Gozando La Costa PaZIHfica

As of today, since April 18, 2020 Zihuatanejo has registered a cumulative total of 2,337 confirmed cases of Covid-19 (same as yesterday), 190 that have resulted in fatalities, 30 that are currently active, and approximately 1,970 that have recovered.

It totally slipped my mind that we didn't have a huge parade downtown for Día del Trabajador yesterday. Thank goodness! There have been some good parts about this pandemia, and missing a few noisy parades has been one of them.

Of course we still have Día de la Madre on May 10th, and I'm sure that's going to be another excuse for lots of folks to be out celebrating.

We continue having large waves in the bay, meaning they must be much larger outside the bay. The mild evenings are hanging in there, and today really wasn't very hot, though temps above 30°C are expected for tomorrow. But hey, Merida and a lot of cities have in the north and east have temps over 40°C, so we've got it good. Still no rain in our forecast.

I hope at least some of you are watching Cruzan Mongoose's trek around the island of St. Croix. He just celebrated his 58th birthday.

This is La Boquita where folks crossed the mouth of the estuary (now gone) to get to La Madera from Playa Principal. The paths on the other side go over and around the hills to reach the beach on one side and the road to El Vado on the other. Circa 1972.

HA-HA Can you just picture in you head, our current mayor going for a beautification/moderization project on this piece of land in the Photo?
That is looking at the Madera side, yes? I truly hope Owen Lee's parcel
at Las Gatas NEVER falls victim to that which we currently are!!

Gosh, what a great old photo! I walked up and down that hill many times. Back in the summer of '72 there was an American lady who lived near the top of the hill who sold really tasty banana bread. I had it for breakfast almost every day..

Too late!

Wow! Thanks for that great vintage photo.
