Memorias ZIHcadélicas

(What I was doing 50 years ago today.)

Guerrero's health authorities report there is currently only 1 active case of Covid-19 in Zihuatanejo. Petatlán and La Unión report NO active cases. Even Lázaro Cárdenas where things had gotten pretty severe is only reporting 8 currently active cases. With the new round of vaccines for those who missed them we should be getting to the light at the end of the tunnel. Cases are down nationwide.

When local newspapers and the government published their beach restrictions today in the social media I saw almost 100% rejection of the stupid restrictions. These stupid Blue Flag policies are hurting our tourism. I can see why beachfront restaurants might not complain since the busloads of people keep arriving and they don't care if a table of 2 or 10 spends the same amount as long as they keep making money, but lodging and shop owners are losing potential customers. Those who were present at the meeting we had a few years ago with the city government know we've been betrayed with the pet ban, and now tourists are openly saying they're going elsewhere. Fine for the folks at Barra de Potosí and Troncones, but bad for Zihuatanejo and Ixtapa who continue losing tourists, visitors and residents with the purchasing power we need. The local government obviously doesn't care since they don't live from tourism, but instead of having any open dialogue with me or my readers they instead resort to trying to upset my family members. Very cowardly!

If you're in Mexico don't forget to set any manual clocks you have ahead one hour this Saturday night as we go on Horario de Verano tonight.

Instead of staying at an All-Included resort, why not enjoy one of our local Bed & Breakfast lodgings? At Barra de Potosí Hacienda La Rusa and Villa Don Manuel are a couple of excellent B&B lodgings.
