I call Cheap Tickets and get a good price on the airfare. I call around and settle on Lisa Earls at Cosmopolitan Travel for hotel accommodations. I’ll never use her again. I was very specific about being in Zihua and NOT in Ixtapa. She gets me a room with ocean view at Sandy Village Beach Resort including transfers to and from the airport (through Apple Resorts). Maria calls me on schedule to get the location and phone number of my hotel in Zihua and agrees to call me the evening of Tuesday 2/12 at the hotel.
Tuesday night I arrive at the Zihua airport and no one is there to meet me. I arrange to take a hotel collectivo to the hotel and tell the driver the hotel will pay. As we drive to the hotel I realize we are headed to Ixtapa not Zihua. We go past all these beautiful hotels; drop one passenger off at a nice hotel and then we pull up to this plain looking older hotel. Surely this can't be where I'm staying. Sure enough, it is! I check in and the night manager insists that I wear a wrist band. When I question him about it he says every guest in the hotel must wear one and no unregistered guests are allowed. This would cramp my style if Maria doesn’t' show. I insist that I will not wear it. He snaps it on my wrist before I realize what happened. Okay, why argue I'll just take it off later and that will be the end of that. At that time I express my unhappiness that the hotel is in Ixtapa and not Zihua. He insists that Zihua and Ixtapa are one and the same. Bullshit!
I get to the room and it is like a one star hotel and not really clean. I express my dissatisfaction to the night manager and the bellboy (I use that term loosely). I figure I will make the best of it for the night and resolve matters in the morning. I have to stay there for a reasonable time for Maria to reach me. If Maria doesn’t call by Wednesday night I will move to another hotel in Zihua. I'm not going to sit around and wait for her. I tear off the wrist band and go to sleep.
Wednesday morning I'm awake early and get ready to see what there is to do. At about 9:00 AM I walk out front to find a taxi. I see an older taxi and a driver who looks like he's been around awhile. His name is Lucio, I tell him I want to go to Zihua. On the ride there he seems like my kinda guy so I tell him I want to get some breakfast. He took me to a nice cheap local place for breakfast.
We talked for a while and I was starting to feel okay about Lucio. I told him I want to look at some hotels that won't object to me bringing some women to my room and by the way where will I find some woman of easy persuasion. He takes me to a couple reasonably priced hotels in downtown Zihua. I didn't like any of them and thought maybe I would just sample a few women in the local brothels and change my flight and explore Acapulco in a couple days. Never been there.
At this point I hired Lucio for a half day for $50. Yeah I thought that was a little high but it didn't matter to me. Lucio says El Coyote (a brothel I went to about 15 years ago) closed down several years ago. He drove me past the Costa Azul (a full scale hotel/brothel, open 24 hours a day), Taurus (a strip club with extras available) and Jaguar (another strip club with extras available). Lucio said he would fuck just about anything but he thinks I would be happy with the quality at either Costa Azul or Taurus.
From there we headed out of town to this fishing village that the tourists seem to like. On the way there we talk. Lucio tells me about his family and I tell him about Maria. A half hour on a paved road through the quiet scenic country, then a half hour down a semi paved/dirt road. Sure as hell there is a little fishing village in the middle of nowhere and Gringos arriving in the back of wooden seat pick-up trucks. Ouch! Down that piece of shit road. Stupid Gringos! Anyway, we walk around for awhile and sit down and have a beer. Lucio asks me how I like the place and I say that since there isn't any pussy there I see little point in hanging around. We talk about Maria and that she may yet show up.
On the road back to Ixtapa we agree that Lucio will call me just before 10:00 tonight to see if Maria ever showed up or called. If the coast is clear he will come by and take me to Taurus.
I get back to Ixtapa, get some lunch and head to my room for some rest. It could be a long night...I hope!
It was 8:30 PM and I was just getting out of the shower when the phone rings. It's Maria, she says she has bee trying to reach me since last night and the front desk told her I wasn't registered there. I told her to come right over and come to my room. About a half hour later she calls from the lobby and they won't let her up even though she is registered for my room. I told her I would be right down to get her.
