Zihuatanejo Friday, May 4, 2012

Zihuatanejo is a lovely small fishing village, which seems virtually unspoiled by tourism. Today we just wandered around the villge taking pictures, soaking up the culture & of course the local cervaza, pico de gallo and taco chips. Oh - and the silver! Bryan & Linda went on a ship's tour out to the countryside, they reported back that it was a wonderful day for them!
