State health officials haven't updated their Covid-19 data since yesterday.

Though the government is surely posting cifras alegres for the vacation season tallies, the first week we saw too many people without money, and the second week we saw too few people with money. There's a difference. While many of the local shops and restaurants enjoyed some sales, compared to pre-pandemia years they were disappointing. It's going to be a difficult time for many folks between now and the summer vacation season. This Sunday the region will empty out as visitors return home to get ready for work and school on Monday. Expect lots of traffic on the road to Morelia.

I have first contact with dozens of tourists every day, maybe even hundreds, at this time of year mostly Mexicans as well as the Canadians and U.S. citizens who participate here. A recurring complaint I hear are about the beach rules making people feel unwelcome, especially people who travel with their pets. I've been documenting and predicting this for years, though the government tries their best to ignore me, but they can't ignore the unceasing complaints and comments by people who say they will take their business elsewhere, whether it's Troncones, Playa La Saladita, Barra de Potosí, Playa Azul, Playa Linda, La Barrita or Las Bahías de Papanoa, the complaints keep coming, and seeing how empty our beaches remained today I'd say the local government better start paying attention. Just because our politicians don't live from tourism doesn't mean they can keep causing us to lose visitors, especially repeat visitors who have been our staple for decades. Zihuatanejo isn't Acapulco or Disneyland, but a combination of those two places sure appears to be where the local government wants to take us due to their shortsightedness and avarice.

An incredibly relaxing lodging with a rather spectacular view is [image]La Casa Roja. An amazing multi-level vacation lodging located in Cerro El Almacén in Zihuatanejo with two comfortable suites. The upstairs has 2 bedrooms with a king-size and twin beds, full kitchen, private bath, and 2 terraces. The lower level also has 2 bedrooms with a king-size and twin beds, full kitchen, 2 baths, and a terrace. Close to restaurants and an easy stroll to downtown.
