Respetando La VirgenZIHta

As of today Zihuatanejo has registered a cumulative total of 1,551 confirmed cases of Covid-19 (eight more than yesterday), 123 that have resulted in fatalities, 13 that are currently active, and approximately 1,311 that have recovered. Vacations haven't even begun and we're already seeing small batches of new cases. Funners. I'm pretty sure Guerrero will remain in Semáforo Naranja for the foreseeable future.

Even though the churches are supposed to be closed here for Día de Guadalupe, there are a few peregrinaciones of Guadalupanos going on. Their exploding skyrockets can be heard kilometers away. Expect a noisy evening wherever you are. The Basílica de Guadalupe is closed in Tepeyác, but I expect we will still see many of Mexico's favorite singers paying their tributes on TV and singing Las Mañanitas at midnight. An annual event deeply ingrained in our culture.

My goodness, how could our weather be any more perfect? Sunny days. Refreshing nights. We must be in paradise!
