Only 33 active cases of Covid-19 are currently reported in Zihuatanejo as we move into two weeks of Semáforo Amarillo. The goal still appears to be to have everyone vaccinated by the end of October. This week 18-29añeros are getting their second dosis of Sinovac.

Today was another of those indescribably perfectly beautiful days of mild temps and dark azure skies painted dramatically with cottonball cumulus clouds. At no time were the temps uncomfortable. Perfect for sleeping and siesta as well as for strolling about. The air fragrant with flowers, abundant vegetation, damp earth and of course the ocean. And of course at our home we still enjoy the scent of the nearby bakery and the coffee shop in the mornings. Heady stuff!

If you still haven't made up your mind about whether or where to vacation, here are some ideas for lovely local lodgings.

This was a lovely scene this morning until a front-end loader showed up and dug it all up to divert the flow of the water so that the beach would no longer renew and replenish itself as it does almost every year.

Nice decision to plant palm trees close to the wash. Not too late to pull them up and plant them somewhere reasonable.

Nooooooooo. That would be an admission of error, and admitting one error would open the floodgates for all the others they've committed in the name of "la remodelación". They'll keep sending the front-end loader to fight with mother nature. I was only one of many locals familiar with the behavior of our waterfront (unlike the arquitecto) who said planting anything here would be foolish.

Maybe tie a simple black cloth band around the doomed palms might bring attention to all and city planners. Just like we wear black bands on our arms when we loose someone.
