¡Muchas felicidades a todos los músicos por ser hoy su día de Santa Cecilia!
Lightning is flashing all around Zihuatanejo this Wednesday evening and a good breeze has been blowing, but so far no rain. It's still early. A cold front is causing an Evento de "Norte", responsible for stormy conditions across much of Mexico as it passes by. Keeping fingers crossed. We really need some rain.
I keep seeing more and more northern faces around town. It's good to see you all! Welcome back!
I hope all the local Estadounidenses enjoy Thanksgiving this Thursday. Lots of local restaurants are having special dinners, some quite elaborate. The entire community of Zihuatanejo is especially thankful this year that we were spared by Otis. And our hearts are with our brethren in Acapulco who are still struggling daily just to survive.

Otra mañana hermosa y tranquila en la bahía de Zihuatanejo donde 2 personas andan en sus tablas de remo de pie. ¿Quiénes serán?

Hola
USA Thanksgiving
Why is Mexico embrassing this USA tradition here. It is not a tradition here. I suspect that it is just for the USA tourists money. Shame on Mexico.

Smart-aleck! Mexico ISN'T embracing USA tradition. However, here in this TOURIST DESTINATION some restaurants are providing a SERVICE so that U.S. tourists can celebrate their special day. Unlike Jalogüín, most Mexicans are totally unaware that this is a special day for U.S. citizens.

What part of "Mexico isn't embracing (or celebrating) a U.S. tradition" went over your head?
I don't recall seeing hardly any foreign faces around here in early October, though I don't doubt some Canadians were here. How do you know they didn't celebrate their day?

I have many Canadian friends that were here on Oct 6th. I asked them and they said not even a mention about it here.

"Many". We'll just have to take your word for it that that means more than a handful. One difference between Gringos and Canucks is Gringos are known for being big spenders while Canadians are known for being more tight-fisted. Might the latter have anything to do with it?
I don't recall anyone here being on the lookout for foreigners in early October, even though as you say there were "many" Canadians here. It must be Justin's fault.

Costco in Juarez was sold out of turkeys last night. Happens every year.
PS They're in Mexico.

Why is the U.S. embracing Dia de Los Muertos and Cinco de Mayo? Cross cultural pollination?

Cinco de Mayo is a totally U.S.-made holiday. We barely acknowledge the event in Mexico, but the USA has made it into a full-scale festival with parades, guacamole, and copious amounts of tequila and cerveza. Whoa!

It may seem a bit odd but the celebration of Cinco de Mayo actually started in the United States. It was initiated in 1862 by the Mexicans in Alta California that were now U.S. citizens.
