Subject: Holidays<br><br>Y el mismo de mÃ.<br><br>This Mexican holiday offers a good </span>opportunity to wish our Mexican friends on and off the List the very best.<br><br>Mexico has taken a bad double blow with the epidemic and the financial repercussions on top of the world economic recession, not to mention trouble with the narco gangs along the US border. The epidemic at least seems to be nearing its end. But unfortunately global hysteria about it is not and it has now come to targeting and singling out Mexican travelers.<br>
<br>My suggestion: spend your vacations in Mexico this year! It's a lovely country with lovely people, and what you read and hear is overblown.<br><br>Saludos cordiales,<br>Reinhard/Ron<br>Seattle, USA<br><br></div><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
