Abril

April 1, 2015October 17, 2017Manzanillo Sun Writer

By Kirby Vickery from the April 2015 Edition The month of April finds us looking forward to the springing of spring in most geographic areas. For example in Arizona they have already had their ‘springing’ and would like the seasonal changes to stop right where they are. Their next step into spring will be summer for the […]

Beach Evolution and ´Swell´

April 1, 2015January 11, 2018Suzanne A. Marshall

By Suzanne A. Marshall from the April 2015 Edition It’s been the subject of many conversations over the winters here in Manzanillo: “Did you see that surf today?” “It seems the beach has suddenly gone from smooth mounds of deep sand, to cliff like structures!” “It’s been clear and sunny for days; why are these enormous waves […]

It’s All So Fishy!

March 1, 2015January 11, 2018Suzanne A. Marshall

By Suzanne A. Marshall from the March 2015 Edition This is our eighth winter along the shores of Playa Azul (or Playa Salahua) in Manzanillo and I haven’t tired of sitting on our ocean view terrace. Somehow it’s always different though consistently the same. I know that probably doesn’t make sense but the changes are usually subtle […]

Good Intentions

February 1, 2015January 11, 2018Suzanne A. Marshall

By Suzanne A. Marshall from the February 2015 Edition Most of us relate to silly moments in life that we’d like to take back. This is largely because in retrospect you can see it all so clearly and wonder ‘what was I thinking’. It’s Christmas time (Navidad) on the beaches of Manzanillo. New Year’s Eve is […]

Double Trouble

February 1, 2015January 11, 2018Suzanne A. Marshall

By Suzanne A. Marshall from the February 2015 Edition No, I’m not referring to a local problem or an incident of any sort. In fact I’m writing about one of the most delightful evenings I have ever enjoyed in Manzanillo. Thanks to the kindness of friends, my husband and I were invited to enjoy a birthday […]

Where Fantasy Becomes Reality

January 4, 2015January 11, 2018Manzanillo Sun Writer

By Manzanillo Sun Writer from the January 2015 Edition My wife, Linda, and I have vacationed in Mexico in many places, but ten years ago we discovered the Manzanillo area. After renting a condo for six years at the Vida del Mar development four years ago we bought our own place there. After the purchase, we […]

A Journey to San Miguel de Allende

January 1, 2015January 11, 2018Manzanillo Sun Writer

By Manzanillo Sun Writer from the January 2015 Edition Entering the state of Guanajuato came as a quiet reprieve after 7-8 hours of driving the Mexican freeways from Manzanillo. These roads are remarkably good with four lanes most of the way but there are also a lot of improvements going on which can back up traffic […]

Travel 2

January 1, 2015January 11, 2018Manzanillo Sun Writer

By Manzanillo Sun Writer from the January 2015 Edition As I mentioned in Part 1, the last couple of years I’ve spent a lot of time traveling. Flying but also on the buses in Mexico. Most of my bus travel is to Puerto Vallarta or Guadalajara to get the best airline ticket price. Last time we […]

Considering a Trip to San Miguel de Allende?

January 1, 2015January 11, 2018Suzanne A. Marshall

By Suzanne A. Marshall from the January 2015 Edition My husband and I were quite happy to put our new ‘semi-nuevo’ car on the highway for its first long distance trial. All went well and we enjoyed having friends travelling in tandem with us as an extra bit of safety should we encounter engine trouble or […]

It’s All So Good!

December 1, 2014January 12, 2018Suzanne A. Marshall

By Suzanne A. Marshall from the December 2014 Edition This is a kind of retrospective about some of my personal experiences living in Manzanillo. It’s been seven years since we stumbled upon our little beach front condo having no concept of whether we’d made a wise choice or not. We knew we loved the area and the people, we’d […]
