Roads continue getting cleared and aid keeps arriving to Coyuca and Acapulco. The Guardia Nacional and the military are in charge of restoring order and getting assistance to the population, but due to the remoteness of so many affected communities and the absolute destruction of the infrastructure, theirs is a daunting task. There has never been a disaster like this in Guerrero in modern history, if ever, and there really was no way to prepare for this disaster in spite of what a lot of opportunistic media and politicians keep saying. Many of us in Guerrero were all fine-tuned to every source of weather information, and every forecaster was surprised at the speed and the strength at which Hurricane Otis grew. None were predicting a cat 5 hurricane on Tuesday morning.

Here in Zihuatanejo we are still counting our good fortune after many anxious days awaiting the arrivals of one hurricane after another that had been predicted to hit us at one time or another. A reminder that there ain't no reason with the hurricane season. And we still have yet another one out there dancing on the ocean with the potential to blow our way, though it's looking less likely at the moment. It's all part of life in the hurricane zone of the tropics. Our hurricane season doesn't officially end until November 30, so there's still a ways to go until we can relax a bit from expecting hurricanes (though not from quakes).

A HUGE shout out to our friends at La Porteña Restaurant for putting the Formula 1 Gran Premio de México on their TVs for us to enjoy with our cheeseburgers in paradise. What a treat! And DELICIOUS cheeseburgers!

Far from the noise and congestion of civilization near the village of Barra de Potosí is an oasis of a lodging called Villa Don Manuel. A Bed and Breakfast inn with a pool offering six comfortable one-bedroom bungalows, located in a coconut grove across the road from the beach.
