The images presented were taken in the 1990's. Taken as prints, there is degradation when going from print to digital images. Also, where we were traveling sometimes delayed processing for weeks or months and humidity played havoc with the undeveloped film. Still, I wanted to share our experiences through the pictures we took.

January to March 1991. Back on the mainland, we spent from January 1991 to March 1991 hopping down the west coast revisiting places we had visited almost a year ago until we were back in Zihuatenajo. Our entry into the harbor was not nearly as dramatic and our entry last year. We were glad about that. Several changes had taken place in the last year. The street vendors and the women and the young children who walked the streets selling Chicklets gum, little money banks, and painted wooden fish last year were gone.  March 1991. Zihuatenajo's business center. Lots of shops  March 1991. Zihuatenajo's main boulevard that runs along the harbor. A large market area had opened and we heard that the street vendors had been relegated to that area. From the look of it, rent was probably involved. Marinas were also scheduled to be built. One in Zihuatenajo harbor and one in Ixtapa. They were built and are successful businesses today. We spent nearly the whole month of March 1991 in Zihuatenajo. We spent the time on boat projects, socializing with friends, exchanging sailing information with others, going over charts and cruising guides, and just enjoying Zijuatenajo. This small coastal fishing village of last year is growing and even then we could see that it would change dramatically as time passed and as people discovered its charm and beauty. We both know that we would not recognize any of it if we were to return today.
