As of today, since April 18, 2020 Zihuatanejo has registered a cumulative total of 2,384 confirmed cases of Covid-19 (4 more than yesterday), 193 that have resulted in fatalities, 33 that are currently active, and approximately 2,010 that have recovered. Petatlán currently has 5 active cases while La Unión has 0.
Another day hotter and more humid than the previous. Smoke and clouds teasing a rain that won't come. Utterly windless. No sleeping under sheets for the foreseeable future. A good time for saving energy and turning off water heaters. Did someone wish the ocean would warm up? This is what comes with it. Enjoy! And only last week we were still sleeping under sheets and enjoying morning temps in the upper teens.
And still no city water, though plenty of promises. For foreigner retirees no problem buying pipas, but for working-class Mexicans a pipa is a luxury.
El muellecito, all but forgotten, and a "colorful" paint job on the footbridge.

Cost?
How much does it cost to have a pipa come?
Hope I'm saying that correctly!
TIA

Our la pipa guy charges MX$600 for a 10,000 litro load. Keep in mind you are paying for the delivery, not the water so it's going to be the same price whether you take 10,000 litros or 100.
We usually give our guy at least an extra 100 pesos. He's very helpful and responsive. A few weeks ago, a toilet valve came apart during the night and our cistern ran dry. He showed up within an hour on a Sunday morning, filled us up, and then helped me get the pump primed and hung out until everything was all working again.

Gracias por Luis Miguel's version de La Media Vuelta, tan romantica.

Una clásica de José Alfredo Jiménez Sandoval. No sé si te diste cuenta de los personajes famosos que aparecieron en el video en la escena del bar. Muchos que ya no están con nosotros.
P.D. Pa' que sepas. Ya que "tan" significa "so" y "tanto/tanta" "so much", se dice: "La canción es tan romántica" o "La canción tiene tanto romanticismo." Ponte a estudiar. Habrá un examen luego.

Gracias, Rob. I'm surprised mi maestro Diego did not catch that pequeno error. I'll search for the bar scene.
