Health officials in Guerrero confirm 7 currently active cases of Covid-19 in Zihuatanejo, 58 in Acapulco, and 161 for the entire state.

A big shout out to the folks at Telmex who have worked diligently to stop the noise made by a series of triangular steel plates covering an underground street access junction in front of our home and our bedroom windows. I really didn't expect my complaint to go anywhere the first time I made it several years ago when the steel plates were installed and immediately sounded like hammers pounding steel when vehicles passed over them, but they came and welded all the plates together, and that resolved the problem for several years until some contractors broke them open. Again they came and dug up the entire frame and reset it and again welded the plates together, but during the construction of the pier the immense weight of the pilings on huge supersized trailer trucks passing over them every few days broke the welds, and the clanging began again. Since the city was responsible that time, my wife thought they should repair it, and she went to the ayuntamiento several times asking for help from Jorge, but zero zip zilch nada. So I contacted Telmex again, and they fixed them again. Since that time the welds broke yet again as the concrete broke up around the frame and frankly it looked like the entire thing was about to collapse, but I didn't even have to contact them this last time. They just showed up, reset the frame, thinking they had solved the problem, though it only made it worse, but a phone call a day later and they were back, this time with the most extensive welding job yet. It doesn't make a sound now. Going to enjoy sleeping tonight and appreciate the "relative" quiet. ¡Gracias Telmex!

We seem to be stuck in PERFECT WEATHER mode with daily highs of 30°C and nightly lows of 20°C. No rain or snow in the forecast! I hope everyone vacationing here is enjoying it. Those of us who live here certainly do.

I'm still a bit under the weather after eating food from a restaurant NOT on my list. I suspect it was the agua fresca that had a funny taste and of which I only took a few sips before deciding not to drink it. Just goes to show anyone can fall prey to intestinal ailments here. A reminder why I'm so careful about which restaurants I list.

A restaurant I most certainly and wholeheartedly can and do recommend is Deborah's Restaurant in Ixtapa. I've never had anything less than a stellar meal there. Deborah works hard to assure the quality of their food is consistent, and as a former restaurant worker I also appreciate very much how she has trained her staff. Always attentive. Always helpful and accommodating.
