<p>Today was a proud day for Mexico thanks to all the citizens who participate to receive and count our votes. My heartfelt thanks to all the poll workers in Zihuatanejo and throughout the <em>República</em>. You make us all so proud! Excellent job!</p>
<p>It's still too early to tell who won any of the elections, so I won't speculate here. Nationwide it appears turnout was around 60%. You can find the preliminary results for Zihuatanejo's elections here: <strong><a href="https://www.prepguerrero.mx/ayuntamientos/municipios/39">https://www.prepguerrero.mx/ayuntamientos/municipios/39</a></strong></p>
<p>I was surprised by how many out-of-towners were waiting to vote at the special <em>casilla</em> at the museum this morning. At 7:00 A.M. there was already a line over halfway around the block before the polls opened at 8:00 A.M.</p>
<p>Still no rain in our local forecast. Today was another absolutely picture-postcard-perfect sunny day. There have been some waves in Zihuatanejo Bay but not big enough to keep people from enjoying themselves. First thing this morning while walking my dog I had to laugh at a small group of women and girls playing in the breakers, and just like when I first came here 50 years ago, all of them were clothed, none were wearing swimsuits. All laughing and having a wonderful time in the ocean.</p>

For your adventure on our local waters I highly recommend the services of <strong><a href="https://www.zihuatanejoixtapacharters.com/">Zihuatanejo Ixtapa Charters</a></strong>. They have vessels for all occasions. Take your pick and enjoy an unforgettable day in our paradise.<br />
