Signs Of Summer

Even if one doesn't know Spanish it is pretty obvious what this shop sells when it is open. Soon the hordes will be descending upon Zihuatanejo and Ixtapa, which lies 10km to the north of us and is very popular with Mexican tourists, for their summer vacations. They will devour nieves and paletas (popsicles) by the thousands as they wander our ever more crowded streets. I'm happy for the merchants, but dread having to go about everyday living with so many unfamiliar folks in the way. The price of living in a tourist town.
