This Blog was created to chronicle our travels in Mexico but has since morphed into something else entirely. Our periodic Mexico travels are still in here but if that is why you came here, you will have to dig a little to get to it. Try searching the Blog Archive in the right hand column.

December 29
First a little story about December 29, Mexico's equivalent of April Fools' Day! The custom is, if you ask to borrow something from someone on December 29 and if the person loans it to you, you do not have to return it. If he asks for it back you say, "If you are foolish enough to loan me something on December 29, you do not deserve to get it back." Presumably this applies to money, cars or electric drills... I hope there is some secret handshake or something that gets you out of this.
