Al to Mar Restaurant Grand Opening

Friends of ours, Randy and Marie, invited us to join them in the grand opening celebration of a new restaurant in our area.

                                        Great friendships!

                                         Great food!

                                       And a great band!


 

 

Letty's Restaurant

 We took our visiting friends to a restaurant in the Dario Galeana area, right around the corner from our place. The Letty's Restaurant is known for its delicious seafood.

New Drinking Hole and Restaurant

 We discovered a great little restaurant in the Dario Galeana district. The owners were very friendly and accommodating. Their food was delicious and the beer was cold.






Ruins

 Xihuacan is a Mesoamerican archeological site near the small town of La Soledad de Maciel that is about a 40 minute drive from Zihuatanejo. Formal digs have only recently begun unearthing discoveries that include the King of Chole stele and ball court rings. The site has been occupied for over 3,000 years by three cultures including the Teotihuacan and Olmec.

 If you decide to visit Xihuacan you will discover there are two sites, a museum, which we didn't visit, and a small demonstration from a man in a warrior outfit.

Over the many years of our travels, we have visited many ruins. Prior to visiting this site, I was expecting a mound of rubble, so I was impressed with the small excavation of Xihuacan. It was quite a delightful trip!

Kayaking at the Lagoon

A group of us motored south to the small town of Barra de Potosi for a kayaking morning in the lagoon. It's always calm, serene, and relaxing, and I never tire of this experience.
