Zihuatanejo has now accumulated 11 people that have been infected, though I believe 9 of them are now no longer ill.
While relaxing on our azotea last night Lupita had to cover herself with a couple of towels to ward off the cool steady breeze coming from the north. My tequila kept me warm. I cannot ever recall such cool evening breezes in May. The mornings are not quite as cool as they were a couple of weeks ago, though it may be the difference of only a degree or two celsius, but when you live somewhere with such stable perfect weather even a couple of degrees is a big change for us. Eat your hearts out, snowbirds!
This odd weather has us thinking it might not rain until late June.
The Hotel Catalina is scheduled to reopen on June 11. They have some great prices available if you make your reservations before July 31.
It's hard to get used to seeing nobody on the Paseo del Pescador.

Late yesterday afternoon most of the smoke blew away for much of the evening, and the lighting was spectacular in the bay until the sun went behind the hills.

The weather really has been interesting. The ocean temp is up and down a little, the daily highs are pretty stable and the evenings/nights are up and down as is the humidity. It's dryer than normal.
The breezes have been wonderful, keeping us cool and making the smoke go away.
As much as we are really enjoying the lack of people and traffic, it's time for the world to start back up again! Summer and rainy season are really really great here, so hopefully more people will grab some great deals and come try these seasons too.

There is a breeze today in my condo in Madera that I don't believe I have ever felt before.
Th only thing I can say is
IF
I were a sailor...I'd be out sailing today
it's actually delightfully "cool-ish"- I might actually consider putting on a shirt...possibly even underwear...
...jajajajaja...

Unfortunately, you CAN'T go sailing!!! A friend of ours here was taking his sail boat out several times a week to fish and sail. Fish donated to causes. Last time out, two weeks ago, the Port Capitan completely shut him down. No boats apparently unless you are one of the fishing guys with a panga. He has tried to work something out, to no avail.

shhhhhhh...don't tell anyone...and my eyes aren't that good...and my binoculars are old...but I think I see someone in a small motorless panga...I'm tempted to call it a "rowboat"...
My great discovery today...after not noticing for almost 5 months...I have a view of my "girlfriend"...that lovely goddesss who sits out in the bay just a meter or two from the Paseo welcoming all to Zihua with a serene smile...
I used to have to walk over to say "hi"
Now I can keep my eye on her from afar...

While we yearn to travel again, I don’t think it is nearly time for the world to “start back up again.” In addition to Zihuatanejo, we have cancelled two trips to New York City, one each to upstate New York, Boston, St Louis, Hawaii and two weeks in Europe, in addition we haven’t seen our grandson who lives 35 miles away from us since mid March. At least for us to travel again there needs to be effective treatment at the very least, and preferably an effective vaccine. I imagine about two weeks from now we will see big surges in case load thanks to the folks irresponsibly celebrating the holiday.

While I appreciate your concern, in the Midwest we are getting on with our lives. Our hospitals are hurting due to a dearth of admissions. The hysteria has subsided and life is returning back to normal. Covid testing is available to all who desire it finally. Symptoms or none you can get tested here. Cases are up, hospitalizations and deaths have cratered. The mortality rate is nearing the flu numbers. Now it appears the reaction to Covid falls on political orientation unless you are elderly or have serious enderlying health conditions, it’s time for those at risk to stay safe and let the rest of us live our lives. We can’t hide in our homes forever. Herd Immunity doesn’t have to wait for a vaccine. It’s already happening naturally.

We are no where close to herd immunity. In areas that have relaxed restrictions like Wisconsin and areas in Alabama cases seem to be increasing.

OMG. I thought I was the only person left in the world who knew who John Hartford was. Have a vinyl album but no turntable.

That's too funny! I too, have a small stash, and no turntable! I wonder how many of us do?
Think the ones I kept are Arlo Guthrie - Alice's Restaurant, and Moody Blues - Caught Live Plus 5 (picked that up in Europe).
I wonder why we keep them?

I'm surprised any of you left-coasters know who he is. Bluegrass is the stuff that grew outside my front door when I was a kid and what the good ol' boys played at the fair and the Grand Ole Opry. This guy blew my mind when he freshened up bluegrass music and made it cool for young hip folks, though I'd never call John Hartford a hippie, just a hip very talented musician. I've got a bunch of his albums.

You forget that most of us left coast hipster dufuses came from back east where we knew who John Hartford was. Also too John Prine and Stevie Goodman.
