Serenaded

08 April 2012 | Ixtapa
Vivien
We went to Ixtapa, five miles from Zihuatenjo to refuel and get water. Shortly upon our arrival, a neighbor gave us a kilo of freshly caught tuna so we had Sushi for dinner. The full moon came up over the horizon and we saw a bonfire in the distance and heard some lovely music. Following our senses, we were serenaded by a 15 piece mariachi band who were just jamming spontaneously on the beach. We took a photo with the "band" and they really hammed it up. There was some excitement this morning as we watched a para sailor slowly fall from the sky into the water. The boat pulling it apparently lost power and the two people in the sky with a parachute descended into the water. Instead of the resurrection on Easter Day they had the opposite experience. We haven't seen any more tourists going up today. I might be pessimistic, but I think that would be bad for "business". Easter is a big deal here so there are thousands of people on the beaches with tents and umbrellas swimming in their clothes with huge smiles on their faces.
