Guerrero's health officials report there are currently 39 active cases in Zihuatanejo, 5 in La Unión, 1 in Petatlán, 2 in Técpan, 203 in Acapulco, and 1,106 in the entire state.

Thursday night's rain cooled down our temperatures considerably. Had to sleep under a sheet with the fan on low. That's more like it. We were sound asleep when the bed started shaking from an earthquake just after 3 in the morning sending us into RUN FOR YOUR LIVES mode. I hate it when that happens!

Then we were rudely awakened by amplified disco music in the alleyway that used to be a garden called Plaza del Artista across the street from our downtown home, which frankly looks like the entrance to a Disneyland-type amusement park with a big archway with fake fruit all over it and plastic colored innertubes tied to it. All that's missing are dancing plants and singing flowers. There was a kids' race, but apparently first they had to make sure the kids were all deaf, I guess. There's no good reason to blare terrible disco and rap music at 7:30 in the morning! But it seems to be a new standard for the current municipal administration. All the Marvel and DC super heroes were there, dancing. Some kids were holding their hands over their ears and crying. No one seemed to pay any attention to them. Fortunately it was all over a couple of hours later before thunder and lightning returned and we got a nice little morning rain that turned into another beautiful day in paradise!

In Barra de Potosí there's a truly enchanting posada called Hacienda La Rusa. A fabulous affordable lodging in a Mexican colonial-style bed & breakfast inn with 2 swimming pools. Located just a few steps from the beach and over a dozen excellent fresh seafood restaurants. Rent individual suites or rent the entire hacienda. One of those magical places you will not want to leave.

More turtle tracks and a nest just barely above the waterline. The waterfront lights are affecting turtle nesting but no one in our city government seems to care, so I guess I'll just have to keep reminding them.
