Saladita

 Our gang of friends piled into three vehicles and drove 30 minutes north to a sleepy, little, long board surfing village called Saladita for lunch. Such a beautiful area!

Lynn's Birthday

 Claude surprised Lynn with a surprise birthday party at Ixtapa Island. We took two pangas (small fishing boats) out to the island and got to see some whale action on the way there. We had a glorious day!

                                    Emanuel, the reason why pickleball is so huge in Zihua!

Emanuel and his wife Ana hosted a party for all players and volunteer's at the end of the tourney at their home. Last year they built 6 courts which also include a full kitchen, fancy coffee machine for morning players, and full bar with bartender, Luis, for evening players. And, after all your play, if you need a shower, that is also available!

                                          And of course there was table dancing!

                The party raged on until 2am with pickleball play, music, and dancing.
