Zihuatanejo currently reports only 9 active cases of Covid-19. ¡Fenomenal! Let's hope this holds up next week after Día de Muertos with all the family gatherings and tourism.

Today and tomorrow are sad days for many families although there appears to be no shortage of young people and tourists celebrating the long weekend like any other with copious amounts of alcohol and loud music. While of course we want our residents and visitors to enjoy the cultural celebration, please remember that many people are remembering their departed family members and they are not in a festive mood, so please be respectful (as all the foreigners I've seen have been).

One of the vessels from last night's parade of boats sank but all its passengers were all rescued unhurt, in case anyone saw the incident and wondered.

It sure is good to see so many people here visiting. Lots of foreigners are already here. I hope we'll start seeing some trip reports and photos soon. (hint hint)

Some lodgings I recommend for those of you looking:
Bed & Breakfasts in Zihuatanejo-Ixtapa, Troncones & Barra de Potosí
