Return to Zihuatanego

We are in Zihua, same apartment as last year-no AC, no hot water. But no complaints for $350/month. F met with his teacher, Yadira, briefly and we have eaten with Adolpho's family. Adolpho is our apartment manager. Just taking it easy so far. Ate supper on beach last night and watched the sunset. Beach drive from Puerta Villarto to Zihua was gorgeous but totally winding. F starts classes tomorrow. Cloud was pretty unerved by all the noise from the street but has calmed down. He goes with us most places and seems to enjoy everything so far. He still attracts a lot of attention on the street. Last night was Carnival with parade, floats, everyone on costumes. We don't know why except maybe something for Lent. F has gone to church but my stomach is not cooperating so Cloud and I am stuck in apartment.
