Zihuatanejo and the entire Costa Grande of Guerrero continues doing very well at trying to beat this damned pandemia. Health officials report only 5 currently active cases of Covid-19 for Zihuatanejo today. Let's keep this trend going!

The city's politicians scared the bejeezus out of the passengers of a Westjet flight from Calgary, Canada today by making a big whoopteedoo photo op at the airport with fire hoses blasting water and a line of politicians waiting to fistbump the weary and anxious passengers as they disembarked from the plane. Hopefully the excellent female mariachi group "Joyas del Mar" helped calm their nerves a bit with their wonderful music.

Gotta say, the Paseo del Pescador was sure crowded last night. Too bad the increased amount of people walking it doesn't translate into increased sales at the local shops and boutiques. Just more garbage, and still no trash cans handy along the entire walkway. I guess those are only for Blue Flagged beaches! Each morning we see the mess left by the previous night's revelers on the beach, some who are still passed out on the new concrete benches or under the palapas, some on palm fronds they rip off the trees.

BIG GRACIAS to Joaquín and his staff at La Porteña. One of a very few restaurants that was doing a brisk business last night including a large contingent of foreign tourists, several celebrating birthdays, ALL enjoying themselves and the delicious meals, drinks and desserts. We loved our delicious fresh fillets of fish cooked to perfection, mine smothered in onions (encebollado) as usual, and tiramisú for dessert was simply divine. Mmmmmm!
