03/03/2005 - A visit from Pelo Verde (green hair), Zihuatanejo, Mexico

Hello friends and family. Our momentum is gaining speed for our trek south after a nice long stay in Zihuatanejo. We have just a few more supplies to get before we head out of Mexico. Our last visitor was Ian who on a whim of an idea come down for some R&R. We sailed up to an island just north of here called "Ilsa Grande". The rest of the time we just hung out in town and shopped at the local mercado (the open market place for almost anything you need).
