Corazón SenZIHble
Although our hospital's Covid-19 section is reportedly only half full, the doctors and nurses are having a rough time and pleading with the public to please respect the health protocols of the pandemia and wear facemasks in public, stay home if possible, wash hands frequently and practice social distancing. Unfortunately the irresponsible behavior by a few has negative repercussions that affect many, as we're currently experiencing.
Petatlán is having a rough time with its Covid-19 patients who need hospitalization. Of course if the mayor hadn't insisted on celebrating the recent feria there might not be so many people sick and dying. They don't have the facilities to handle them. Businesses in Barra de Potosí are either closed or only partially open in an effort to reduce the spread of the virus there.
Our weather remains absolutely perfect. A little rain here and there, plenty of sunshine, and in the mornings at our home we get the smell of the bakery, the smell of the coffee shop, and of course the ocean and tropical flowers all around. Pretty heady stuff. I love it!
My whole family is still living on the edge of a painful sadness from the loss of our grandson Raulito. It's hard to stifle tears and sobs when coming across a voice mail, video or photo of his. My office in particular has many of his drawings, including some of his first from his pre-kinder years. So please forgive me if I seem a-kilter temperamentally. Normal can be an elusive condition sometimes.

Tracks like this show the sea turtles are having a difficult time navigating the obstacle course that Playa Principal has become since the so-called remodelación.
