Health officials for Guerrero confirm 9 currently active cases of Covid-19 in Zihuatanejo, 93 in Acapulco, and 236 in the entire state.
It was good to see the high turnout for the Paellafest at the pier and the Degustación de Café at the museum this Saturday evening. The boxing at the Cancha Municipal doesn't jiggle my Jell-O, but there were also a lot of people there to watch a bunch of amateurs beat on each other. Hope no one got hurt, but I did hear an ambulance go by earlier, not sure what that was about.
Our weather remains absolutely perfect and mild. The humidity has eased back up a smidgen making it more comfortable for me, and the evenings aren't quite so cool as they were last week, though a sheet is still necessary during the wee morning hours. We enjoyed mostly clear skies this Saturday with a light breeze. Perfect.

Ha! It did. They were hitting the water at high speed for quite a while right in front of us, but my little old i-Phone just couldn't freeze them in flight in the dwindling light. So this was one of the better shots.
The frigate birds were hovering high above the pelicans, waiting for any pelican to take flight with a fish still in its beak. If they flew high enough, the frigates would swoop down right at them, and sometimes the pelicans would cough up what they'd just swallowed out of fright of the swooping frigates and the incredible frigates would catch their food before it hit the water. The smarter pelicans flew away low over the water seeking another cardumen of fish schooling at the surface for them to dive into, then they'd loop up high and quickly dive, hoping they weren't detected by a frigate. Amazing displays of acrobatic flight, fishing and survival. The daily drama that is life on our ocean.
