<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Could be.  Or, like Punto Garrobos, maybe it's just taking forever - they still only have two buildings (admin, I guess, maybe hotel?) done, and two under construction and it's been a few years.  Either way, I'm happy!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>We've seen lots of turtles in the ocean, in the bay - having a little &quot;afternoon delight&quot;, which I hope translates to many nests in the near future.  Also saw a medium sized turtle sleeping under a rock in front of Las Gatas.  AND, we passed by Manzanillo and the greenery has almost obscured the orange stretchy construction fencing, although <strong>no construction has happened yet</strong>.</p>
</blockquote><p>That is most excellent news! I hope our efforts are responsible for it being cancelled.</p>

<p>A tropical system sits off our coast with a high probability of further formation. Watch out for some wind gusts and high surf along with the possibility of intense rains.</p>
<p>Snorkeling friends have been spotting lots of sea turtles in the bay. I'm hoping loose dogs aren't chasing them off our beaches. I know the damn bright lights in town and along the Paseo don't help one bit. They disorient the turtles. I haven't been able to prowl our beach these past couple of mornings so I can't comment on any nests, but I've seen much fewer than normal this year so far.</p>
<p>Currently active Covid-19 cases in Zihuatanejo are officially at 457, though I expect the actual number is much higher. La Unión currently reports 16 active cases while Petatlán reports an alarming high of 72. A group of foreigners walked by unmasked last evening setting a poor example. Police are actively looking for people to offer them a facemask and to remind them that their use is obligatory when around other people. I fear we'll be back in Semáforo Rojo soon if people don't cooperate. Still seeing too many taxi and bus drivers not being responsible. Cooperation is how we lick this thing. Hopefully young people can get vaccinated here soon like they're doing in in Acapulco.</p>

<p>A man and his small child appear to have been sleeping under a restaurant's new palapa to escape the overnight rain, then they moved to the beach when the restaurant's workers showed up.<br />
