Only 2 cases of Covid-19 have been confirmed in Zihuatanejo in the last 24 hours. Currently there are 7 active cases. It's looking like this is no longer an issue for us. Let's see what the next week brings after last weekend's massive influx of tourists and multiple events with large crowds. I'd like to be able to stop reporting on this and spend more time with my sweetie.

As we were taking our dogs to the beach this morning I came across a disoriented baby sea turtle in the alleyway (can't call it a garden or small park any more) called Plaza del Artista. This is the second time this week we've seen turtle hatchlings that were disoriented by the extremely bright lights along the waterfront, part of the unsolicited remodelación. A problem I predicted as soon as I saw the lights. I'm surprised neither our city's ecological office nor anyone else ever weighed in on the lighting. Am I the only pseudo ecologist left? In much if not most of the Gulf Coast from Florida to Texas there are city ordinances to prevent waterfront lighting from shining onto the beach precisely for this reason. Turtle hatchlings need to be able to easily discern the horizon, but with the extremely bright lights they are unable to along the downtown waterfront. This isn't rocket science, folks.

Zihuatanejo and Ixtapa are coming back to life. Come join us!

Lots of fun and interesting things to see and do await our visitors.
