Currently active reported cases of Covid-19 reached 420 in Zihuatanejo today, while in La Unión they reached 15 and in Petatlán 20. Zihuatanejo had to stop accepting patients from other municipios even though we're supposed to have the regional hospital. If only my letter last year to the gobernador and local mayor calling for the funds used on the unsolicited waterfront remodelación project to be used to bolster the hospital hadn't fallen on deaf ears.

Today was a bit on the warm side, good for the plants and for drying out after late afternoon and evening rains.

Mexico celebrated the 500th anniversary of the fall of Tenochtitlan today. A celebration of what was lost and what was gained, of the survival of indigenous people and their cultures in stark contrast to their fate in other lands, and of the formation of a new culture. The loss of one of the most awe-inspiring cities ever built and the building upon its ruins of another amazing city. ¡Viva México!
