Serene Sunset
The golden glow of the setting sun highlights the many sail boats in Zihuatanejo Bay. Thus week is Zihua Sailfest, where the boats come once a year and offer sail and music cruises for donations to local schools. Last night was the Sail Parade to Ixtapa and back, this week Music and Sunset cruises.
All proceeds go to the schools and they hope to beat last years $7,000 donation.
