As of today, since April 18, 2020 Zihuatanejo has registered a cumulative total of 1,712 confirmed cases of Covid-19 (1 more than yesterday), 133 that have resulted in fatalities, 21 that are currently active, and approximately 1,445 that have recovered. Currently there are no active cases in La Unión and only one in Petatlán where our presidente was this past weekend.

I don't know what excuses Gringo and Canadian visitors are still using for walking around downtown without facemasks, but I continue seeing too many of them. They shouldn't be surprised if a bucket of water accidentally spills on their head.

There have been several earthquakes above 4.0 in our region recently. This is a bit alarming and serves as a reminder that we need to always be on our toes here. Folks need to have their important papers in a bag of sorts where you can grab them as you run out the door in case of a strong earthquake.

Our weather remains absolutely perfect. Just warm enough in the day to be considered hot (though not very) and cool enough at night for snuggling, which I highly encourage and recommend.

Every day my heart swells full with the amazing love of an incredible woman born here on Zihuatanejo's downtown beach. If I'm not the luckiest gringo in Mexico, I don't know who else it could be. Pobres de los demás hombres.

Plenty of vacation lodgings here offer perfect getaways from the madness occurring elsewhere. Just what the doctor ordered!
