Empiezan Las VacaZIHones

The first bus passed by our home at 5:24am this morning. We didn't see them on the beach when we were out there, but still, what are they going to do when it's still totally dark and many of them have never seen the ocean before???

HOWEVER there are few things more enlightening/enlifting than watching someone, be it a child or adult, seeing the ocean for the first time. It makes people realize what the world is about.

We won't be out there in the dark manana, one of our dogs had a fall during play and landed hard on her hip. Another day of rest for her no matter what she says at 5:30.

We will swim and do our thing a bit later and pamper her!

As of today Zihuatanejo has registered a cumulative total of 1,572 confirmed cases of Covid-19 (14 more than yesterday), 124 that have resulted in fatalities, 16 that are currently active, and approximately 1,327 that have recovered. Oops.

The tourists are beginning to arrive in earnest. Lots of bus-riding day trippers, but also families in cars are arriving and will continue doing so for the next couple of weeks which are usually our busiest of the year. Keeping fingers crossed we get through this safely. I saw a lot of visitors wearing facemasks as they filed by going to and from Las Gatas. Restaurant workers and lancheros need to be extra careful now.

The weather couldn't be more perfect. Almost don't even need any fans with the cool evening air and breezes from the sierra. Lucky us!

This is one of the few statues that isn't uprooted and collecting dust in the museum. I worry for them all because none are receiving proper maintenance as they used to, especially this one sitting amid the ocean surf.

Seems slightly fishy.
Days cruse by with 0 or 1 case. Then a big number gets reported......been going on for a few weeks.
