As of today, since April 18, 2020 Zihuatanejo has registered a cumulative total of 2,319 confirmed cases of Covid-19 (4 more than yesterday), 188 that have resulted in fatalities, 35 that are currently active, and approximately 1,947 that have recovered. Looking pretty good still. Locals are doing their part to keep us from going back to Semáforo Rojo.

Registration for the free Covid-19 vaccine for people between the ages of 50 and 59 begins Wednesday, April 28 online at https://mivacuna.salud.gob.mx

Regarding the remodeling of the Paseo de Los Pescadores, the general consensus seems to be that while parts of it are indeed attractive, the lack of shade makes it too hot to enjoy during the day, and the additional tons of cement radiate the day's heat well into the evening. Even the artists aren't happy about the lack of shade trees and tejabanes at Plaza del Artista. Lots of folks also agree the lighting is too bright along the waterfront. I've also noticed that it is quickly getting dirty from spills of food and beverages, dirty feet, chicles and losing its new look rather quickly. Hopefully the coming rains will clean it up.

I wonder what day we'll get our first real rain? Anyone want to guess? Last year's winner ReyRay says June 5, I say June 1, Humberto (hromero) says June 12, Casa Juan says May 29.

It seems like the evening coolness arrives a little later each evening recently. By the time I finally pull a sheet over me it's about time to get up. The daily temps are easing a little higher day by day. Water is getting more scarce, so be careful with the precious wet stuff. And May hasn't even begun.

Zihuatanejo is such an exhilarating place that sometimes you feel like you're just floating along instead of walking.
