A keeper tune and a nice new mural. Gracias por todos and the straight totals on Covid throughout.

Thank you for the kind words. They are MUCH appreciated, amigo!

Los Tres Reyes made a lot of incredible music, and I consider them at the top of their genre like Los Panchos, who are often credited with inventing the genre of music we often refer to as Los Trios, usually boleros and baladas, almost always romantic music. Gilberto Puente is the guy who plays the requinto, like a lead guitar, who took the style to new levels that many others try to imitate but that I think none surpass.

I'll keep reporting on the local progress of the pandemic until it becomes unnecessary. I feel it is one of my duties, especially since no one else is doing so. I want folks to see that we aren't like Brazil or India.

Sorry I couldn't save the trees. Hard to believe in the 21st century we still have idiots who cut down healthy old trees with such whimsical frivolity. I'm still working on trying to save Playa Manzanillo. Wish me luck.

As of today, since April 18, 2020 Zihuatanejo has registered a cumulative total of 2,422 confirmed cases of Covid-19 (same as yesterday), 193 that have resulted in fatalities, 21 that are currently active, and approximately 2,058 that have recovered. Stats like these are encouraging. Petatlán currently has 2 active cases while La Unión has 0.

Last night was a tad warmer than the previous night, and this morning was a bit smokier than yesterday. The clouds kept the temps down for part of the day, but once they burned off the heat got serious. And the humidity still isn't really up there yet. Any day now the sky should open up.

Still, just another day in paradise where hardly anything happens. Love it!

One of the lovely works of art found at Plaza del Artista. The trees didn't need to die for us to be able to enjoy this beautiful painting, but unfortunately their loss will forever detract from the experience for many.
