Here near the dolphins, we had maximum 48 mph winds, and from midnight until it stopped about 10, we had 8.01 inches of rain. Before midnight it was about 2 inches.

We just drove into Centro for breakfast, and from the airport road into town is now completely cleared and swept. At the turn for the airport road there are several backhoes and dump trucks clearing up and an army of people with brooms cleaning their way south.

There is such pride of place here. It's wonderful!

The road into La Ropa is 99% clean now, sidewalks about 90% due in thanks to many hard working crews. The Beach was still being cleaned last night by dozens of volunteer's of debris that is still being washed up on the beach. This may continue for a few days and the sea spits back what us humans dumped into her (Fair enough). Lost some really nice trees and a few lost some roofing. Construction projects resumed yesterday and most all restaurants are open. More Gringo Tourists arrived this week and it looks like this High Season will start real soon with many eager folks ready for a break.

> Masks are still being used by all vendors and I would say that tourists are about 50/50. The ones that are not wearing are keeping a very safe distance which to me is following safe practice protocol.

Agree about the tourists and facemasks. They seem to keep to their own family groups when unmasked, which is fine. Outdoors isn't where the risk is. It's indoors. Outdoors when we wear facemasks we are mostly being respectful, though when conversing with others it is always recommended.

Anyone (Taley Ho maybe?) knows about the way Playa La Ropa was affected by waves and rains ?

Zihuatanejo's health authorities report 21 currently active cases of Covid-19 in our municipio. Only 2 people currently occupy beds in the Covid-19 section of our Hospital General.

The state of Guerrero celebrates its 172 anniversary today since its formation. ¡Viva!

The highway to Acapulco reopened late last night and traffic is once again flowing up and down the Costa Grande. Tourists are returning. There's no shortage of any goods that I'm aware of, though lots of banana and papaya groves were lost in our region because of Huracán Rick. I imagine other crops were also affected.

While the region is recovering fairly quickly from the disaster, there will be lasting scars, most notably all the lost trees. They'll grow back slowly, if at all. Some beaches lost sand, others gained some. The pier at Playa Linda got cracked again from the waves.

Arroyos and rivers are cresting. The sierra of Zihuatanejo, Petatlán and La Unión are where many communities remain cut off from washed out roads and bridges as is the community of La Chole where the archaeological site is, so there are no museum or pyramid tours for a while.

Come enjoy our warmth and leave your stress behind. Paradise awaits!
