So here we are.... expanding on and dreaming about the theme of Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo and travel in Mexico... but it seems there's always room - almost a dire need - for something different in any theme, and that's where this section comes in.

Take a break from looking for that perfect vacation rental, searching through lists of restaurants and eateries for the ideal taco, and scouring websites for a glimmer of an idea of how to make a place like Mexico your home instead of those rainy and winter-laden streets of whatever city up north you come from!

Let your mind go (it's probably half gone as it is, anyway) and wander through some thought provoking, mind boggling and often just plain old screwy websites we've stumbled upon ourselves in our web-wanderings and enjoy some extra and unusual information that has no relationship to anything else on this site, or if you want a break and don't really want to stop thinking entirely, try some of our cryptic crosswords!
