I went to La Ropa beach on New Year's eve and New Year's day and was very impressed to see city workers walking the beach collecting trash and keeping the beach clean. Despite all the people the beach seemed quite clean.

Yepper. They really earned their pay from what I saw on Playa Principal. They just got new uniforms last week, so that helped boost their morale a bit. I think most of them deserve a big pay raise.

Guerrero's health officials confirm 29 currently active cases of Covid-19 in Zihuatanejo, 1 in Atoyac, 118 in Acapulco, and 387 for the entire state. Please practice sanitary protocols and wear a facemask when indoors in stores, offices, public transportation, markets and airports.

There were thousands of people downtown and on the beach last night for the fireworks. Kept us working folks up too late (again). Surprisingly, and probably thanks to the ban on the sales of fireworks, we didn't have to listen to people setting off firecrackers all night long as in previous years. But there were still folks drinking on the beach and in the plazas, though the city workers did a commendable job cleaning up after everyone.

Start the year off with a trip to El Refugio de Potosí. An amazing center for wildlife conservation and environmental education. Features a fully reconstructed sperm whale skeleton (the only one in Mexico), an observation tower, a wheelchair accessible footpath for observing local flora and fauna, and a butterfly pavilion. Located near the beach on the road to Barra de Potosí. Perfect for the entire family.

Frigate birds dive at fish from a fisherman while a pelican cruises by. Amazingly the pelicans stuck around after the fireworks, but the herons, egrets and cormorants weren't around Playa Principal this morning.
