Another Zihuatanejo Day

The bus to Zihua transported me alone this morning because Carol was not feeling up to another day of major walks in the sun. I had an appointment with the coordinator to visit a young man in a detox center. Instead of meeting him though, we received the report he was in the hospital. We went there to see if we could find him but we couldn't. A large crowd was waiting there for medical attention and for some reason nearly all of them were women.

I did go with Jim, the coordinator, to study with a young man he is helping named Johnny. Johnny has been married for a short time, his wife is halfway through a pregnancy, and Johnny wants to study the Bible to learn what it says about how to be a good husband and father. It would be hard not to like Johnny. It was inconvenient to enter his home so we studied in a nearby park, on benches, in the shade.

I did not get a photo of Johnny but here are other souls I met today ...

A goat going baaaa-baaaa.

A parrot going nowhere.

And speaking of going nowhere, I happened upon these steps (shown below) leading to a solid wall. My past experience and ongoing interest in architectural design receives an undeniable stab of wonderment when beholding this kind of architectural innovation.

 Somebody invested time and money making steps to nowhere.

I wondered, 'What if I took a run at it?'

This evening we had Ralph and Pam Miller over for supper. They've been visiting here regularly for years. It was pleasant and interesting to get to know them better.
