As of today Zihuatanejo has registered a cumulative total of 1,149 confirmed cases of Covid-19, 80 that resulted in fatalities, 49 that are currently active, and 948 that have recovered. The slight spike continues, most likely due to the opening of the bars and cinemas.

We keep enjoying evening rains that keep the nights perfect for sleeping. Though two bicyclists had to be rescued from a small island in the Río de Petatlán after finding themselves trapped and the water rising. I can't believe anyone would try to cross the river with bicycles right now after all the rains.

Not sure if there is going to be a parade his year, but the Grito de la Independencia will be given without a public to shout ¡VIVA! I believe they plan on posting it on Facebook. Hopefully there won't be any pyrotechnics this year. I don't think a lot of us will miss those. I know our pets won't.

Be sure to take advantage of the special offers being made by several local lodgings. Many places are offering nice discounts.
