State health officials for Guerrero confirm 4 currently active cases of Covid-19 in Zihuatanejo, 32 in Acapulco, and 148 in the entire state.

This Thursday we noticed more tourists in town. I guess it was the same for Ixtapa since it's being reported that the local hotels are something like 80% full (I suspect that's an inflated number). Seeing a few more middle-class looking tourists, but not as many as we'd like to see. A few more folks are going to the waterfront restaurants here in town, but there are also plenty of folks partying on the beach who seem to have brought everything they need with them (except a restroom).

Thursday was a bit smokier than the day before. Fires are starting to flare up out of control along highways where people toss trash and cigarettes, and of course the burning of parcels for the upcoming planting season continues. But the temps remained somewhat mild, though the sun continues rising earlier and it gets hot earlier, more noticeable now without our Horario de Verano.

Another very nice lodging that enjoys an excellent location in Troncones is Hotel Los Sueños. This enchanting oceanfront inn offers 6 one-bedroom suites, a two-bedroom family suite with kitchen, and a "cozy" surfers' room also with kitchen, queen-size bed and bunk bed. All rooms have A/C, fridge, hammock, wireless internet, and there is a pool on the property. Located on Playa Troncones within easy walking distance of the village, restaurants and convenience stores.

This was Owen's place at Punta del Rey before any roads and construction scarred the hillsides. Few places in the world are as beautiful as Zihuatanejo used to be before all the hillsides got populated. Lupita and I are glad we got to enjoy it before the tipping point.
