State health authorities report 14 currently active cases of Covid-19 in Zihuatanejo, 5 in Petatlán and 0 in La Unión. Still no word on the booster shots or vaccines for rezagados.

Las posadas continue in neighborhood after neighborhood, business after business. It's good to see everyone getting together, relaxing and having a good time. It's been a long stressful year.

Our downtown beach has become a lot more popular with all the restrictions on other beaches like El Palmar, La Ropa and Las Gatas. But I'm still not giving up on putting an end to the stupid and counterproductive Blue Flag. It keeps a lot of locals and visitors from being able to enjoy beaches like La Ropa and El Palmar and elsewhere where its restrictions are being applied for political favors more than anything else. My dear long-time friend Memo from Texas who comes every year used to take his lunch, a book, music, his chair and an umbrella and sit at a certain spot on La Ropa like he's been doing for decades, but he's been unable to do so this year because of the stupid rules. I'm hoping he'll resume doing so now that it appears the absurd rules are no longer being applied though there's been no official announcement (and I wouldn't hold my breath awaiting one). But frankly I no longer trust our local government to do the right thing and respect locals as well as our long-time historical visitors. They say one thing then do another, and they've told too many lies to be trusted any longer. Bummer.

I'm still hearing from lodging operators that they have lodgings available for the holidays, and of course there ae plenty of places available after the holidays if you want to miss the crowds.

A loooooong wave at Playa La Madera.

What do Blue Flag rules have to do with it? We live a few blocks from Blue Flag designated beaches on the Caribbean coast of Mexico and routinely take our umbrella, chairs and cooler to the beach.
