:microbe: Guerrero's state health officials confirm 7 currently active cases of Covid-19 in Zihuatanejo, 3 in Petatlán, 1 in Técpan, 3 in Atoyac, 2 in Coyuca de Benítez, 90 in Acapulco, and 191 in the entire state.

Gonna be a busy weekend. Both the Triatlón de Ixtapa and the Calentona fishing tournament happen this weekend.

There are about 50 Haitian refugees in Zihuatanejo who were sent here from Mexico City on what appear to be false pretenses to get paperwork done at our Migración offices, but Migración here said they can't help them. Besides food and a ride back to CDMX, they need a place to shower, wash their clothes and rest. While we saw a few of them walking around earlier, apparently they're staying at the bus station awaiting their fate. It would be nice to show them some Zihuatanejo hospitality.

:hotface: Hot weather continues, but thankfully the mar de fondo event has let up. Now if only we can get some water from CAPAZ... Just another day in paradise!

A stroll along the pier at sunset is always a source of relaxation. It's a privilege to be able to enjoy this.

Another kill tournament for the poor slobs who couldn't afford the Torneo de Pez Vela a couple of weeks ago. I believe there is some betting that goes on, too.

Looks like the fishing co-op "Triángulo del Sol". Though I'm sure the goobers will be there looking for photo ops and votes.

Surprised you've never heard of this annual event.

I have never been in the area from May to mid-July. So some of these obscure small events are new to me.

Silly me. I stated that the Calentona was this weekend when the event poster clearly states it's on the 28th, NEXT Sunday.
