Recuperándose de las CelebraZIHones
According to Guerrero's state health authorities Zihuatanejo currently has 27 confirmed active cases of Covid-19, while neighboring Petatlán and La Unión have 0.
While visitors enjoy themselves every way imaginable to celebrate the end of one year and the beginning of another, it's a very different story for many of us who work and live here, similar as it is in every tourist destinations. Personally, I've almost always worked during the Christmas and New Year's holidays with few exceptions. This is typically when most of us are busiest. And the night of Fin del Año Viejo most years has seen our family at home caring for our pets. On many holidays we simply go out to celebrate much earlier with a big comida before the restaurants get crowded. This year we enjoyed delicious salads and pizzas at air-conditioned Emilio's in Zihuatanejo. Hardly anyone was there, and we had a front row seat for people watching as hundreds of families returned from a day at Las Gatas. A Tránsito friend of ours had his lunch that he was trying to eat but had to keep putting down to deal with traffic and help tourists. Poor guy still had it in his hand mostly uneaten after an hour.
The loud thumping of music was thankfully over by 4AM, allowing us a few hours of quality sleep before the folks with leaf blowers showed up at 7AM (a half hour later than yesterday) to clean the plaza across the street and the rest of the walkway. We can barely wait until the kids are back in school next Wednesday and hopefully the crowds go back home and mostly more affluent visitors remain.
Now that the crowds will be leaving it's a good time to come visit.
