Tuesday evening's rain made all the difference and brought down our local temperatures considerably. Wednesday was a fairly lovely day. It remained partly cloudy most of the day, but it never rained in Zihuatanejo.
The Autopista Siglo XXI was closed for several hours today after a tanker truck had an accident and caught fire, but as of 7:30PM this Wednesday evening they were allowing traffic once again over the bridge where the accident occurred.
Lupita and I went for our flu shots today at the Clínica El Embalse. There were actually 2 shots: one for influenza and the other for neumococo. Easy peasy. But no beer today. 
Acapulco suffered quite a bit from Tuesday's rainstorms from the remnants of Hurricane Julia. Cars were washed through the streets and a woman was swept away by the current in the street and unfortunately lost her life. It was quite a different event for Acapulco than it was for us. We got lucky.
A lovely gem of a lodging is Casa Delfin Sonriente on the beach in Playa Troncones and surrounded by lush gardens. A 6-bedroom private beachfront villa with a pool that can be rented in its entirety or as individual suites and bungalows by the day or by the week.

Fishermen head out from the downtown beach just before sunset even with storm clouds present, which later opened up and let loose with lightning and rain for a couple of hours.

There is some thought that alcohol can effect the response to vaccines. This is based on the fact that alcoholics have a somewhat diminished immune system. As best I can tell from a brief literature search, moderate drinking (one to two drinks a day)would have little, if any effect. I didn't find any actual studies that document this, the evidence seems to be mostly related to chronic alcoholics, without relevant control groups of teetolalers.

The docs here always tell us not to drink for several days after our vaccination shots. I allow a day before having a beer, and a couple before having any tequila. 
Didn't feel any side effects except a sore left arm for a few hours. They gave us a shot in each arm. Hopefully our Covid-19 updated boosters will be available within the next couple of months, and hopefully they won't make Talley Ho sick as a dog this time.
