Zihuatanejo

Zee-wah-tan-ay-ho is best known as "paradise" in Shawshank Redemption; the place where you see Morgan Freeman walking toward Tim Robbins at the end of the movie, and as Helga blurted when I told her where we were, "they smile and you just know everything is going to be all right!"

We stayed in nearby Playa Larga, where our piece of beach resembled a Corona ad.
