2010: a good time to come to Mexico

2010 starts the countdown to Mexico's bicentenial, an all out biggest ever celebration and, for Mexico, that says a lot. Actually there are two celebrations: 200 years of freedom from Spain and then another 100 years since the Mexican Revolution. All of this history is explained here  Plans are afoot for all kinds of exciting nationwide events and tours. It's a good time to be here.

My friend Robin from Baltimore was here last week to catch the tail end of the holidays. She was delayed because of the blizzard that closed in the airport the day before she was to fly down. She finally got here and we celebrated several days together. The big one was last night in the jardin. She has been wanting to know how come she wasn't on my list of people in Baltimore to whom I sent ecards for the holidays. The answer is because I knew I would be dedicating this post to her.

Vaya con dios Robin and Esme. We will see you in the Spring. In the meantime, Robin, you can have these memories of the moments you spent in the jardin in San Miguel on New Year's Eve 2010
