Not just North Americans

I look at the webcams daily. There are also hundreds of citizens from Mexico not wearing them as they walk down the pier. Lost count today.
Pretty disheartening.


Mexicans are North Americans, too, Sandy. They are the “tourists” I mention almost every day. I don’t understand the disregard for others or disdain for the local facemask mandate among any visitors.

I know it is exasperating but for some reason, Norteamericanos is often used for UnitedStaters. If you have ever used the Pimsleur system, they start with the term Norteamericano for a U.S. citizen and much later in the courses they introduce Estadounidense. What is referred to as the Mexican-American War in the States is sometimes referred to as the North American Invasion in Mexico.

Uh, did someone forget about Canada?
