State health officials for Guerrero confirm 2 currently active cases of Covid-19 in Zihuatanejo, 1 in La Unión, 30 in Acapulco, and 148 in the entire state.

There were nowhere near as many tourists around today as there were yesterday. Although the tourism officials are of course posting their cifras alegres and boasting numbers, the truth is many local businesses are complaining that sales were nowhere near what they expected or would normally get from such numbers of visitors. Public servants refuse to understand that their bad policies and poor promotion is cheapening our destination by chasing away tourists with the purchasing power we need and substituting them for tourists who bring everything they consume with them. Lots of us are anxious to see if we get the middle-class visitors we usually receive during the second week of this vacation period. Keeping fingers crossed.

The ocean continues warming ever so slowly but surely, and the overnight temps aren't quite as refreshing as they have been up until the past few days. The clock keeps ticking towards the arrival of the first rains of our rainy season, which coincides with our hurricane season that begins on May 15th. So far the smoke isn't too bad, though it is noticeable. Is everyone ready for the heat?
