| Craig & Betty Ann |
|
| Betty Ann and I spent the week of February 11 in Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo for a little fun, shopping, relaxation, and some work. The work could easily be listed in the fun category however. Betty Ann was reporting and I was photographing the Niños Adelante awards ceremony for Impacto Latino, a Sonoma Valley magazine in California. Several Sonomans were instrumental in the program and we featured them in the article.
As you'll see, I took many more pictures than we needed for the article. I wanted to show Zihuatanejo the town, rather than as two tourists documenting their vacation. We begin with La Ropa, everybody's favorite beach, then to Zehuatenejo in general; shopping, fishing, restaurants, a sunset booze-cruise, the Mexican resort where we stayed, and other places you can stay. I hope you enjoy the website.

| Playa La Ropa |
|
|
|
 |
| Hmmm ....shop or eat? Why not both? |
|
|
We didn’t spend much time on La Ropa. We preferred the activity around town and on the Playa Municipal. I could have parked myself at any restaurant, ordered a cerveza and tapas, and spent the day completely entertained. What a great place this is! |

|
 |
| An easy stroll to town. |

 |
| Great comidas and inexpensive. Well cooked is safest.. |
|
|
| We stayed in Ixtapa and took the bus, or collectivo, to Zihua by day. The fare is 6 pesos, about 60 cents. We took the cab home after dark, 50 pesos, about $5.00. While travel guides say tipping is not expected, I can’t get out of a cab without tipping. I tip a 10 peso coin. |
|
|
 |
| Musicians will hop on the bus and play a song or two, then ask for tips. |
|
|
|
|
 |
| If the music is good, I'll tip from 2 to 5 pesos. If not ...well, follow the lead of the locals on the bus. |

|
 |
| How much will he tip? |
