Health officials for Guerrero confirm 3 currently active cases of Covid-19 in Zihuatanejo, 61 in Acapulco, and 140 in the entire state.

I'm taking it as a positive sign that the rebuilding of the burned palapas on Playa Principal has stopped. Maybe the mayor is taking into consideration the concerns of the neighbors who don't want them rebuilt. As a concerned neighbor, I feel lucky the wind was in our favor the night of the fire and didn't blow the flames towards the buildings. And the beachfront restaurants themselves should pay for low-profile shaded seating areas according to their means, not have uniform 3-story palapas built by the city for them that block the views and pose a major fire hazard.

I don't think it quite got down to 17°C Wednesday night as had been forecast. Maybe around 19°C. An extra sheet on the bed felt good last night. Nothing but mostly clear blue skies for the past several days. Still no snow in the forecast.

Every single day I give thanks to be in this marvelous slice of paradise with the incredible woman who accepted me as her partner for life. I must be the luckiest Gringo in Mexico!

Almost no green is left on any of our hillsides. Just shades of brown as another day in paradise comes to an end. Fire season is here.
