State health officials for Guerrero confirm 5 currently active cases of Covid-19 in Zihuatanejo, 1 in La Unión, 51 in Acapulco, and 227 in the entire state.

¡Zihuatanejo está abarrotado! Our morning stroll this Saturday wasn't so bad, though there were busloads of tourists on the Paseo del Pescador sitting and strolling with their suitcases, coolers and backpacks waiting for the water taxis to Las Gatas to start running, but our evening stroll was a different story. Almost impossible to walk along the Paseo. We had to sneak in with a group of patrolling Marinos and walk amid them just to move along the walkway. Between the hordes returning from Las Gatas and the hundreds of people just milling about it was bad enough, almost shoulder to shoulder, but add to that all the folks not even paying attention to where they are because they're too busy texting, playing with their smartphones and taking selfies, and we ended up running for the street just to be able to get back home from the pier. Might just stay indoors on Sunday. :-o

Even with all the people, there was still plenty of room in most of the restaurants we passed on the Paseo and Calle Pedro Ascencio.

The absence of any authority at the pier was evident. No one from the Capitanía was visible anywhere. It was pure controlled chaos.

The Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, named after my wife, was also full, and they were well into a long mass when we passed by.

Today was another warm day. Water temp has been hovering around 28°C, and it isn't getting as cool at night as it had been. The air is noticeably smokier, but it was still a picture-postcard perfect day.

[image]Troncones would be a wonderful place to escape to now, though they also have their hands full with day-trippers and visitors, but nothing like downtown Zihuatanejo or Ixtapa. And a good place to escape to in Troncones is Villas Troncones. Ten villas featuring from 1 to 5 bedrooms, located on tastefully landscaped grounds surrounding a pool and fronting the Pacific Ocean. Located within easy walking distance of restaurants, convenience stores and the village.

Yep - last night was jam-packed on the Paseo. We switched to Juan N. Alvarez, too. I must say, though, Calle Adelita (where the little restaurants have their tables in the street) is pretty empty. Nice walking there in the evenings now!
