¡FeliZIHdades a los Niños!

It didn't quite get as cool overnight as the forecast predicted, but this Thursday morning was still coolish and pleasant for a morning walk, exercising and doing chores.

The day was extremely pleasant with mild temperatures and bright blue skies. Children everywhere were enjoying their day. For us Día de los Niños is a bittersweet day since we lost our Raulito 5 years ago, but we remember him with all our love, and we enjoy seeing other children enjoying themselves as he would be doing.

We enjoyed our pozole today delivered to our home from La Jaiba restaurant. One of the perks of downtown living. I give thanks every single day for our delicious Mexican fare. Although I was raised in the South and the Caribbean, both places with delicious fare, and though I was an assistant cook in a South Carolina BBQ joint, a French restaurant and a Florida seafood restaurant where I used to prepare some pretty delicious dishes, nothing jiggles my Jell-O like Mexican food.

Children were having fun all up and down the downtown waterfront this evening with their new toys for Día del Niño. While it's an international celebration, I don't even recall it being celebrated in the States when I lived there. Mexico places an importance on families and children that distinguishes Mexican culture from others. It's one of our cultural traits that stands out.

Remember, this Friday starting at 9AM there will be a parade downtown from Cinco de Mayo to Juan N. Álvarez to Benito Juárez and up to the intersection with Avenida Morelos. All the local unions will be present, and their workers enjoy strong support among the local population. Lots of our friends and neighbors will be marching, so we'll be cheering them on. Café Caracol next to Plaza del Artista will be a terrific place to watch from.

Villas Troncones on Troncones Beach is a lovely lodging away from the crowds with the beach out your front door and where the night sky can still be appreciated. Ten villas featuring from 1 to 5 bedrooms surrounding a pool. All villas have ceiling fans, A/C and kitchens. Meals are available prepared on property.
