As of today, since April 18, 2020 Zihuatanejo has registered a cumulative total of 2,107 confirmed cases of Covid-19 (8 more than yesterday), 166 that have resulted in fatalities, 26 that are currently active, and approximately 1,778 that have recovered.

And JUST LIKE THAT February is *gone*.

Zihuatanejo is now under Semáforo Amarillo. Hotels, restaurants, public transport, supermarkets, shopping centers, banks, churches parks, sports fields, bars, barbers/beauty parlors, and beaches are now allowed to operate at 50% capacity. Museums, theaters and public pools are allowed to operate at 40%. I believe the hours of operation remain unchanged from before.

Today may have been a wee tad warmer than yesterday, but the cool breezes made that debatable, and they especially make the evenings comfortable for sleeping with windows open and a light fan. A/C is a waste of electricity unless essential for health or work. I found myself taking my time doing morning chores on our azotea precisely because the morning air was so comfortable. I also love how our air smells here: a freshness of the sea mixed with a light scent of wood smoke, fresh coffee brewing, and a nearby bakery. Smells that give me goosebumps and cause me to sigh with contentment.

Lots of good lodging deals to be had. Even if they aren't posted on their websites, don't hesitate to ask for a discount for longer stays.

Hard to believe this used to be basically a large mud puddle around 50 years ago.

If I can inject a wee bit of realism here....For those of us who are a little older and live in the Arctic tundra, coming down overnight to Zih's heat and humidity can hit us over the head like a bag of fallen coconuts. AC becomes almost a necessity, at least at first. It's only when we become acclimated, say two to four weeks in, that AC becomes unnecessary.

I also love how our air smells here: a freshness of the sea mixed with a light scent of wood smoke, fresh coffee brewing, and a nearby bakery. Smells that give me goosebumps and cause me to sigh with contentment.

I have to wonder if the smell of fresh cement gives you goosebumps too, perhaps of a different kind.

You don't sound like a happy person. Maybe you need a vacation?

It's all cool.
