El Tiempo Tranquilo en Zih

In 1829 Mexico's second president, Vicente Ramón Guerrero Saldaña, was a black man. In 1858 Mexico's president, Benito Pablo Juárez García, was an indigenous man. Both are among Mexico's most revered patriots. A damn shame to see the USA still having to deal with its white supremacy problems 50 years after the assassination of Dr. King. From #WeShallOvercome to #WeCantBreathe

All of Mexico except Zacatecas has been designated a heavy contagion zone for the coming week even though from the daily briefings it looks like the curve is lowering. This is a precautionary measure coinciding with what is forecast to be a period of high contagion, and Guerrero is finding itself in the front row with outbreaks growing in Iguala, Chilpancingo, Acapulco, Tixtla and Chilapa. Last I heard Zihuatanejo still had a total of 14 confirmed contagions total since we began keeping count. Lázaro Cárdenas is a hot zone and doctors from La Unión keep ending up infected. I expect things will change soon enough as the first wave of the illness passes through our region.

The gobernador has deferred until at least June 15 any relaxing of safety procedures in Guerrero. Schools won't reopen until August 10. But I did see a beer distribution truck drive by yesterday, so hope is at hand.

Still getting chilly breezes in the evenings. Un-friggin-believable! But it looks like it all begins to change in the coming week as we begin to get some southerly breezes.

These guys are working hard to keep a lot of people fed even though most of their pangas remain idle for lack of a market since most restaurants are closed.

A postcard from paradise.
