I've included this shot because some time last year, the Dolphin Restaurant and the Public Restrooms, fell into the ocean and floated for quite awhile. There were three workers on the Wharf when it collapsed. All were rescued, but the restaurant and restrooms with a small Caterpillar floated for a real long time. You Tube it.

Then they bring them back to the beach and display them. Look closely, you very well may be eating one of these guys for dinner.

Given that it is Christmas week, national tourists come from all over Mexico to party at the beach. Many from as far away as Queretaro, Guanajuato and CDMX.

The old town clock connected to the church. It's been 9:30 all day long every year for the last ten years. You know what they say about clocks, yep, it's right twice a day

I showed this picture yesterday, but now here it is in all it's lit-up glory. This is right on the beach. Not sure of the significance of the table and chairs. I guess Jesus or Santa can sit down and have a quick bite on a busy Christmas Eve.

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

People walking along the Malecon, which eskrunchy wouldn't have experienced in the 80's because it was a dirt path. Now it has wonderful little pavers and nice lights.

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.

Looking back at Zihua. In the top middle on the left is a red building, it's a Worldmark timeshare and that's how we discovered Zihua.

There are some dangers in Mexican real estate. These condos, Sotavento, have been being built for 20 years. The original investors have probably died by now. I don't know if it will ever be finished.

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.

There are some downsides of progress, this green fencing wasn't here last year, there was chain linked fence with great views, like you a can see in the next picture. Now you can't see the bay at all. I don't know why this has happened, maybe they are building something, or the people in the condos right below this fence didn't want looky loos.

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.

Off the main road you can take this shortcut to the beach. It's pretty steep and lined with luxury condos.
