Zih Day Five: Mexican Fiesta

Wednesday, March 30
Here's the view of our hotel from the beach.

In an earlier post I promised a photo of the scary guns that all the cops in Zih carried. Don't mess with those guys.

We went to a "Mexican Fiesta" at a big hotel in Ixtapa. It was half dinner half show. The food was OK, but the churros were made up close and personal and were great.

A very odd mascot man came out to do a dance. He was semi-scary.

The cutest moment of the night belonged to this little guy.

Zih Day Three: Chill Day

Monday, March 28
Onward with the Zih trip. The third day was much more laid back than the first two. There was a parrot at the hotel named Corola.

We got our ping-pong on. I showed no mercy to my wife, beating her 2 games out of 3. She was way better than I thought she'd be though.

Funny money.

I like foreign Hollywood posters.

The movie theater, we thought it could be fun to experience a movie at this theater, but decided it wasn't worth it since we wouldn't understand it.

I didn't fit very well in the market.

We bought a tray from this guy who claimed he painted it...though I tend not to trust him since most of the vendors sold very similar art on their trays too.

Alli wanted to take a kitten home.

Selling fish.

The police were scary looking, this is one of their bases. I will put up another photo of the scary guns every policeman carried another day.

The maid would put flowers on our bed everyday in different designs. Today we got a fish.

Every single restaurant was anxious to sell beers.

This guy was really talented and played music that sounded identical to the Nacho Libre soundtrack (which I highly recommend to anyone who does not own it).
