2017 - Mexico - Zihuatanejo - Wedding Day Blues

Matrimonial Mayhem ?

 

At 06:30 I walk Playa la Ropa for an hour. The beach is about 1.5 Km long with ramp access at the south end. When I arrived at the beach in front of Hotel Catalina this morning both of the vehicle occupants were sacked out on the sand.

 

They drove their Jeep down the beach and when they arrived in front of the Catalina, there is a volcanic rock outcropping that prevents any further travel north. Looks like they drove into the soft sand trying to turn around and got stuck - oops! The 4-wheel drive just sucked the Jeep in deeper.

 

At 07:30 I went for the camera. On return the female was astir.

 

Shortly after the authorities arrived and roused the male. Lots of discussion - probably about cost to liberate the Liberty and how much of a fine would be levied. New wife did NOT look amused.

 

When I returned to the beach at 09:00 for a morning swim, it was all over - Jeep Liberty was liberated.

 

The story circulating was the newlyweds were from Morelia, Michoacan, about a 4.5 hour drive inland and were in Zihuatanejo for their honeymoon. Not off to a great start maybe.
