Three to five cases of hermorrhagic dengue are being admitted weekly to our regional Hospital General IMSS Bienestar. Let's hope the city gets its act together and starts spraying for mosquitos, hopefully being careful not to kill all the other insects including honeybees in the process. They've been doing some spraying, but ineffectively and inconsistently.
It looks like we'll continue seeing some high surf for the next few days. Here in Zihuatanejo it hasn't been much of a problem, though it's washed out some sand where the fishermen park their boats on the beach in front of the basketball court, I suspect due to the sheer weight of the cement so close to the edge of the water, like when you stand at the water's edge and the sand washes out around your feet. Should be good for surfers at all the favorite local spots from La Barra de Potosí to La Saladita.
The water temp has dropped to 27.1°C, and we sure notice it living next to the water, especially in the morning when the overnight temps are at their lowest. Still no snow in our forecast. 
Be sure to check the calendar of events for the Sailfest on their webpage. The wonderful volunteers have been working extremely hard, and they deserve our gratitude and support.
Also get ready for the upcoming Expo Feria in Troncones starting this Friday. See the calendar of events here on my Community Notices & Events page.

One of Zihuatanejo's most authentic lodgings that best represents the old Zihuatanejo many of us fell in love with is Bambutreehouse. A lovely two-bedroom, two-bath open-air traditional home located on a low hill just a short walk from La Ropa Beach. Features a full-kitchen, daily maid service and wi-fi internet service.

Por la avaricia desmesurada y la nula apreciación de la naturaleza por parte del alcalde actual de Zihuatanejo, estamos en el proceso de perder este bonito lugar en la orilla del mar al final de Playa La Ropa con su vida marina todavía abundante pero muy frágil debajo de toneladas de cemento de la cementera del mismo alcalde. Aparte de ser un ecocidio, huele a corrupción. La atracción principal de Zihuatanejo siempre ha sido su belleza natural, pero gracias a unos políticos egoístas, ineptos y avariciosos, más y más Zihuatanejo está perdiendo su encanto y su atracción principal tratando de fingir ser algo que no lo es. #PobrePueblo

They drove up and down Calle Adelita last night around 10PM spraying people walking. I guess reducing the mosquitoes or the people around ,the result is still a success…. Lower case counts Lol.

Back in '74 when I lived here they drove around with a fogger in the back of a pick-up truck spraying into restaurants where people were eating. There wasn't much we could do except continue eating. FYI, people from my generation still refer to "insecticido" as "DDT" since it apparently was formerly used here, though I don't know exactly when. Hopefully not when I first lived here.

That pick-up truck fogger was operating at least until the mid-2010s. When it came by Carlos and Joa's "the flophouse bar" on Calle del Ejido, all we could do was cover our drinks.
