Supporting a friend in need is an honor.
While tonight was the fundraiser event for our beloved amiga Olgalidia Valdovinos of Mariscos Chendo's, from Jose Luis Cobo, Juanito Zihua and Rene Guzman of Los Yonics fame and many more- we will all continue to do what we can to help her and others in need, all with love.

Indeed, our amigo the artist Magdaleno is an important part of Zihuatanejo. Each of his beautiful hand-painted wood pangas are unique and have found their way to many homes around the world, bringing a colorful piece of our beloved fishing pueblo Zihuatanejo to adorn the shelves they now grace everywhere.

A perfect start to the day: Breakfast at Carmelita’s, a stop at Pequeño Gran Café for a refreshing iced tascalate to go with a cinnamon roll from Rol Coqueto for a snack, and grab a jar of La Macha salsa for later with lunch! Now that’s a foodie day trifecta! 😁

UPDATE, FRIDAY 3:00pm: All warnings and watches have been officially discontinued!!

UPDATE, THURSDAY 7:00pm: The warning has been changed to a Tropical Storm warning!!

THURSDAY 11:00am: As Hurricane John moved west overnight, we are no longer expected to take a direct hit; that is projected for further north of us in Michoacán. John is only a hurricane cat 1, and not expected to strengthen any more than that. HOWEVER- we are still under a hurricane WARNING, as even the outer rim or the tail of a cat 1 hurricane can be devastating, especially to those who live in the hills. Keep them in prayer!
And if you are new to hurricane season, remember to keep everything charged, keep plenty of drinking water on hand and use tap water sparingly.
☔️ while waiting for the 🌈!

25/09/2024

Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo is now under a HURRICANE WARNING, not a watch. John is 55 miles from us, and fully expected to return to a hurricane tonight before it hits. Even though John is only expected to be a Cat 1 by then, please exercise caution, fill up your water tanks, have emergency supplies and emergency numbers on hand. Most importantly- stay calm. This too shall pass!

Last night’s Sabor a Mar was wonderful! Many, many people, amazing seafood, fun music, an occasional breeze and a very light sprinkling of rain. While yes, we were all glistening with sweat from the humidity, it was nonetheless a wonderful evening with family and friends.

For anyone driving to the event Saturday night, take note of the limited parking. But whether you drive, walk, taxi or take public transport- enjoy this wonderful event!!

On the night of El Grito (the cry for freedom), we foodies look for a place to shout about amazing food.
When Felipe of Angustina offers a special menu, don’t walk- RUN there!
His Festival de Mole was outstanding! After tasting 5 distinct moles, choose your favorite and your preferred protein and prepare to be wowed! We chose moles costeño with short rib, and Ayomole with pork chop. Accompanied by handmade tortillas, a tlayuda, a nactamal and slightly burnt bolillos- giving that extra perfect flavor.
Viva Mexico!!

Today in Mexico, we celebrate the 176th anniversary of the Niños Héroes- the young cadets who sacrificed their lives rather than surrender.

In September, Mexico remembers and honors six young cadets who died defending their military academy in Mexico City in 1847 during the Mexican-American War.
