Our la ropa guadalupanos, for the second year in a row, did NOT have fireworks!!!! We enjoyed listening to their music and watching their procession.

That's good news. I've only heard cuetes twice so far this year, but none within range of my water bucket.

Health officials for Guerrero confirm 10 currently active cases of Covid-19 in Zihuatanejo, 2 in Atoyac, 1 in Coyuca de Benítez, 149 in Acapulco, and 210 in the entire state. The wave seems to have stalled.

This morning's walk on the downtown beach revealed that at least one nest of turtles hatched, and their tracks showed that many went the wrong way, confused because of the bright lights. I also found 3 dead hatchlings. Heartbreaking they didn't even make it to the water. I suspect the current pack of beach dogs may have had something to do with their deaths. Local authorities apparently pay almost no attention to Playa Principal. They don't even clean it very well. The same lame excuse they used for making El Palmar, La Ropa and La Madera Blue Flag beaches, because apparently it's the only way they can be motivated to actually keep beaches clean. Fortunately there are several neighbors who pitch in, but the old couple the city employs just barely make a difference, I hate to say.

Barely heard the guadalupano carolers this morning. I've gotten so used to them I think I actually look forward to their chanting and singing.

This Tuesday evening a cool breeze could be felt in Zihuatanejo right after the sun set. A sign of things to come.

Tucked away amid palm trees and sprawling gardens on the beach in Troncones are the lovely vacation lodgings of Casa Escondida. A 2-bedroom home, a 2-bedroom apartment, and two 1-bedroom bungalows all designed in local tropical styles. The property is located a short walk from the village.

Full moon rising over Zihuatanejo like a silver sun.
