Up to 21 confirmed cases of the virus in Zihuatanejo and also one death has been attributed to it so far.

The first good long soaker rain on Saturday ushered in a welcome change of weather. A tropical breeze now blows in from the south as it's supposed to do this time of year. The heady aroma of petrichor was abundant for most of yesterday and into the evening. My favorite! Green growth should appear soon on our currently brown and orange hills. Flying ants should begin appearing any day now along with mosquitos. Oh boy.

I hope the beaches are opened back up soon.

The rain seems to have calmed the mar de fondo effect that had waves washing high on our beaches.
