El Verde DeZIHgnado

https://youtu.be/-mVzu5xSQjU

As of today, since April 18, 2020 Zihuatanejo has registered a cumulative total of 2,414 confirmed cases of Covid-19 (1 more than yesterday), 193 that have resulted in fatalities, 37 that are currently active, and approximately 2,036 that have recovered. As I predicted several weeks ago, Guerrero will be moving to Semáforo Verde beginning next week. But we are being warned by the government to carry on as if we were still under Amarillo, which suggests we probably aren't ready to go to Verde yet, and some hotel operators have expressed precisely that sentiment. I believe we just saw a mini-spike after the recent vaccination process, and ongoing political campaign rallies have also seen large gatherings not practicing social distancing. We'll see what happens. I think we need to get more people vaccinated before we start easing up, but politicians and their parties all want to give the impression things are improving because of their "leadership" in order to help their respective campaigns.

Another mild evening allowed for extremely comfortable sleeping, especially for this time of year. How long can this last?

Paving a third of the beach didn't leave much for the waves. High waves are already lapping at the Paseo, and we still haven't even begun having any storms.

Hola. We were at Arcadia tonight. At one point the waves lapped right up to the new walkway. Sad to hear that they are going to "replant" 5 of the palm trees near the new walkway to a position about ten feet from the water. Don't expect them to survive. All just to build a permanent gazebo near the walkway and take up more of the beach.

No, the palm trees won’t surv. I’m surprised they’d even pretend they’ll be replanted. They’ll cut down the taller older palms and plant some new ones. They don’t get it and they don’t care. And of course everyone will take the freebie palapa and promise their political support. It’s an election year and politicians and their voters can do no wrong.

I hope you made your feelings known to Casa Arcadia.

Man, does that new walkway ever look antiseptic.

A pedestrian walkway the size of a 2-lane highway. Not exactly what we needed on our beach. Now we have to build a wall to protect town from the waves that now wash up onto this walkway. How unfortunate.

2 lane pedestrian walkway for social distancing. Who knew?

Good Money should be used to start building a seawall or a factory for rubber boots.

We're working on the former.
