This is a utility box, that has been decorated, looks a lot better than a big GE logo.

Ok, not a mural, but what self respecting town doesn't have some tribute to Benito Juarez, former president of Mexico.

Zihua changes, I didn't get the whole picture here, but this was a simple dirt pathway, a wide pathway, from a street to the beach. A number of years ago it was re-done and concrete benches were added and shrubbery and murals. It's now a beautiful walkway.

A giant tree on the Malecon, I'm snapping this picture after dragging my way home from the bar, but earlier there was a big line of people waiting to take their picture in the wreath

This used to be a gravel kind of dirt road down to the beach. Now it's nicely tiled and leads to the new Malecon.

This is a daytime shot of Kyoto Plaza. I don't know the history of the Japanese arch which is always here, but the rest of the plaza gets decorated for different occasions.

Here are stacks of them at the big Sorianna that we shop at, more on that later. I'm not sure what happens tomorrow? I'm guessing big mark downs.

There are a number of murals of abuelas (grandmas) on Adelita street. These two senoras are most likely actually women who lived here, historical or not. The shade has cost a line across their fore heads.

Whales and sea life are very popular themes for murals here because of it's connection to the ocean.

About 5 years ago, the new mayor or someone came up with the theme, Zihua, cuidad de todos. The city for everyone. So there have been a lot of changes that I will talk about in another post.

This is a hill on the far south side of La Ropa and I believe this is where you are going to see a lot of building in the future. In fact in the middle of the picture is a new 6 level building under construction.
