The Return to Paradise...

Daniel, Gerry and I returned to Zihuatanejo March 4th, 2005. The three of us travel together frequently and despite the jokes about 'third wheels' and "who is the husband?" it works for us. Gerry and I have been good friends with Daniel for about 12 years so when several years ago he suddenly and sadly became a widower it seemed a natural transition to include him when we ventured off on a new journey. A year ago we discovered Zih with Daniel so it was a given that he was with us for our return.

If last year "had me at Hola" then this year in Zih was the honeymoon. Like a newlywed my relationship with Zih became more grounded in reality. Wonderful details I hadn't noticed before stood out this visit as did the ragged and unflattering sides of Zih.

But, yes, I found myself loving Zih even more...
