Health officials for the state of Guerrero confirm 3 currently active cases of Covid-19 in Zihuatanejo, 58 in Acapulco, and 134 for the entire state. ¡Sí, señor!

Did everyone enjoy their Día del Amor y la Amistad?

Zihuatanejo lost one of its most beloved former mayors this Wednesday, Arq. Armando Federico González Rodríguez passed away at 77 years of age. I first met and befriended Armando back when he was still a newcomer from Acapulco in the early 70's. We had a lot of the same friends and shared a lot of good times. He was one of the padrinos for our wedding when Lupita and I got married. He's the mayor who best understood Zihuatanejo's tourism and our niche in the larger market, and he knew how to promote Zihuatanejo well via targeted marketing without appealing too much to mass marketing. No one has come even remotely close to doing so much so well for Zihuatanejo's tourism since. We will miss him dearly. QEPD

Wednesday was another bright sunny and warm day along the Costa Grande. While Lupita and I use a light sheet at night when the temps dip to around 20°C, I imagine many of our visitors from cooler climes sleep on top of theirs or sleep with the A/C on. Since it's forecast to get to 17°C this Wednesday night, I may have to wear a t-shirt and double up on the sheets. Brrrr!
