Playa La Ropa Beach Parachute Ride

During all my days on the beach there were a constant stream of people taking parachute rides over the beach. I of course wanted to do it and bring my camera, but I saved it for my last day so that in the event of a camera destroying water landing that at least it would be at the end of my trip! But everything went fine . . . here are the photos.

Mexican Randomness

I spotted this busty lady on the second floor of an abandoned building right on the main tourist drag in Zihuatanejo.

Four Wheeling Adventure to Playa Manzanillo

Yesterday I went on an offroad adventure with a friend I met at Christmas dinner. We took his Jeep up and over the hill to a remote little beach called Playa Manzanillo.  We made a wrong turn and wound up on the roads of some new luxury real estate lots they are developing.  Great views though!  This shot is facing the south and Playa Larga.

Eventually, we got back on the right track and dropped into Playa Manzanillo, which is a tiny little coral sand beach with great snorkeling.

Walking in and out of the coral on the beach are lot of little crabs of all different sizes. These guys are so funny! When they see you they pull up tight into the shells and hide out. Then the first thing that pokes out are just the two eyes to see if the coast is clear, before resuming their little crab walk.

Simple

Happy New Years!
