Guerrero's health authorities report 27 currently active cases of Covid-19 in Zihuatanejo, 0 in both Petatlán and La Unión as well as the rest of the Costa Grande.

The other day I mentioned that schools start Wednesday, but I must've consulted an out-of-date calendar because students are expected to be present in classes beginning tomorrow, Monday January 3rd. That explains the mass exodus today (though we did see a couple of busloads of visitors with suitcases arriving this morning). The highways must've been really crowded leaving the coast for the inland cities.

The city has done an amazing job trying to manage the madness that is always our Christmas season. I may not agree with some of their methods, but the result was still simply amazing. I've heard of a relatively few accidents and I'm seeing relatively few complaints in the social media. The police have been patrolling with increased frequency, the poor city workers appear to be exhausted from all they've done, yet still workers from CAPAZ came by today to check if the water pressure was sufficient you reach us (it wasn't, we are at the end of the line and there has been increased water usage). Though sometimes the hours are inconvenient when they stop by, we are extremely grateful for their attention. Weeks like these past two are when city workers really go the extra mile to meet their deadlines and get their jobs done. And their good work is reflected in the positive comments by many of our visitors. ¡BRAVO, Zihuatanejo! ¡Bien hecho!

Now that the crowds are gone, this is a great time to come visit for a couple of weeks or a couple of months. We are fortunate to have so many truly lovely vacation rental lodgings in addition to some exceptional hotels. All attended to by very hard working warm and friendly people.

Much thanks to Eileen Redding for sharing her stunning photo with us.

Not so many folks on the beach this morning as there have been recently but still quite a few.
