Guerrero's health authorities report 1 currently active case of Covid-19 in Zihuatanejo, and 0 cases in Petatlán and La Unión. Acapulco only reports 7 active cases. This is more like it.

Hotel operators in Zihuatanejo-Ixtapa are trying to get the gobernadora to allow 90% occupancy at local hotels. I expect state health authorities will concede the request.

Though some folks including fishermen are reporting a marea roja event because of a discoloration in the water along our coast, state health authorities have not yet issued any alert regarding the consumption of bivalve mollusks. Thank goodness the red tides here are extremely mild in comparison to what Florida suffers. There were times when I lived there when I couldn't go within miles of the coast, and when I lived on the barrier islands I would have to stay indoors with the windows closed because the red tide would cause me coughing fits and sting my eyes, and the beaches would be lined with dead fish of all sizes. The problem is so bad there red tide can be detected on Florida's West Coast during much of the year, and flare ups are more frequent than ever. Let's hope it never gets that bad here.

Our mornings remain mighty darn cool for this late in the year. I'm enjoying it while it lasts. It won't be long until the breezes die down and the smoke, heat and humidity build up to almost torturous levels, especially if you're a snowbird unaccustomed to the tropics.

Zihuatanejo still offers lovely very comfortable lodgings away from the hustle and bustle and noise and traffic. Wonderful small lodgings like Casa Arcoiris and Villa Zanzibar offer extreme relaxation from their treetop perches with precious views of the bay and within easy walking distance of Playa La Ropa, yet the loudest noise you're likely to hear at either place is a chachalaca.

Big wide empty walkway covering up way too much beach. Sure miss all the tall palm trees and the shade-giving almendro trees.
