Mexico is in Modo de Mundial. From morning until late in the evening, the Copa Mundial is on TVs in homes and businesses everywhere. The beautiful game. The most popular sport in the world. With Mexico as one of the host countries, it's taken on even more importance this year. A Mexican family's pet duck, Merlín, has become one of the World Cup's most popular icons after videos of it following its family around while wearing a t-shirt of Mexico's national team made the rounds on social media and news outlets. It was even in Presidenta Sheinbaum's morning news conference at the Palacio Nacional this Monday. Mexico's national team plays the Czech Republic this Wednesday evening at 7PM in Mexico City's Estadio Azteca. We've already won our pass to the next round, so this is mostly a symbolic match for Mexico. But tens of millions of Mexicans will be watching and cheering on our team. There's nothing else quite like the current World Cup spirit. ¡Ponte la verde!

Tourism remains extremely slow. We see very few visitors around downtown Zihuatanejo or its waterfront. I keep making the argument for diversifying our local economy precisely for this reason. Unfortunately, not one of our so-called popularly elected representatives in Zihuatanejo or Guerrero's state government even mentions such a notion. They're all 100% on board with tourism because it's an easy sell for simple minds even though it always eventually destroys the community and the natural environment. Especially politicians connected to the construction business. They like to sell MEGAPROYECTOS, even if they're in flood zones. And they use tourism as an excuse for constant "remodelling" to disappear millions of pesos from the public coffers. Nothing beats the steady income from clean industry jobs. Tourism is too fickle an industry for entire cities the size of Acapulco and Zihuatanejo to have to depend on.

Rain continues in the forecast, but so far none this Monday. Wednesday is looking like we might get some stormy weather. Hoping it's only a nice light rain. Nothing dramatic. And the ocean is expected to get more active in coming days. The mar de fondo is still barely noticeable in Zihuatanejo Bay, but the erosion of our beaches is becoming more apparent. Good surfing weather!

A much coveted vacation lodging located front and center on Playa La Ropa, Casa Gloria Maria offers air-conditioned 1-bedroom beachfront apartments with kitchens located centrally on the beach. Plenty of good restaurants are within easy walking distance. An easy place to relax and forget about the troubles and stress of the rest of the world. (click to enlarge image)
