The answer that lingered in the shadows is revealed.

Caleta Cove Answers the Mystery of Why I lived in Mexico for Five Years Instead of Seattle, Washington.

I learned the art of bow and arrow lagoon fishing from the family that lived on the edge of the lagoon in Acapulco.

I met many a character in Mexico but this retired NYPD cop sticks out in my mind because of how he beat the odds year after year to me and my father’s amazement!

Being a Hero comes at a cost at the famous Pie de La Cuesta beach in Acapulco!

I become friends with an usual Mexican family and discover a secret!

I take the newlyweds to see the infamous cliff divers of Acapulco only to discover tragedy in their marriage while still in its infancy.

The late night murderous attack on my father while we slept peacefully in our beds produced a familiar intuitive understanding that I had experienced two years before when I tragically lost my mother.

The nightly violence continues as I struggle to understand who exactly would do this to us and why?

Forty years after a bloody night in Zihuatanejo I discovered the truth behind the violence

The chronology of my many years spent living in Mexico. Being a young American boy and living with my unconventional father proved to be an adventure of a lifetime. In Zihuatanejo a Tropical Paradise with all its beauty and wonder held a secret few Gringos knew. Beautiful beaches and palm trees helped to disguise the violent dangerous underbelly of this small fishing village in southern mainland Mexico.

A mere sampling of the many adventures that lay ahead!

Our first night in Zihuatanejo. This evening turns out to be a competition with the Hotel owner and my father for the most beautiful woman in all of Mexico.

My first days in Zihuatanejo Public Mexican School; being the only Gringo proves challenging but then I fall in love with the most beautiful girl in this small remote fishing village and things get really interesting.

A strange turn of events leads to the murder of the best friend of the Captain of the Port.

My Water Taxi business causes a ruckus in town and at our house in a major way.

Every day in Zihuatanejo was a blank page waiting to be written!

After Many Trials and Tribulations I am finally accepted at the Mexican Public School in Zihuatanejo.

A ten year old American boy I spend the night alone with a group of terrorists/guerrillas deep in the remote jungles of Guerrero and live to tell the story.

Desperate times call for desperate measures so I hatch plan that threatens to kill me!
