IniZIHo del Mes de la Patria

Sunday night's rain made for great sleeping weather. It cooled things down nicely. Municipal workers were out early cleaning the roads and beaches.

School season began today and over a million students in Guerrero started classes. I'm unaware of any problems from last night's downpour. The rain let up before midnight, so the roads had plenty of time to drain before dawn, though I'm sure there was still plenty of mud from the runoff that gets worse each year from the increased amount of cement covering what used to be our wooded hillsides.

Today was quite a historical day for Mexico. Beginning with our first female president giving her Primer Informe, sort of like a State of the Union speech, where Presidenta Claudia Sheinbaum explained in detail what her government has spent its money on and what it has achieved during her first of six years in office. The achievements have been noteworthy, to say the least. Mexico is progressing and moving forward.

The other notable part of the day was the swearing in of the new Supreme Court who were also recognized by Mexico's indigenous communities for the first time, and they were each bestowed their Bastón de Mando, a symbolic staff of authority conferred by indigenous communities in a show of trust and support for the new ministers who were elected by the people. Only AMLO and Presidenta Claudia have previously received such honors from the indigenous communities. The speech by the new president of the Corte Suprema began in his native Mixteca language. Quite a historical moment for Mexico. It's a privilege to bear witness to and to live here during this historical time in Mexico's history.

It remained cloudy for much of the day, and sprinkled lightly during the morning, but as the day wore on it became apparent the storm clouds were moving on, more and more cerulean sky became visible, and all the dire warnings about days of torrential rains were evidently in error. The ocean remains angry and choppy, but some fishermen were heading out this evening as we strolled to the pier and back. The Capitanía del Puerto only had the Bandera Amarilla flying, so though there are choppy seas, the Capitanía del Puerto apparently doesn't consider conditions too dangerous for small craft.

Hotel Quinta Camelinas is one of Zihuatanejo's hidden gems. A truly lovely and extremely comfortable colonial-style boutique hotel with a pool offering different sized rooms and suites, perfect for couples, all with air-conditioning, cable TV and wi-fi internet access. Conveniently located in a quiet neighborhood two blocks from La Madera Beach in the Darío Galeana neighborhood near the fire department.
