We are in the middle of a five day shutdown here in Mexico, and escaping to the beach seems the best place to be right now, where there is only a partial closure. This shot was taken at quiet and tranquil Pie de la Cuesta, not far fom Acapulco, but with schools closing for ten days, and British Council workers being sent home to the UK, I am now up at Puerto Vallata, a larger, much more well known beach resort. Here it is much quieter than usual, but there are no face masks in sight, and most places are open until midnight, unlike my home Mexico City where there is currently a total shutdown. We are now awaiting instructions from the Mexican Government on Tuesday, to see if the schools will reopen and we can go back to work, and back to some kind of normality. In the meantime bars here are offering a free Swine flu shot with every drink or meal purchased... ( which is a tequila shot of course...)For more details on how the country and city have been affected, please check out the last two posts, and for more shadow shots around the world, please click here for Hey Harriet

Sorry you are having so much trouble down there. I think a few shots of tequilla might just be the thing for swine flu. Beautiful shadow picture and glad you are able to enjoy your days off. Thanks for sharing and take care!

Hi Catherine,
Oh I finally found your blog (you never wrote the url on my site)... lol. I hope the flu gets in control soon, its been very alarming indeed and the beach seems to be a perfect getaway!
cheers, Priyank
hey, nice shadow shot! the place looks nice and inviting. Take care, and stay safe.
you did the right thing!! smart thinking. Also, in my highly medical opinion, tequila is the best preventative action you can take when it comes to any kind of influenza. Have fun!