I walked off the elevator and into the lobby. There she was, what a figure! She is dressed in stretch pants and an abbreviated top and has her luggage with her. How scandalous! I give the night manager a dirty look which he returns and I take Maria by the hand to my room.
Lucio calls about then and I tell him Maria showed up and we would need him about 10:00 in the morning. He agrees.
I told her I was about to go to dinner when she called and I was very hungry. She said "Yo Tambien!" We went across the street to a nice looking outdoor restaurant and had an enjoyable (although overpriced) dinner and drinks. After that she wanted to go back to the room so I obliged.
We get to the room and she goes nymphomaniac on me. Just what a lonely boy in a different country needs. This goes on for quite a while and afterwards she finishes off the rest of my brain cells with a massage including the foot rub. I'm exhausted by this time and I slept like baby with her in my arms that night!
Thursday morning I'm awakened with tender kisses I shove a Listerine Cool Mint in my mouth and one in hers and of we go straight into a blow job and about an hour of sex. We get showered and dressed and I call the local Apple Resorts representative and tell him the brief story (e.g. this place sucks, and I wanted Zihua not Ixtapa). He was surprisingly friendly and cooperative. We agreed on a small but modern hotel on Playa la Ropa (the best beach in Zihua!) for only $125.00 extra for the remaining five days. We were in the lobby, checked out and on our way (with Lucio) in less than a half hour.
At about 11:00 A.M. we arrive at the Villa Mexicana. This is a charming little hotel right on the beach. We drop our baggage in our room and Lucio takes us into Zihua for breakfast. We spend much of the rest of the day wandering around downtown Zihua. About every half hour or so we run into someone who knows Maria. She says she needs a bathing-suit so we stop in a little shop and I buy her a cute little aqua colored bikini and matching wrap.
It really heats up in the afternoons so we head back to the room about 2:00 P.M. for a siesta. We get to the room and I turn the A/C on to cool things down. Maria strips and jumps in bed so I follow. Well now I know why Mexicans like the afternoon siesta! Maria turns into a nymphomaniac again for a very pleasurable afternoon.
That evening we went into Zihua for dinner on the bay. Very Romantic! Then returned to our Hotel for more sex and a good nights sleep.
I awaken the next morning to a very playful girl who wants more sex. Sure thing! We had breakfast at our hotel restaurant on the beach and the went for a long walk (dam, this girl loves to walk and screw!). The beach is sparsely occupied with tourists, locals and a few little beach-side restaurants here and there. We stop at this one restaurant and visit with a friend of Maria's who is one of the waiters. He is the brother of her best friend in high school. She introduces me as her fiancé. I go along with it. She heads off to the restroom and he asks me when we are getting married. I tell him I'll delay as long as possible.
By the afternoon we are ready for a siesta (the code word for afternoon sex). The rest of the trip goes pretty much the same. Sex in the morning, afternoon and night everyday. The more time we spent together the more she spoke of her dreams. She wanted us to get married and live together in Zihua in a house large enough for us, three kids and her mother. I told her that didn't sound to wonderful too me but it was a nice concept.
Saturday morning after breakfast in Zihua we walk through town and take a right turn at a corner. Half way down the block we go into a large parking lot filled with old busses. Maria says something to someone in Spanish and we get on one of the busses that leaves immediately. The bus is old inside with lace curtains hanging down inside the windshield and half obscuring the drivers view. This is apparently to shade to interior from the hot weather. On either side of the windshield are two large stereo speakers with Mexican music blasting from a CD player. I don't know where we are going, and I don't care. I'm on a Mexican bus with no tourists in sight and the music is blasting.
As we travel through town a barker hangs from the front door of the bus and periodically yells the name of our destination to people standing at bus stops. Only native Mexicans board the bus some carrying items from their shopping in Zihua (dead chickens etc.).
