My kids sent these lovely photos from Zihuatanejo (pronounced zeewha-tan-ay-hoe” and often shortened to “Zihua”) Mexico.
The once sleepy fishing village was made famous in “The Shawshank Redemption,” when the Tim Robbins' character Andy Dufresne escapes prison and heads straight to his dream paradise, Zihuatanejo. Because of the movie this small town is now a tourist destination.
This vantage point, with a wonderful view of the protected waters of Bahía de Zihuatanejo includes a cross with a legend. It seems that long ago a family drove off a cliff on their way down to the beach and they were miraculously saved. They had this cross built as an offering to celebrate their good fortune.
The color of the steps changes dramatically from pink to terra cotta as the sun gets lower in the sky.
And I thought a good way to conclude this series of photos was with a shadow!
We hope you enjoyed these photos!
