rainy this year
Not that it stops us from having fun!
