As of today, since April 18, 2020 Zihuatanejo has registered a cumulative total of 2,313 confirmed cases of Covid-19 (8 more than yesterday), 188 that have resulted in fatalities, 37 that are currently active, and approximately 1,940 that have recovered. Only 1 active case is currently reported in La Unión to our north, and none in Petatlán to our south.

The smell of smoke in the air was noticeable last night and this morning, but just barely. There was a large fire intentionally set twice so far on the hill near where the new La Ropa road meets the coastal highway, at Riscalillo. Because it's election year, land thieves know politicians will pander to them for their votes. That's what squatting is all about here.

The weather continues to be absolutely perfect. Still cool enough at night for sleeping under a light bedsheet. Perfect for all the folks who get up early to do chores and exercise. The waves continue to be a little high, but not as high as in recent days.

The day "Plaza III" (aka Plaza del Artista) was renamed in honor of Profesora Caritina Galeana Gómez on Feb. 6, 2012. Where are all those politicians now that her shady gardened plaza has been desecrated and the dedication forgotten?
