Health officials for Guerrero register 199 currently active cases of Covid-19 in Zihuatanejo, 17 in La Unión, 34 in Petatlán, 12 in Tecpán, 664 in Acapulco, and 3,247 for the entire state.

I should've mentioned the passing of Kathy O'Dell Ellis earlier this week. She and Johnny and their now also departed Chihuahueña "Poquitos" were long-time fixtures here, visiting, then living here, then moving away recently due to the dog ban on La Ropa. Lupita and I always enjoyed running into them, especially when we still had our Chihuahueña "Lola" who got along well with Poquitos. Such a beautiful person who will be dearly missed. Lupita and I wish Johnny and their family much love and strength.

The Ejército Mexicano continues with their photographic exposition in Plaza del Artista. A shame most of the shade trees were cut down for the remodelación, the soldiers, like everyone else, spend most of the day huddled in the little shade left provided by the amate tree in front of our home. We have expressed our sincere gratitude to them for their service. Today they helped chase down a motorcycle thief who made off with a delivery bike from a nearby restaurant.

Warm and humid temps continue, so life goes on but at a slower pace.

The streets are getting more crowded especially during the daytime as more visitors show up from Michoacán and El Bajío region. Local merchants and businesses are hoping they bring some spending cash to help bolster our economy that is still recovering from the pandemia.

From August 1st until November Inn at Manzanillo Bay is offering major discounts while they do some work on their pool. A great time to take advantage of the lovely bungalows at this laid-back inn located on the beach at Playa Manzanillo. A perfect location for surfers.
