Jonathan, Zihuatanejo
My first stop after heading south into the state of Guerrero was the large and nice city of Zihuatanejo. Surrounding a large bay Zihuatanejo covers the hillsides and focuses itself in a dense beach-side downtown area that is full of shops, restaurants and tourists. Many of the tourists were gringos and came on the cruise ships that frequent the bay. I stealth camped in the harbor parking lot that is ideally situated in the downtown area. It seemed a safe place to stay with it’s 24hr. security guards and the naval facilities adjoining it. The people of Zihuatanejo were very friendly including the policeman name Hector who visited me for siesta one day. Hector played some tunes (on my new guitar) and was very patient with my terrible Spanish.
