La Lluvia, El Sol y Zih Paraíso

Tormenta Tropical Cristina is passing by our coast at the moment, nevertheless, it's just another hot and sunny day perfect for the beach in Zihuatanejo. It is not expected to impact our coast in any major way, though we may get some rain and waves.

Apparently our mayor Jorge Sánchez tested positive for Covid-19. We hope with all our hearts that he recovers fully and does not suffer any lasting effects.

The rain last evening brought the temps way down. I couldn't help but go stand on my rooftop under the light rain and thrive in the sensation.

When we walked to the pier this morning we were alarmed at the number of people drinking or passed out drunk at the zócalo. Any police presence would be helpful. We were also alarmed to see the cart selling bolillos and barbacoa in front of the fishermen's area, causing its usual bottleneck in pedestrian traffic while people stand around eating and wheezing on all the passers-by. An incredible health risk in more ways than one. I urge folks not to patronize this business. It should not be there and I question its legality. If you want barbacoa and bolillos the place to go is the Mercado Municipal or down by the pier where for decades two or three vendors have offered their delicious meals-to-go intended for fishermen. They block no walkways and they practice excellent hygiene.

The fishermen's area in the late afternoon.

I was so thrilled to be able to casually stroll the pier again that I had to take this photo and post it here even though the lighting was terrible.