Once out of town we are on a two lane asphalt country road that winds through the country side up into the mountains. The drive is so crazy Maria & I are referring to him as "Senior Loco". Maria asked me if I was curious where we were going. I told her that I was enjoying the adventure so much it didn't matter and she could tell me when we got there. As the bus was careening up the road passing cars on blind turns we joked about how Senior Loco was sure to drive off one of the steep embankments on the sides of the road and kill us all. I said that the news of the bus crash would be buried on page three of the local newspaper. I said I could see the headline saying "Bus crashes 50 Mexicans & one Gringo dead". We laughed and both really enjoyed the trip.
Finally we arrive at our destination, Petatlán, somewhere in the mountains. We walk off the bus and into a small town that seems to be the center of the rural areas we have just passed through. We go up some steps into a church. Cristo de Petatlán. I feel strange walking into this very large church. Somehow I feel like and intruder. We sit in one of the rear booths and watch as one couple after another walk up to the alter and take their wedding vows. Apparently Saturday is the day when people from the neighboring areas go to the church to get married.
Well, I can take only so much of witnessing these people making commitments that are beyond my ability. We walk into the center of town, get a couple of drinks and sit in the park. This is the Mexican interior at its purest!
This place is in located in an area of gold mines and gold is cheap here. It's obvious that I should buy her a gift. So, I offer to buy her something, she refuses at first and then relents before I change my mind. We peruse the line of jewelry stands. I tell her to do the negotiating and she goes to work. I'm hearing numbers like 3000 pesos (about $330 at the time) and thinking I must be crazy. She finally settles on a gold necklace and earrings for about $125.00. I'm happy with that and she is thrilled. The bus ride back is just as crazy with the stereo blasting Santana etc..
That night we decide to sample the night life. She puts on this nasty skin tight black dress. As we are leaving the hotel a middle age gringo gives me a real dirty look as if I'm some sort of a child molesting pervert. I really enjoyed that. We took a cab into Ixtapa and it was solid Gringo and Chilangos. I was tired of it after several drinks and she was drunk. We hailed a cab and went into Zihua. We ended up at Taurus. As you walk into this place there is an elevated dressing area on the left and an elevated shower area in the rear right corner of the bar. The girls take a shower the walk nude to the dressing area. It's a great show! The strippers go totally nude. One of them sat on a beer bottle and then this drunk gringo drank from it. No thanks. For the ficha drinks the girls sit nude at your table or in your lap and if you want to finger them or suck tits that's included in the ficha. Most the girls were pretty nice with several 8s & 9s.
We were both pretty drunk by now and this perfect 10 walks past our table and I can't help but be obvious as my head turns and follows her cute little ass. As I turn back to Maria she slaps me hard. And says I'm being disrespectful to her. We finish our beers and take off. We get a cab out front and head back to the hotel. On the way there she starts looking like she is going to blow chunks in the car. I yell to the driver “Alto! Alto! Ella is inferma!” He stops and I jump out and drag her from the car. She pukes in the street and I throw her back in the car. The driver and I are laughing hysterically all the way back to the hotel. Well, no sex that night. But she made up for it in the morning.
On sixth day, our last full day, I could sense an uneasiness about Maria. That night we had dinner at our hotel restaurant on the beach. She began to cry and begged me to extend my vacation. I told her I couldn't because of my job. We walked on the beach in the sunset and made love like minks that night.
In the morning we finished packing. We would get one cab. She would go to her aunt's house and I would proceed to the airport. Then suddenly she announces that she wants 3000 pesos. I was in a state of shock. This was never about money! I changed $300.00 U.S. into pesos at the front desk, added some pesos I had and gave her the 3000 pesos. The fun's over; time to move on.
I arrived at the airport and checked in. Then I walked out front and watched all the couples arriving and departing and thought "3000 divided by about 20 love making sessions is 150 pesos per session. Plus she was good company and a tour guide! And, I'm well rid of her." Well a leopard can't change it's spots and I'm a pretty happy monger.
P.S. When I returned to Tijuana we got together again and she explained she needed the money for traveling and would never ask me for money again. And she never did. In the end I had to terminate the relationship. She was very jealous, and didn't want me to be free any more. Adios!
