Otro Día RiquíZIHmo en Paraíso

As of today Zihuatanejo has registered a cumulative total of 1,539 confirmed cases of Covid-19 (same as yesterday), 123 that have resulted in fatalities, 4 that are currently active, and approximately 1,309 that have recovered. Things have definitely slowed down.

I continue seeing mostly facemasked locals during the morning and during much of the day. However, after dark there seems to be more young people without facemasks. Today seems an exceptionally slow day. Didn't see any tourist buses this morning or groups dragging suitcases down the street. The downtown hotels seem empty. Though we did hear some fireworks last night. Apparently they're on sale as usual at the market even though they are supposed to be prohibited. They're only laws.

The city workers continue pouring concrete on the beach where it should be only sand. Not their fault, but we are not happy with what they're doing in defiance of the will of the neighbors and pretty much everyone we come in contact with. NOTE: Never vote for a politician who owns a construction company and can award him or herself public contracts. Apparently all they can think of is where to pour more concrete.

The weather could not be more perfect. Not too hot, and not too cool. Just right! Though the days seem too short and the sun sets too soon. But that will correct itself soon enough.

If a day on the water away from the crowds looking for whales or watching sunsets or snorkeling secluded beaches or fishing or going to Isla Ixtapa and back sounds like something you'd like to do, I know some wonderful people who offer excellent services.
