Local health authorities are reporting that 13 cases of dengue were confirmed in Zihuatanejo during January. Without any rain that number should drop in coming months.

We are expecting one of the worst water shortages ever at the same time local authorities are allowing the construction of numerous condos and tourist lodgings mostly along Playa Larga and Playa Blanca. No water. No public security. But more tourists. Oh boy! Politicians creating problems for other politicians to promise to solve (though they never do).

Our mayor Jorgito made a big affair of announcing his new money-making scheme to downtown residents of tearing up all the quaint and rustic adoquín paving stones so that he can replace them with his own cement, removing any trees that get in his way in the process, such as the big ficus trees in front of the church, and replacing them with scrawny palm trees that provide almost no shade. What a greedy ass! A public project no one asked for, totally unneeded, that only benefits him personally. Not the downtown residents. But of course, since everyone wants their discounts on their local taxes and they're afraid of retributions, no one speaks out against him to his face. But I've seen more comments against this farce than for it in the social media. I expect more people will speak up once the construction forces them to close their businesses and lose money.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE if you see a crocodile on the beach or in the bay, don't bring it to the attention of local authorities. Our incompetent local authorities will remove and kill them in their ongoing efforts to simulate doing their jobs. We like tourists who respect our wildlife. Simply abide by 3 simple rules to avoid any unwanted encounters with crocs.

1) Don't feed them.
2) Don't threaten or harass them.
3) Respect their space.

We also don't call local authorities to deal with stray dogs for the same reason: we'd rather have the dogs alive than dead.

No lodging better represents the true magic of Zihuatanejo than the Hotel Catalina at Playa La Ropa. An oasis in a garden of paradise. Comfortable rooms with privileged views, delicious food at their restaurant, extremely warm and friendly staff, and the truest ambiance of Zihuatanejo.

Al mediodía en Zihuatanejo la gente busca la poca sombra que todavía hay en Playa Principal.
