Frutos de la CooperaZIHón

This weekend is a puente or long weekend, and already we're seeing plenty of families of tourists. Hopefully there are some big spenders among them and not too many party animals to keep everyone awake all night long.

Great news re COVID. Many locals continue to wear cubrebocas out in public, but very few gringos or Canadians.

Holiday celebrations are confusing here. Thursday there were lots of school-age kids on the beach. If the holiday is celebrating Juarez' birthday, which is apparently not until 22 March, how long is the "long weekend"?

Some local and state teachers are on strike so some schools were closed, so maybe that's why you saw kids on the beach if they weren't tourists.

Monday the 21st is Benito Juárez' birthday, so that's the only día de asueto oficial.

It would be nice if foreigners also respected our local health safety protocols and wore facemasks in public in spite of all the inconvenience for them and the infringement on their "freedom". Yes, we all know there is about zero chance of infecting others or getting infected in open areas, but that's the difference between them and us. We still care to protect each other even if the risk is minimal until our health authorities say otherwise so that this damn virus disappears from our community.
