Una LluviaZIHto

https://youtu.be/GdvEg8tPNFc

Had a torrential deluge around 3:30 or so this morning. It only rained hard for about a half an hour, but so hard that the canal overflowed and the water was just about to flood most of downtown Zihuatanejo, parts of which were flooded, but only "the usual".

I slept through most of it. What woke me was the smell of muddy water, a sign that the canal has overflowed at the corner of Juan N. Álvarez and Benito Juárez near López Impresores. But a quick glance out the window and I could see the water was already receding. Five or ten more minutes of deluge and it would've been a messy morning for a lot of downtown businesses and residents.

I must say, the city's cleanup crews have been working damn hard to make sure hardly anyone sees just how much garbage washes onto the beaches (not to mention into the bay). Wouldn't want La Ropa to lose its Blue Flag certificación de playa limpia. A European tourist might decide not to come.

For those of you 40-49añeros needing your second dose of the Pfizer vaccination, this Friday it will be available at the Unidad Deportiva. Be there or be square.

Is it me or does the beach look a lot smaller than it used to?
