We think the best moon sets monthly are the morning of the full moon and the day after. It sets while we are doing the dog swim and walk. It's the one date every month that we always know!

The moon, framed by clouds that made it appear to be a full sphere, was the size and color of the setting sun! I tried to take some pix but the camera in my inexpensive phone can't produce more than different sized dots of light on a black background.

As of today Zihuatanejo has registered a cumulative total of 1,504 confirmed cases of Covid-19 (1 more than yesterday), 117 that have resulted in fatalities, 6 that are currently active, and approximately 1,267 that have recovered.

Lupita gave a good regañada to the person in charge of the remodelación of the waterfront and its plazas. She let them know who she is and that she is not happy at all to see more beach paved over or the roots of trees exposed where more concrete will be poured or the loss of green areas in the plazas. She told him what she expected to see done. Let's hope they take her comments seriously and make some changes to what they're doing. My wife is my hero! Nobody loves Zihuatanejo and its people more than she does.

I feel like I need to remind folks (not just foreigners) that here in Zihuatanejo, like the rest of the Costa Grande, we respect the tradition of siesta. Between 2 and 5 don't come calling and don't call because we won't answer the door or the phone. It's a time for the main meal of the day and relaxation afterwards. It seems like a lot of folks from other parts of Mexico don't know about our local tradition or simply don't observe it like we do.

If you're looking for reliable restaurants I know a few. Some will even observe Thanksgiving and deliver meals to you.
